• Hi! Not doing Disney, but just ran the Chicago this past Sunday. It was my first marathon as a vegan/mostly raw. I ONLY take coconut water with me… it’s fantastic. You absorb most of it, so you don’t have to stop at a porta-potty! I also ate tons of…

• I should try figs again too. I hated fig netons when I was a kid… but I bet fresh ones are good! I wish it was easier to get to the soft meat in young coconuts, and I wish there was more of it, because that could substitute bananas in a lot of thing…

• Thanks for the advice! I was considering avocadoes; I am a runner, but running season for me is over until spring (i like to mix it up) so weight gain does concern me. Frozen fruit is a great option too. RawKid, I’ll have to check about the plantain…

• Hi itourist. I wish you were right—that it was a reaction to something else. But, a few years ago, I was surprised to find out that bananas diddnt slightly burn everyone elses mouth. I thought that was just how banans were—like sweet but slightly sp…

• you know, it’s weird—I made it through 28 years without being allergic to ANYTHING! Two years ago my sinuses exploded in late summer and I had no idea what was going on. Now every fall sucks—I have to take prescription allergy meds to function, and …

• Hi Chicory, I drink A LOT of wine. I usually have 1/2 a bottle after dinner on most work nights (obviously a bad habit). Usually, I am absolutely fine, as I have a big tolerance, but every once in a blue moon, I will get WASTED off of a small amount…

• When I was a freshman in college, there was a kid in my dorm who was a “bible thumper” and who belonged to a very pushy campus bible group. One night we got to talking in the lounge, and it soon elevated into an intense debate. We argued for hours, …

• I totally recommend the book “The Thrive Diet” by Brendan Brazier. He is a vegan, mostly raw endurance athlete (so not a body builder… but his research is fascinating). He runs marathons, ultra marathons, triathalons… and is an elite athlete

• Hi Rawkid and Randommara, I just bought chicks and fish for my cats at Prey 4 Pets. I also got 2 turkey wings to start with for my dog. It is creepy to but meat again, but I figure the amount of suffering is next to nothing compared to what’s in “ca…

• Hi Randommara… I want to start my dog on raw too. I am not sure if he will go for the mice. I showed him one yesterday and he looked at me like I was crazy! My dog is pretty small too, but not tiny like yours (maybe 12 lbs). For your little guys, ma…

• Thanks RawKid. Actually, my younger cat Mongoose (“Goose”) LOVES LOVES LOVES his mice! He gobbles them up in seconds! My older cat Neffies wouln’t go for it for days and days… but yesterday I cut up the mouse (not a pleasant experience) and mixed it…

• Hey Rawkid, I got a bag of frozen hoppers (sure looks creepy!) I thawed one and let my cats at it. They tossed it around, and played with it, bit into it… but wouldnt eat it. I ended up throwing it out, which bothers me… any tricks on getting them t…

• thanks for the advice! I will order some today and let you know what happens as soon as we get them! (my boyfriend is pretty freaked out by the whole idea… so looks like I’ll be the only one doing the thawing, and cleaning!)

• Hi again Raw Kid! I am thinking seriously about buying some frozen mice from RodentPro. In your opinon, what size should I get? How many? Do I thaw them in warm water? How do I know when they are warm inside too? I’m hesitant about buying chicks… th…

• Hello, I had the same problem. There is a glitch currently which won’t publish the recipe without uploading a photo… which is why I uploaded a pic of my dog with my last recipe.

• Hmmm, yeah, I agree with your thinking… why dont you try really massaging the soaked almonds with a mixture of salt and coconut oil…

• Hi TreeOfLife.. could it be possible that you are slightly allergic to mangoes or something else you’re eating? That could cause inflammation for sure. I know I am slightly allergic to bananas because my mouth and throat tingle after I eat one.
