• I second the suggestion of taking her to Cru. To. Die. For. Weekend lunch isn't too hectic, and it's the same menu as dinner.

• Call the Whole Foods (Sherman Oaks "East") because I bet that's closest. Other options might be Follow Your Heart in Canoga Park, and I'm pretty sure the Woodland Hills Whole Foods has them, but that would be the farthest away. The Sherman Oaks "Wes…

• Ugh, this sounds awful. When you said "rampant skin growth" I immediately thought of Candida for some reason. All things considered I wouldn't rule out surgery, but it might be something he has to do many times over the course of his growing years. …

• I'm a total foodie too. Foodies are good at doing raw because we know how to make things taste good...and when things taste good, you want to eat more of them. Then the overindulgence....but I think you're coming from a positive interest in adding/t…

  in Glamazon needs your RAW info, advice and wisdom Comment by Suasoria
• And I agree with a "keep it simple" approach. It's understandable to have a bunch of questions about foods that probably seem strange. Instead maybe think about meals - what will you have for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. Figure out what will be…

• My stepdad was put on coumadin during a hospital stay some months ago for post-surgical blood clots, so I met with the staff dietitian about his nutritional needs. (Eyeroll. I apologize if any of you are hospital dietitians, but I did not enjoy the …

• I can think of no negatives to a high-fiber diet, except possibly outliving all your friends and being lonely when you hit 95, 100, 115 years old...but you'll still have us!!

• I'll defer to Dr. John McDougall, who has a 30-year career of solid nutritional advice and several books on the topic. "A vegetarian diet based on any single one or combination of... unprocessed starches (eg, rice, corn, potatoes, beans), with the a…

• "Not accepted" isn't the same as "banned" in this context? There were some mildly raunchy commercials during the SB, but none quite as gratuitous as this. But I have a hard time condemning PETA for using this exploitive tactic among others in their …

• I know I sometimes don't live in the real world, but I'm honestly shocked that anybody consumes some of these mainstream "foods." I don't think I've had a real soda in 15 years. You couldn't pay me to drink one. Even Michelle Obama made these commen…

• Welcome, Dusty. Since this is your first post it comes across as spammy. I sense some antagonism toward Zinfandel from you. However, her point was well made about "not good enough" if 5 of 100 people using it will get pregnant. That's just not relia…

• Interesting point Carnap makes about environmental groups -- I meet very few environmental activists who are vegan or even vegetarian. There's a huge disconnect still.

  in Non-Raw Boyfriend Comment by Suasoria
• Carnap: I feel you've been ready to leave this relationship for some time now - based on a lot of your recent comments. I send you hugs...and wish you a safe, positive exit. Glamazon: what you say is true (most people are ignorant, why should he cha…

• The person who takes responsibility for feeding the family sets the agenda IMO. There are "feeders" and there are "eaters" in every household, and the eaters have two choices - take it or leave it (and fend for yourself). At this point in my food ev…

• Hi Lindaaa, and welcome. I doubt you will find consensus on any of your four food questions even from people here with years of experience. I'm less inclined to say "you should do/eat XYZ" but more inclined to say find what works for you, since you …

• Ooh, hiding slipups isn't good, babe. Why hide? If you're eating without realizing it, you're on auto-pilot. Like my man Ram Dass said - be here now. Everyone is allowed to daydream, of course, but there are simple practices to cultivate mindfulness…

• My people grew tomatoes in the old country (Italy) and they sun-dried them, but they were careful to bring everything indoors at sunset because any overnight/morning dew would ruin the crop.

• One can never have enough mock tuna. Pulp from the juicer will decompose really quickly in the garden if you have one (or know someone who does). Dig a hole about 8 inches deep, dump the pulp, cover the hole. This will enrich the soil massively. Jus…

• Poor baby! Ginger and mint are both very soothing on the stomach. A teaspoon of ginger mashed up with hot water as a tea might help. Chew on the ginger when the tea is done. Chew some mint leaves or try a tea as above. Some people are more sensitive…
