RawTruth - yes, I follow the fruitarian/natural hygiene guidelines. I guess when I posted that I forgot that a lot of posters here don't eat raw the way I do :)

lodestar - yes, 20 bananas! But, there's 4 of us drinking it as a meal, so that's 5 bananas each. Also, I have to make it in 2 batches in my vitamix; it wont all fit in one.

Ew, no offense but that green smoothie does not sound good to me ;) I understand that we are all different though and that's what makes life so wonderful. Heck, the thought of green anything in my...

I'd like to add that if you are not used to eating a lot of fruits and veggies, you will probably be pretty uncomfortable the first week or so? Your digestion might be all messed up. But if you can...

I am new to the Pacific NW - when is a good time to start my seeds? I have a limited garden space because we live on an army base, however I do have enough to do something. I plan to grow tomatoes,...

We are only a family of 5 - this includes 3 kids who all eat well over what my husband eats. I am all raw, the kids are mostly raw, and hubby is somewhere in the middle since he eats whatever I...

Yeah, I saw that he'd be there in February, but I didn't plan to go. If I do though, I'll let you know :)

Rose - besides a lot of flax (which is known to cause cramps, bloating, gas, etc), what else are you eating every day? I think it would help everyone if we knew exactly what you are eating.

I suggest combining your food properly and basing your diet on fruit. You can eat all the veggies you want, but they will not fill you up. You need calories. Fruit is very satiating and calorie...

She'll get used to it if you don't give her a choice. Sounds harsh, but very true. Don't beg or try to talk her into eating something though - offer it in a matter-of-fact sort of way and with a...

My husband is not raw, vegan or vegetarian .. but he will eat what I make and then I add more to it just for him. This has kept the peace in our family. Whatever he wants, I make it for him - even...

I also have 3 kids - but they are older (8, 10 and 12). I am 100% raw, but they still have a cooked (gluten free and vegan) meal with hubby every night. So, they are mostly raw. Anyway, my point -...

We have a vitamix - there's 5 in our family. I use it at least 2 to 3 times a day. It makes great 'ice cream' (just blend frozen fruit with 'milk' and sweetener of choice), nut butters and raw...

I'm from Omaha Nebraska originally. The kids and I just went to Marlene's today!
Yes, I saw an address in the phone book for a store called "whole foods" and assumed it was THE whole foods (the big...

Thanks for all the 'welcomes'!
ML - I go to the Trader Joe's in UP once a week - I like it a lot! We just moved here a few months ago, but I found the HFS right away :) I also like Marlene's in...

Hello to all. I've posted twice but thought I'd say hi. My name is Joanne. Been vegan for about 5 years, vegetarian before that for many years (with slip-ups once in a while). Now I'm trying my...

I'm not an expert ... just a mom of 3 kids! I'd say listen to your child's body. It is very natural for animals to 'fast' when they get sick. I know we are not animals ... but not too different,...
