• I have a glass of wine here and there, but I agree that it doesn't taste as good anymore (hello banana whips, bye-bye chardonnay!). I also make sure to drink uniced water with it.

• We can't guess what your symptoms are from. I'm sorry......if anyone answers, they can list possible causes, but nothing is for certain/confirmed, esp. over the internet.

• When I say "greens," I mean leafy ones, like spinach, collards, kale, chard.

• I think the hunger is normal in the beginning. Make sure you eat plenty of fruit for breakfast and lunch, even dinner, but then some greens with your dinner. Greens can combine with fruit just fine.

• I saw a funny result of a study once, funny because it was making fun of the protein question that omnivores sometimes ask vegans. The results were on average, omnivores are deficient in 8 vitamins/minerals, while vegans are sometimes deficient in 2…

• I'd say that if drug tests are that sensitive that they can't correctly identify marijuana from hemp, then that's the test-makers' problem, not ours.....we shouldn't have to worry about eating hemp!

• From that link, it sounds like they added THC to the canola and hemp oil: "hemp/canola oil blends containing four different concentrations of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)." ? If you look on some cereal boxes that have hemp in them, they usuall…

• Oh, I'm sorry. THC (forget what it stands for) is what is tested for in drug tests and found if you have used or been around marijuana. I have read poppy seeds may cause a positive THC test but not hemp.

  in So Angry! Comment by superfood2
• No, hemp doesn't have THC in it.

• Bananas have eight amino acids in them, I hear. You want to eat amino acids, not necessarily "protein."

• I think the best site to show how well you're doing (or can do) is Fitday and put in what you're really eating, not what someone else suggests but what you actually do (assuming tracking/counting calories is okay for you).

• Doctors are usually ignorant when it comes to diet, or they don't promote healthy living so they can continue to sell and benefit from sales of prescription drugs, or both. I would laugh in a doctor's face if they gave me diet advice. Really. And th…

• No, not yet, but there's a small health food store that I'm going to find out the answer to that question to. You need to ask for "distributor" or "supplier" or does it matter? THANKS!!! This will help a lot, esp. if I can use my bf's car and get bo…

• I'm doing that for getting produce from now on because I'm paying too much - great idea! I looked into a distributor but they didnt' even have organic bananas (this is Philadelphia, too).

• Okay, just making sure. I always rinse them before peeling because I hear the mangoes are sprayed heavily.

• My pee smells like mango after I eat it.....is that supposed to mean mango is a toxin?

• I like corn and asparagus (and probably other things) better raw, but I don't partake in them often. I'll eat garlic here and there, but in my opinion, it does create an odor in your secretions and can be irritating for some.

• Banana whip with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or mango. Yum.!!! Sometimes pear, too.

• I would make nut butters in a food processor if you have one, not a Vita-Mix, just because of the shape and ease of blending. I have done so in a food processor and if I feel it gets warm, I stop for a bit or place in the fridge and then resume late…

• B12 is best absorbed and taken sublingually by omnivores AND vegans.

  in Honey? Comment by superfood2
• Yeah, I don't necessarily think anyone's trying to be deceptive; they're just ignorant on what "vegan" means, but if they don't know what it means, they shouldn't use the word! Just like some supposedly 100% "raw" places use maple sugar, nutritional…

  in Honey? Comment by superfood2
• Yeah, not all raw foodists are vegan. Unfortunately, some places label items with honey as "vegan," and this is incorrect, but you just can't trust people at their word; if you want to eat vegan and/or honey-free, you just have to ask.

  in Honey? Comment by superfood2
• My experience has been that if you're vegan, the better you'll smell/taste, and raw food is even better (assuming you shower/cleanse). :p

• Confidence might "make" you more attractive (not necessarily to the opposite sex but all sexes).

  in Very Random Questions... Comment by superfood2
• Yes, it's very intense! I guess I figure vegans get questions about protein and other things all the time; maybe we just get tired of people questioning us just to question us, like the person that points to your shoes to make sure they're not leath…

• Yeah, I eat about 3,500 calories. I take a sublingual B12 and get vitamin D from the sun. Otherwise, I get about 40-80 grams of protein a day (I need about 40). I eat anywhere from 10-15 bananas, usually 1-4 cups of blueberries, some mangoes, maybe …
