new here, but not to raw

[trrish]

hi everyone,

I ordered Alissa's book and DVD a month or so ago. So far, her book is my favorite. I've been in the raw community off and on for years - nearly 25 - 30. Ever since reading Dick Gregory's book "Cookin' With Mother Nature".

I confess I am wary of raw bulletin boards and lists. There are some really extreme people out here and I don't do well dealing with it at times. I've browsed this board and it seems pretty cool.

One of the things I love about Alissa is that she is not extreme. She gets that many of us need to still feel kind of mainstream. I like that. I have gone off the deep end several times with going raw and don't want to do that again. A life of blended salads is not for me (nothing against those that it works for).

Hello and welcome,

You will find all walks of raw here. People come here, I believe for the comaradedry mostly, but there are so many different ways people eat and there is quite a lot of acceptance of that for the most part.

Would love to hear your background with so many years of raw behind you. I've been on and off for about 5 years myself.

Greetings and Welcome. Your Search is Over, You made it to the right place. A few Blended Salads but for the most part there are foods that would make the Cornel say "I wants RAW'" Hope you enjoy your time here, remember the ball is in your court.............

Oh Boy are you gonna love it here!

Info, inspiration, compassion, kinship to the journey, laughter and an anchor in the storm.

How many places can you say that about?

Wlcome although I am hardly anything but a NOOBIE myself but everyone here has made me feel very welcome :)

Stay and give RAW an honest chance and you won't be disappointed

I'm not much of a salad person myself, either.

Fruits, nuts, and seeds FTW
