• Have any of you ever used radish tops? Either in a green smoothie or a salad. I had the same question on beet tops when I first started out and I ran across a thread where someone was wishing she could find beets w/ their tops attached so I tried em…

• OMG I just checked out the lotus sanitizing system freepam uses. Very cool. Anyone looking to go 'greener' look this over. Now how long to hold out splurging on this worthwhile item? I love that its for food and cleaning the house, etc. Thanks!

• Heck no, that seems about average for a raw foodie. And it's nothin compared to the people on the street eating at Mc D's or grabbing a bag of chips for lunch. Good for you and good raw choices!

• Very nicely said achin. The only reason I have embraced this lifestyle is because I have never felt better. Calmer, happier with life in general. Now off to a Holiday dinner party where the real food is not as easy to find as at home. lol baby steps…
