• Wow a79, I retract my comment asking you to hang in there back on the 'Alcohol & Raw' thread. Basically, the not giving 2 shits comment was pretty sad. And if anyone has gotten overly touchy it would be you and you seem to be getting worse. Befo…

  in My foray into raw eating Comment by gratefultobe
• I agree RawK. Thank you for everything you said. So often here the person trying to do that gets jumped by the little group of nuts half holding on to their sad eating ways. Well, I'm NOT judging until they try to tell me why it's ok when even they …

• Our home town brand (along w/Gallo Winery) is Sciabica's Olive Oil. I would happily recommend for a great quality cold-pressed oil. The flavored one's are fantastic!

• Good morning (here) Carnap, Clearly rawcanadian doesn't have this issue but I think we are alike in that indulging in a cooked starchy food tends to be some kind of trigger. We just want to continue eating it even though we know we are not hungry an…

  in food combining Comment by gratefultobe
• Awesome! Both of you. My understanding has been it's because we no longer live in the perpetual state of dehydration most people do. Juicy fruits and veggies and lots of water instead of coffee, alcohol & processed foods. =)

• stylestacey, Thank you, the web site you shared came along at a good time for me. Lately I've been shocked at how strong onions, even green ones have been to my tongue. I have been just cutting them out all together and thinking it was strange becau…

  in Got a good story? Inspired someone or gotten an unusual tip? Comment by gratefultobe
• Maybe it's just me but I get so much resistance to this great way of living that I get so very happy when someone comes back with a positive report for me. It's silly if I'm the only one sharing but here gos again.. thx ofthesea :) I just got a grea…

• A funny little tip I found by accident here...I was checking out Raw Curls web site and noticed her wearing ear covers like you might see at a shooting range or something while she was using her high speed blender. I dont care what they say those th…

  in raw eggplant? Comment by gratefultobe
• Ha ha :) but yeah, I gather eggplant is one of those you dont just pick up and bite into. Its more of a marinade a few hrs. type so I havent tried it yet. Want to. Will. Never had it cooked either so go figure. Oh the smoothie recipe... that sort of…

• This seems to be a common problem w/ kale. I have never had any friendlys in mine tho. I'm wondering how organic mine really is. Uff, no complaints. I'll just believe they got it down to a science at the growers.

  in Raw and working out Comment by gratefultobe
• I'm not sure that's true beany. I have a Jack LL Power Juicer too. I have never noticed a bit of warming to my juice let alone hot enough to be over 115. It seems to finish the job too fast to get the friction heat problem you suggest. I like mine j…

• Dont drink alcohol, coffee, or smoke. All dehydrate and age the skin. All organs for that matter. I'm a big believer that a sunny disposition is a beauty secret we can all afford. I have chosen to skip the soy.

• Thank you but I'm feeling squarely misunderstood every which way I turn lately so...lol who knows hormones? family? ?

• Its so worth it to do what it takes to keep this a positive site. I think we could all try hard to become un-offend-able, so to speak. Most often bad feelings rise from misunderstandings, pure and simple. Then it keeps spiraling in the wrong directi…

  in A vegan diet that is very high in fat cannot be good, right? Comment by gratefultobe
• I agree, I havent counted fat or calories since the beginning of Nov. just stuck to the 'eat what you want as long as it's raw' philosophy. I feel like I am actually in control of my weight for the first time ever. I went from 170 lbs. to 150 and am…

• That's what I do, lauraj. I basically think I eat really well, just fussin' about the 'less healthy' choices I'm also preparing. Not too much sitting down together either but thats another issue. Thanks for the support :)

  in Non-Raw Boyfriend Comment by gratefultobe
• I do feel conflicted about this but I am the one who changed so I wont stop shopping and cooking meat, etc. for the others in my life. I really do wish I could just stop tho. Pretty hypocritical of me to support the factory farms.

  in Non-Raw Boyfriend Comment by gratefultobe
• Hi Carnap, Sorry to be off the subject but isn't it amazing to realize how much of our emotions we have all been stuffing down with cooked foods, alcohol, etc.? It can be startling but once we sort of fight past the urge to 'use' our food as anythin…
