For me the quieter I was, yet very steadfast in how I ate raw, the more curious he was. Then, when he asked what I was eating, I'd quietly pour him my green drink, or put a small amount of whatever it was on a plate. He noticed my mood change, my weight fall off, etc. and there was just something different about me. He slowly began to accept, and then welcome raw foods. He's not 100% raw by any means, but he's very willing to try new things and learn more about raw foods. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!

Tanya,
If your husband is not open to eating all raw just start out with making more salads for dinner, smoothies for desserts and breakfasts. After you are raw for a week he'll see the change in you and maybe desire to at least eat some raw!
Whether it's our husband, sister, best friend, it is hard to get anyone to eat raw if they dont' want to. It took my dear friend about 2 years of seeing me before she would try it.

Tanya, I too just put some of the raw foods on my husbands plate to try and he just about always really likes them. He likes to eat healthy but he is not/does not/want not to go all raw.
I agree with the others to just keep on doing it (raw). Good things come to those who wait.
Blessings

Exactly. All I can be is an example to Chris. One day last week, he came to me quietly & said "Please put me on a "diet". I really hate that word diet, but he's someone that has never had to be on one before so he doesnt understand the difference, disection, overanalyzing, etc that comes with some ppl & that word.
I'm taking baby steps with him. eeling like I'm feeding a 12 year old, he wont even LOOK at something that is green let alone stick it in his mouth.

I am a firm believer in living it and those interested will come to you. I've always reacted a bit poorly to people trying to push their beliefs on me. I enjoy a good discussion but when it comes to preaching, it just doesnt work unless I'm ready to hear it.
