  • Me too, I would donate; monthly or yearly. I love perusing each new recipe when it’s posted, especially if the photo looks yummy. I’m not buying any more un-cookbooks until I’ve tried all the 5,000 recipes here. When I was on the Global Juice Feast …
  • My reasons are mostly 1) and 5). There is an Indian Food restaurant which makes a dish (eggplant hashmet) that I just love, and every once in a long while I go there and order it. It comes with cooked rice pulao, but the eggplant is steamed and the …
  • This is not exactly relating to raw foods, but it does have some relation to eating and our spiritual development: in replying to others on eating disorders, I used some quotes from Maria Montessori, a medical doctor and originator of the ‘Montessor…
  • One more thing: when you’ve been thrown off-course it is possible to get back on-course (with much effort) by 1) intentionally seeking to engage in practical activities (in place of those about which you can do nothing, and which are usually in the …

  • Oh, my goodness. This was really punishing! It is such a phenomena, however, that everyone who suffers from bulimia arrives at this same conclusion: that if they upchuck their food they will achieve some kind of satisfactory mental/emotional state. …

  • Lovingraw, after eating (to excess) something you really liked, did you feel guilt for having allowed yourself to indulge in that pleasure? Did you deny yourself other pleasures as well, or only with food?
