I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

Here's the deal. I've been high raw eater and recently took the plunge and began eating 100% raw. I thought I'd experience 100% raw for 90 days or so to see if I noticed any appreciable differences that would result in my remaining a raw vegan. I've been 100% for about three weeks.

Now here I am today reeeeeeeeeeally craving something cooked. I want a cooked vegan dinner sooooooo bad. None of my raw goodies are satisfying me in the same way. I'm reasonably healthy. I definitely need to shed some pounds but was already experiencing weight loss as a vegan. Give me one good reason why I should stick it out on my 100% raw quest. I'm going to print your repsonses and post them where I can see them when I feel myself about to call in an order to my favorite vegan eatery. I'm looking at the menu now....help (signing off as she tightly clutches the menu).

Because YOU are WORTH IT.... You are worth the investment to give yourself the very BEST VIBRANT LIVE foodz available.... remember... stick an apple in the ground - you grow a tree, with more vibrant fruit -- stick something cooked in the ground you get -- mold... !!

Because raw feels better then cooked food tastes!

I have to split my post up in 3 because it's too long.. just got an error message

For me it's a no-brainer. I would rather feel good and have energy all the time then have a quick taste in my mouth of a less then nutritious food I can enjoy for a moment then have to pay for for a long time. I have been on that path for too long and it was not giving me the results I want.

Besides, healthy raw food tastes better once you let go of all the inferior stuff. Your tastes change in time, so long as you don't give in to cravings they pass. I look at my daughter and think how our lives would be if we were sick all the time and either of us ended up dying prematurely of some insane disease like just about everybody does nowadays because of eating dead processed foods. It's just not worth it.

Plus from a spiritual perspective I prefer the stuff God/Nature perfected over mans 'improvements' of stripping out & cooking off all the good stuff for the ability to sell products & make money. I want to be as close as I can to God/Nature and by returning to the original plan for us, the most basic thing is the fuel we are designed to run properly on.
