• I'm sorry, sweet; I know how it can feel to be emotionally abandoned into rigid, cold patterns by parents. It is terrible that your mother doesn't give you anything--particularly emotionally. She is insensitive and cold, and it certainly is her faul…

• There is apparently a waver you can sign to get out of buying a health insurance plan; millions of people will either do that, or simply not buy health insurance because they have no money. It will leave millions of people out, and millions of peopl…

• Maybe you should start more slowly, add in one-two raw food meals per day until you get used to it, and slowly make the cooked food that you do eat healthier.

• There are dwarf, indoor avocado trees (they won't grow outside year round in your zone) that you could grow in the midwest, available from various nurseries.

• I agree with you - it is discouraging to see this. It has nothing to do with what they eat, when the point is that they post about and especially argue about it here, posting links to anti-vegetarian articles and asking leading questions about why a…

• I eat breakfast two hours after waking up, lunch three hours after that, dinner three hours after lunch. So, it's usually like 4pm, after that I just drink water.

• That is interesting about orgone.

• Well, that all sounds good--I've used square foot gardening myself with success. I live in upcountry Hawaii, where I have a really big, diverse garden. I've been growing groundcherries for a few years now, and I'm glad you'll try them out--everyone …

• Well, I'm a gardener, but I'm not sure what I can say about the amounts because I don't try to preserve what I grow--it sounds like you will have a lot but I don't know if it is really too much or not, as my garden is year-round. I do wonder if you …

• Frederic P. has alot of the typical prejudices of 80/10/10 fanatics--they think that only professional athletes are healthy, and insult people who are not tan or body builders; as apparently no one else is allowed to have a different concept of beau…

  in Why I'm So Mad At The Raw Food Movement Today - an interesting article. Thoughts? Comment by threnody
• The thread imagines if everyone went vegan, not neccessarily raw vegan. However, yes, actually, the land is so much more productive for grains than for animals, and for fruits/vegetables than for grains, that it is more than possible. I think it wou…

• You can just have your normal hemp milk twice a week, and the rest of the days eat no overt fats and you'll have the right percentages.

  in 801010 plunge Comment by threnody
• There definitely is a healthy middle ground. Further, it is possible to eat a low fat raw vegan diet that includes juices, recipes, salt, spices, herbs, dark greens, and no overeating or unhealthy hyper-athleticism. It can be really good without the…

  in High Fat vs High Sugar/Nuts vs Fruitarianism Comment by threnody
• Well, I've tried high-fat raw vegan diets, and found they totally don't work for me--I need to keep fats down to 10% or so to feel good and function well. However, thankfully, I feel free to do what I want beyond the 'low fat' principal and am not a…

• I personally have become very sensitive, even though I don't live in a city and am able to control my rather clean surroundings. People can and do, of course, become chemically sensitive without raw foods--and in fact I would say the junk food proba…

  in Can you get too clean and too sensitive? Comment by threnody
• I agree with superfood--fasting is pretty dangerous for people like us who have histories of eating disorders--fasting after/because you've eaten cooked food is more likely to lead to more cooked food, more binges. Why not start your raw life with a…

  in Going back to raw, and I NEED your support Comment by threnody
• I'd like to be in--I'm very nearly 80/10/10...But I teeter on my plan sometimes. I try to eat only day of only fruit and greens, followed by a day with one meal of salad with a little bit of fat, but then I get into a rut of having the salad every d…

• I'm a gay raw vegan boy. I guess I might have met other raw GLBT people in person, but no dating material for me.

• Misseyme, I don't know exactly why I've become more sensitive, but it seemed to be accompanied by positive shifts for me, so I hope it doesn't indicate a serious health condition. It is so terrible, the games people will play, to 'test you' or assum…

  in Chemical Sensitivity Comment by threnody
• That is terrible about sulfites - I'm very glad that the things I react to have no way of ending up inside my food, though it is bad enough how chemicalized the human world is. It is good that you don't live in Hawaii, as the volcano here is periodi…

• Yeah, once a long long time ago I desperately broke a watermelon fast with spicy cooked tomato sauce and peanut butter - it was absolutely terrible. Melons are pretty intense either way, but it is good you feel better.

  in Melon island gone wrong? Comment by threnody
• I suggest you don't try anything like that again - it is very, very destructive to your body to go back and forth between only melons / no fat and eating tons of cooked food, and I don't think you come out of it any more 'cleansed' then the week bef…

• I, too, have skin cancer in the family, and my body is adapted to northern, low-sun intensity regions where I don't currently live, so I use sunscreen daily. I don't wear shorts or short sleeves outside, so it is just my face, neck, and hands. I use…

  in Raw food...no sunscreen? Comment by threnody
• I grew up in a vegetarian family, and was never vaccinated. I'm very glad for it, and even if it means never traveling internationally, I'm not going to inject myself with that garbage now.

  in Do you Vaccinate your vegan kids? Comment by threnody
• Yeah, it looks like I'm going to stay on thin blended foods for awhile; and I might get some probiotics, but for now I've made two batches of fermented veggiekraut that will be ready this week; I might get some methylcobalimin too, in case that was …
