I’m 25 and I’ve recently moved to Albuquerque, NM from Daytona Beach, FL but I’m originally from Michigan. I’m a Graphic Designer and I like all things creative like dance, theater, art, music, etc. I love to read and spend time with my 3 cats: Pilot, Baron and Jet (my husband is a pilot so they all have airplane names). I’ve never been a vegetarian or vegan but I’ve ALWAYS loved fruits and especially veggies. My grandparents live on a farm so I always had fresh veggies growing up! My favorite food of all time is green beans and I love them raw better than cooked! In fact, I like most veggies better raw anyway :) I’ve always thought that it would be easy for me to be vegetarian but I’ve never tried it. I grew up in the Midwest where meat is one of the only things people eat, especially beef. My husband is a big meat eater as well and it was always easier to cook the same for both of us but I’m not happy with that anymore. Besides, maybe he’ll start eating more raw and be healthier, too! I saw Alissa Cohen on TV talking about eating raw and it sounded like such a great idea. I’ve failed at other eating lifestyles (not diets) but this one I think I could do. I want to be healthy and feel good. I wouldn’t mind losing 30 pounds either :) I don’t want to be a typical overweight American eating CRAP my whole life!
