This whole thread sucks, theres nothing healthy or educational about it. Please delete it, thanks again, this is my last post.

See, this is why I'm leaving, i don't want negativity in my life and I don't want to bring it into someone elses.

It's a great site, yes I absolutely got a lot out of it in only a few short days,...

Thanks mongo.

I think I found the mission statement (a sticky post?), I also read allisacohen.com. This site isn't for me. I'm not Allisa's follower. I'm a free thinker that's going to question...

I can't find a mission statement, but I have a general idea of what it would contain anyway I think. I thought this was a raw food forum when I signed up, I'm understanding now that it's more of a...

Does anyone eat raw steak? Obviously not vegan, is it even 'raw' (diet)? Are there risks? I know a lot of people like their steak so rare it's still cold in the middle. Are most raw foodists ethical...

I think the line between safe and not is fuzzy and grey. A food that makes one species healthy will kill another. Lot's of foods are healthy in moderation and harmful at high doses. Even pure water...

I've been getting experemental with smoothies lately. I've made a couple stinkers but generally it's hard to make a bad one.

I just had pineapple/sunflower/avocado/jalapeno, I don't know if it was...

Sauerkraut! Excellent, I planned on eating a lot anyway, supposed to be very good for the digestive system (cleansing). I'm going to try doing it in mason jars, there's a million sauerkraut 'recipes'...

Ha, yeah, sorry. I'll try to think before I type.

Actually, I should check before assuming since I'm not so experienced. Is it possible to use a solar dehydrator in Canada after harvest (Saskatchewan)? We're freezing right now but I'd like to dry a...

I'm a DIY'er, I have a shop with lot's of metal-working and wood-working equipment. I have a huge stack of glass and I cut pieces up as I need them. I never buy ANYTHING without finding out exactly...

I like this site, that was a pretty quick and comprehensive response! Thanks.

Sorry for posting "anti-raw" stuff, I'm just trying to learn. I'm pretty pro-raw, but I still want to hear all the...

I'm looking at buying an excalibur, but I don't like the options for materials. They say polycarbonate is safe, blah blah blah, just like vitamix.

The teflon trays are out of the question, that's...

Does anyone use anything besides tapwater for soaking or rinsing sprouts? My tapwater isn't filtered, lots of chlorine, fluoride, god knows what else.

I've thought of soaking in distilled but it...

Both, I gave up on coconuts after less than half a dozen though. I want to try a few different markets again now. I think it could be just because I had never had a glass of it before.

Is it...

I'm reading a book on diabetes (family members), they have a brief paragraph on cautions for eating raw food.

1) Some carotenes (lycopene and lutein) are better absorbed from cooked foods.

2)...

Here's a great link:

Look up something like, say, swiss chard. Under "amino acids" you notice it has all of them, meaning it's a complete protein....

Wow, thanks. It's going to take some time to try all these recipes, the tabouli sounds good. I just found smoothies so I'm still expirementing with that. I'm having a blast, it's really hard to make...

Yeah, I was wondering about the hulls. I eat green, raw, shelled pumpkin seeds all the time, love them. I was just scooping out an organic pumpkin the other day and I have a pretty big handful of...

I'm not sure about what seeds are good to eat, either for taste or because of some toxin. I've searched for some answers, haven't found much. Are the following good to eat raw? Do any need to be...

Not sure what your budget is (sorry if I missed that), but I just bought a vita-mix for less than I expected. I know someone that paid over $500, they sell for that here. I did my research, found...

I've had a similar feeling after drinking a full glass of coconut water. Because the coconuts where I live are always pretty old I wasn't sure whether I was getting bad ones or whether my body just...

You're pretty far north, I think that's why. At least, that's all I can figure. I'm in the same situation, I'm Canadian, and I don't eat coconuts because I can't find ones that aren't usually moldy...

Thanks for the welcome all.

I'm in 'stoon, I lived in Calgary a couple years ago, nice city. I have my eye on BC though. Theres a co-op and a decent organic market here, but I don't know anything...

I just made this for pre-new years day supper munchies, good stuff.
