I wish there were more Raw food magazines

Rate this Entry
I really wish there were more Raw food magazines. Yes, I know there are a few, but you have to order them online, and they still aren't in the stores. It's something that really, really bugs me, as I love to read magazines, much more than books.

I look at the magazines in the stores and they all have SAD food recipes. It turns me off, so I have stopped buying many of my once upon a time favorites. It's hard enough to be a beginner at Raw Foods, than to have it in every magazine sold on the market. Yes, I know we are a minority. I still buy my beloved craft magazines, but not Hobby Farm, which I loved, because it has SAD recipes, cheese making etc. How sad, SAD???

I had a crazy thought, I wonder if I could come up with a magazine? Or at least a really cool Newsletter. I enjoy writing, my Mom was an unknown writer, she wrote a beautiful novel, which she never published. I have the novel in her pretty handwriting, which someday I hope to type up in my computer, print out and send to a publisher. I believe she would be proud. Of course I want to publish it in her name.

Mom passed away in Sept 2006, and I miss her so much. I still wish I could call her and talk with her about our day, together.

Anyway that maybe an impossible dream, my own magazine, but who knows, I never thought I'd be a nurse, and I am, never thought I would be a Raw Foodist and this is coming true. So who knows, maybe this isn't such an impossible dream?!

I'm still in my PJ's, I work tonight, so it kinda feels good, to still be lounging around, drinking my green smoothie. Tomorrow I'll be sleeping my day away, but I do have four days off, so it isn't so bad. Next week I work 5- 12 hour days, so I usually try to really enjoy my four days off. Me and my dehydrator and blender will have a good time, I hope.

Well, no more lounging, I have to get dressed to feed the chickens. I tried to feed my outdoor dog and kitty, but the chickens tried to get to the dogs food dish, so I guess they are really hungry! Well, my chickens are always hungry!

    I would love some more raw magazines as well. Maybe some that publish more frequently than 4 times a year. You may be on to something here......

    You gals are the greatest!! I really would like to give this a try. I think I'll be busy on my four days off, researching this idea. Besides uncooking.

    Amberstorm, I live in Dickson, TN, about 30 miles west of Nashville, TN. I love Tennessee! Johnson City is near the mountains, right? Pretty there.

    Justine, I know what you mean, I would love a raw foods magazine each and every month, not just four times a year.

    Starfire, thank you so much for the encouragment!

    Yep - I am in the BEAUTIFUL blue ridge Appalachians! I'm just under 2 hours from Asheville, NC, and about a 5 and a half hour trip from Nashville. I keep hoping to find other rawbies or even cooked Vegans who are raw friendly out here, and yet it seems that they are less than a handful in number. **sigh**
