• How creative!...and I'm pretty sure wirlybirds are shed by the maple tree (used to live in upper U.S. where there are lots), so you could use them, but they really dont resemble maple syrup at all. I'd go with stevia leaves and the bark: that way yo…

• Fat is not all bad, the problem is that peanuts are ALL Omega 6's And raw peanuts(not nut, actually beans) have a great potential for contamination.

• Interesting, keewi, thanks for the response--particularly the info on fruit. I probablyt wont do 80/10/10 completley but I certainly wont be as wary of fruit. Another thing to consider though is biodiversity. While certain nutrition principle are un…

• ohh one more thing, we dont want to mess with our insulin levels too much as that can cause premature aging and diabetes, what is your view on how this diet affects those factors?

• Hmmm...interesting. I think that a lot of what we mistake for carbs is actually protien (spinach, broccoli, kale) at least a high percentage--and there's no doubt that those foods are good. Plus we need our essensial fatty acids....I'm not trying to…

• I'm soooo confused about salt! Would we get it in nature? Does it have necessary functions in the human body!? Help!

• Soy is a high allergy food, and contrary to popular beleif, not very healthy. It's quite complex, so here's a link: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/04/why-soy-is-not-the-health-food-you-think-it-is.aspx

• You all were so right! I cried through most of Earthlings--a must-see! (you can find it on google videos) Another motivation is how beautiful raw food makes you...just look at the avatars on here! And, check out thegardendiet.com. Jinjee (41) lost a…

• geniusrawmodel23 (love the user btw, not afraid to toot your own horn, huh?;) ): soy products should be eaten raw but not unprocessed--they need the fermentation process to alter the estrogen-like chemical that can cause problems similar to the grow…

• Wheatgrass is also EXCELLENT. Humans could live on it alone for there entire life--it has ALL necessary nutrients and is 70% chlorrophyl. Spinach and broccoli by weight have twice the protein of steak and their jucies have the same protien ratio fou…

• I have tea (herbal or green) on a regular basis--it's not raw, but it doesnt make me crave anything bad and its got antioxidants so I figure its okay. As a treat, I'll have vegan brown rice sushi--but I try to limit that, I have made sushi my offici…

• I agree with cuddles in many respects. Many eastern philosophies hold truths that we can see in the here and now, however my position on the afterlife is agnostic.

• You could say I believe in God, but not in the way, say, Christians and Muslims do. I mean who really knows? And he's (why'd we even start refering to dieties as "he" anyway) certainly not out to punish us or ban us from sex. When you look at life s…
