• If there's less than a tablespoon or so of nooch, I have skipped it and not really noticed it - a little extra salt or lemon instead adds some 'zing.'

• Rice and grains aren't "processed foods," they are whole foods. There are some breads that are healthy and nutritious. (I am not one who believes that cooked foods are poison.) I'm going to support Emtpdmom and agree about looking at your current di…

• Hmmm. Carrots and apples are both very moist, so I can imagine this is difficult. What kind of pan is it in? Can you cut it in smaller sections so it dries out more evenly?

• I cannot tell by sight if something is rancid, but I've never seen pine nuts turn black. That could also be mold. Rancidity is one of those smells/tastes that you "just know" - like metallic tastes or other odd ones. It's hard to describe. Most of t…

• Soup! Soups are easy. I know you can search for recipes by the required equipment, and I know you can search for the tag easy, but I couldn't do both. (The site is built differently than it used to be.)

• Adding another two cents to the B12 discussion, it is something that becomes problematic in old age. Whether it triggers or just worsens neurological diseases like dementia and Alzheimers I don't know, but from an orthomolecular medicine standpoint …

  in why are so many on this site afraid of fruit? Comment by Suasoria
• Hmm, I don't consider myself "afraid of fruit." I just don't like very many sweet fruits. I try to eat a banana once a week or so, but I get no pleasure out of it and by the end I have to kind of force myself to finish it. Cherry season is starting,…

• Try a green smoothie for breakfast so you get the fiber (fuel) along with the vitamins. Superfoods/supplements - I think a good green mineral powder with spirulina, like Vitamineral Green, or E3 Live, is a good thing to have. Check around online for…

• I think detox is very real. I also think it gets blamed for symptoms quite liberally when there may be other reasons for them. It is not uncommon for detox "experiences" to recur on and off for years.

• I read that part of the reason she was spared was that the slaughterhouse, which was a Halal operation, no longer wanted her after she'd been roped and shot full of tranquilizers. That I guess means he meat was no longer acceptable for their dietary…

• It depends on the manufacturer. If they are pasteurized, they are exposed to very high temperatures. Chances are if it comes in a jar from the supermarket, it's been pasteurized for a longer shelf life. http://www.realpickles.com has some info on th…

• Ditto what Emtpdmom said. Dietary changes are very hard to stick to, especially if you try to do everything overnight. I offer this advice based on how many people try to go from SAD to raw in one step, fail, then go around saying "eating raw is too…

• Honestly this is something that keeps me from being 100% raw. Even at 70-80% I lose too much weight. I always eat plenty of nuts, seeds, and avocados too because I make fancy dishes (and I have an avocado tree). The only things I DON'T do regularly …

• Certainly it is overblown, but it's also a "teachable moment" in terms of the issues it forces people to think about. I don't fear on my own behalf, but I do not for a minute think zoonotic diseases should be taken lightly.

• I am not a big sesame fan, so I couldn't eat tahini alone. However, in recipes, a teaspoon or two at a time, it adds a lot of depth.

• I believe in "grandfather clauses" which means using up ingredients you have on hand, then replacing them with a cleaner version. : ) I use Himalayan pink salt since it is a bit cheaper than Celtic sea salt and just as good.

• Sounds like you're doing well. Zucchini suck? Oh geez, try again. Zucchini makes the best "pasta" and is great in hummus (a good cheap filler food). Another cheapskate tip: sunflower seeds are much less expensive than cashews, macadamias, etc., and …
