• I'm so glad you decided to move out. You're an adult now - and married - and shouldn't be living with your parents anymore. These kinds of interactions just prove it. It's always astonishing, no matter how much I experience it, how closely people cl…

• For some people of Mediterranean origin, fava beans may trigger favism, a disease like anemia. Is that what you're referring to?

• Ick, I hate when people use this site to market a business. I take a daily multivitamin, a B12 supplement (sublingual) every other day or so, extra vitamin C (good to have on hand, anyway), an antioxidant, plus whatever junk my husband feels like lo…

• Ugh, I hate people. Pits are not considered adoptable by most city shelters, so they will almost certainly be euthanized. Try contacting a pit bull rescue organization - here's one in Seattle http://www.bullseyerescue.org/

• Yum, pineapple. I don't think I could eat an entire one, but, darn close, probably...I don't think I've experienced the citric acid effects you mentioned. Usually I let them get as ripe as possible, and then put them in the fridge so they don't spoi…

• In my experience, people are more inspired by the person delivering the message than they are by the content of the message. Who you are is more important than what you say. From what I can tell, you live your life and your values authentically...th…

• Romaine and pineapple are a good combo. Try various combos and various greens, and if you hit on something you don't like, well, plug your nose and gulp it down - and try something different tomorrow!

• I have nothing really to add, just that I'm grateful you're reaching out. A lot of people here care about you!

• What Rawpreston said - dairy has a substance related to morphine. It gives us a warm fuzzy happy feeling, so we keep eating it. I second the suggestion of a cheesy sauce - looooove Crisyn's Rich Cheddar Sauce http://goneraw.com/node/635

• Same here with a Cuisinart - it's probably 20-something years old. It's possible they don't make them like they used to, but mine is still going strong.

• Organic food only looks expensive compared to conventionally produced food, which is artificially cheap due to subsidies - I appreciate that the writer explained this, because most don't. If the meat industry wasn't subsidized, hamburger would be $3…

• I find that if you add a half a red pepper to tomato soups, you get a much more appetizing color. I'd probably add a little garlic too, and pulse in some parsley at the end.

• No matter what the issue, you simply cannot go wrong adding more raw foods to your diet, and your husband and kids need healthier foods too. As advised above, they can eat a side salad if that's your main dish. Do be aware that kicking a lifetime of…

• If you were eating a Standard American Diet based on meat and dairy, and have switched to a raw vegan diet, I'd be surprised if you don't lose weight even if you are eating a lot of plant-based fats.

• There are a few threads here with creative advice - none of which I can remember right now - try a search for "college" or "dorm."

• I'm interested in why you'd want to eliminate salt altogether. A little Celtic sea salt or Himalayan pink salt adds a lot of needed minerals.

• Wow, that first one is deeply flawed. The "rate your diet" quiz actually gives you points for skim milk, roast beef, etc.

• I think I know what you're saying - and since we're talking about children for the most part, I agree that it's largely about how the parents deal with it and perhaps schools to a far lesser extent. But like a lot of health problems, obesity is quic…

• Being vegan is the number one thing we can do for the planet! I've been obsessed with saving water lately. I try to reserve all the water from washing veggies so I can dump it in the garden. I haven't gotten around to getting a bucket for the shower…

• Ultimate Superfoods also has a good hemp seed. It may be slightly cheaper than Nutiva. * Sorry, I had to edit - I originally said Living Essentials, but it's US we're using now.

• This is my new favorite thing to do with it: http://goneraw.com/recipe/chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-balls I could make a batch every week, they're so good. I also posted a pizza crust recipe that's mostly almond flour.

• What a coinky-dink, I stopped using shampoo last week, and so far it's been fine. I've been "co-washing" though - washing with conditioner, rubbing it into my scalp like shampoo, then rinsing it out.

• Good point about the workers. I would think you'd HAVE to go numb, frankly. The only place I know for sure to get the audiobook is on earthlings.com via download.

• Just FYI, Earthlings is also available as an audio book for people who really, truly cannot watch it. But I strongly believe that it's critical to have the _information_. I have seen it several times and honestly I'm a little desensitized to it by n…

• I have a vintage stove with a lid that covers up the burners. Usually there's a kitchen towel on it and dishes are air-drying. (I have a DW, but I don't run the dry cycle.) What people usually say when they see the inside of my fridge is "wow, you h…
