• Not even a little. Just like candy, seriously. Only about 100 X's more delicious. The flavor is very caramel-y. The ones I got have pits and are smaller (rounder) then any others I have seen. Let us know which ones you pick and how you like them!

  in Looking for dried dates with low glycemic index Comment by gratefultobe
• Hi dearbella, There is an awesome mail order place that carries 2 of the varieties you mentioned (no bo ma'an) plus about 20 more. The Date People - phone # is 760-359-3211. I got an order of Barhi's a few weeks ago and they are very good. Plus you …

• My advice is pretty widely known, I think. Ice chips, and I'm thinking back 18 & 20 yrs. ago, was the only thing I needed. And if they weren't suggested to me I wouldn't have asked cuz like waterbaby eating or drinking was the last thing on my m…

• You are just beautiful and can be so proud of your efforts! Please don't say you are 'so out of shape and overweight'. Even to yourself. The girl I see doesn't deserve that!!! =)

• Mine is called a Rhino Horn, lol. Got it, where else? on ebay. It is plastic but I still like it and it has a tiny measuring spoon that comes with it. I was told to use non-iodized salt only so sea salt is just fine. It's not necessary to buy the ex…

• joanna & blueyz, Are you guys talking about seasonal allergies? I hope you are able to pick up a neti pot at a health food store or somewhere because I think they work great. Very weird feeling at first but I got rid of a cold that was coming on…

• Hi, May not be the info you were hoping for but I really do well w/ container gardening. I bought 3 Earthboxs about 5 yrs. ago just because I always struggled with soil conditions, proper watering and pests in our yard. My parents were always succes…

  in Are Hydrponics Safe? Comment by gratefultobe
• Hi pixx, Just wanted to add it's kinda cool that the vita-mix can be used to warm blended soups. Not even sure if the one youre considering can or not. I dont do it too often but did it today with a new butternut recipe and it made it very convenien…

  in Waring Pro blender...? Comment by gratefultobe
• Yep, great of you to share. It's saved to my laptop and I just made the Butternut Soup from pg.23. DE-LISH! Although my rude son said it looks like I'm eating a bowl of mustard. THANKS!

  in A Gift For The Smoohie Lover! :) Comment by gratefultobe
• Well, I may not agree about the little kids watching the worst of human beings behavior. Especially since an aware parent could have them avoiding the species ism through 'osmosis' so to speak but certainly a teenager could handle it. Thats just my …

• EXACTLY what everyone who I offer the dvd to has said.. "I know- but I dont want to look at it". I always reassure they can handle it but... you just cant force it and maybe someday. Seeing it and the thoughts behind it will absolutely awaken a comp…

• Good for you lauraj & welcome back. It's so important to remember... this is a choice. We can choose to look & feel our very best. If we choose to have a non-raw meal then own it and choose again at the next one. lol

  in Help! fell off the wagon BADLY. Comment by gratefultobe
• What about cigarettes? Most people go years just fine and dandy, sort of. If you dont stress about them will that protect you? What you teach your kids will answer that one. You cant just wish for the one invincible immune system. Nor should anyone …

• I sure didnt thrive on that garbage. I got so overweight in my 20s & 30s when my entire family was lining the fast food GIANTS pockets. I know it's sad but that was just normal to us and look around, we were not alone. Make no mistake, they will…

  in Alcohol & Raw? Comment by gratefultobe

  in Q about dehydrators Comment by gratefultobe
• Mine is the Good4U brand and it does not heat up (or humidify) the room at all either. I actually have to put my hands on it to feel the heat from it. Makes the room smell great... I am the only raw one in my house but today I have 8 of the 10 trays…

  in Q about dehydrators Comment by gratefultobe
• You are nuts if you think I ever cared what you ate. I always maintained anyone is welcome to share and contribute (in my insignificant opinion) no matter what their percent of raw. Show me where I ever said anything else. Cant I have an opinion too…
