• Hi! I just found out that in the food stores they throw out fruits and vegetables every day and that I can have it all for free. If I don't take it, it is used to make fuel or someting. This week I got four huge boxes full of fruits and vegetables t…

• "Greenwood, the farmer's market near me isn't good either. It's not organic and they sell bags of fruit by brands like Sunkist in the branded bags. It seems like they buy the produce at the grocery store and sell it for a higher price. Also the prod…

• No, I never even heard of them, sound good though. I like Emma Restell Orr's books- she is a Druid priest and a committed vegan. I think she eats quite a bit of raw as when I met her she was saying raw food fills you up more! She is a great supporte…

• Thanks. I have to be careful with orange juice as I had GERD/gastritis/acid reflux in the past.I know avocados are good for you but I really don't like them. But re hemp seeds- do they taste ok and can one put them in a salad? Also, evening primrose…

• Well Durianrider proves the no glucose spikes. :) But much as I like fruit I do want to eat equal amount of savouries such as vegetables and nuts- I have always had more of a savoury tooth than a sweet one.
