View Full Version : Is it ok to refer raw-curious people to this forum?

A grocery cashier questioned my food choices yesterday, and when I told her I eat Raw Vegan, she didn't understand. (Some people do, and some don't)

Since there was a line behind me, I didn't feel it appropriate to go on and on about the diet. And, when I just simply said I eat raw fruits, veggies, nuts & seeds (to make it simple), she wanted to know more.

She asked what eating that way had done for me and I told her that I've only done it for just over 2 weeks & the migraines are gone! Also, that my energy is slowly returning and other things that I didn't get into.

I told her that way of eating isn't for everyone. It's more than a diet- it's a lifestyle.

She still seemed interested, so I gave her the web address for the forum and told her she could get some questions answered there.

I would have been more than happy to give a bit more info, but I didn't want to hold up the line, and I don't feel adequately qualified really. (Yet, I'm always willing to discuss it with people that prompt ME to talk about it. I don't generally bring it up as a rule though.)

I just wanted to know...based on the above, if it's okay to send raw-curious people here to check it out for themselves.

She seemed interested for herself, and not just a random curiousity (IMHO).:rolleyes:

Thank you for your assistance.

Well, I can't answer that question so I will leave it to the moderators. I can say that when people seem curious about raw I refer them to www.alissacohen.com I think it's a more informative site that just the boards. If they are still interested, then they'll probably find their way to the forum, anyway. I did! :D

Sure, I don't see why not. However, I like RawkStar's suggesting of sending raw-curious people to alissacohen.com as well. The forum "may" be a bit overwhelming with all the posts and stuff. But Alissa's site gives just enough info.

Thank you...both of you!

I thought of that at first, then I thought that since she had soooo many questions that it might be good for her to browse the forum.

I know you're right though...I'll send an future raw-curious people to her main site.

Thanks so much for your prompt responses!
