• Good point about the fruits--but in this particular recipe I'm more concerned with getting a bunch of raw nutrients in as water is more widely available. Fruit and nut combos have never really been a problem for me but thanks anyway. What kind of re…

• Even biologists acknowlege the importance of vitamins and minerals, dont they? If she doesnt the intelligence has been educated right out of her!

  in Re: Live Enzyme Theory Being Misleading Comment by Lyn_goes_green
• Apparently she misunderstands why raw-foodist think raw food is better. Yes, cooking kills enzymes. Yes, enzymes aid in digestion. But, the biggest problem (in my opinion) is that cooking changes the chemical sstructure of protien and most fats into…

• My mom used to tell a story about why she hated the idea of raw milk. It invovled her friend going to the farm where she got her (raw) milk regulary and the cow stepping in the bucket and them trying to sell it to her anyway. I guess thats where we …

• Sperfood2, where do you get your b12 without animals? Where do the supplement get it? Thanks!

  in Just wondering why is everyone a raw vegan? Comment by Lyn_goes_green
• Thanks! I heard mushrooms exposed to sunlight directly after they've been picked produce b12. Is there any truth to that? Also, If it's produced by friendly bacteria, wouldnt our own intestinal flora do the trick?

  in Just wondering why is everyone a raw vegan? Comment by Lyn_goes_green
• And how do we know any animal products we eat have b12 if the soil has been depleted? Mabey we need to supplement because we messed up the earth so much. Obviously this is just specualtion as I haven t studied b12 in depth. Some more information wou…

  in Just wondering why is everyone a raw vegan? Comment by Lyn_goes_green
• Thanks, superfoods2. I'll look into the B12 content--because if they didnt contain it I probably wouldnt eat them anyway.

• Oh, and I havent had my levels checked--as because of my age I dont have as much choice in ordering routine procedures.

• Hey, superfood2. I dont know exactly what she feeds her chickens, but I know she makes it herself. And I'm not AGAINST supplementation, per se, just think its better to get your necessary nutrients from food--unless, like I said, you are undoing pas…

• I dont believe in supporting a flawed system (the modern "farming" system) so I am mostly vegan--and raw for health reasons. However, my friends raise chickens (freerange, organic, and the like) so I'll have a raw egg yolk once in a while to keep my…

• BushCrazyRaw makes a good point, we can determine what will suit our bodies best--and while there are universal principles that make for good nutrition (raw, plenty of fruits and veggies), we need to leave room for biodiversity. While some bodies ca…

• kurite: mercola.com may give you some info on raw meat As for the "what humans were meant to eat issue": I think the idea of dairy is ridiculous, eggs make a good deal of sense, and meat is arguable--although I personally dont like the idea of a sen…

• You dont have to give up! I've had times when I've given into my vices(sweet granola and chocolate) that were somewhat healthy but not raw. Accept it as part of the transition--more and more you'll start to lose interest in cooked foods. And if you'…

• Thanks for the advice, but Im afraid you may misunderstand me: Im not worried about people looking down on me(in fact, theyd probably see me better if i ate the SAD) Im worried about falling back into old, destructive habits.

• I totally feel you! I'm just out of HIGH SCHOOL(raw for most of it) and that's not even easy for SAD eaters. Plus, I'm the only vegan in my family(except an obscure aunt...) so it gets hard, but it worthit. If you spend A LOT a time with a person or…

• I'm 100% raw (besides green tea), but not 100% vegan. That's right--2 raw egg yolk every morning. This way I get all the animal-based nutrients I could ever need, and still stay raw. If you think about it, its really the same as eating eggs over eas…
