Isn't it bizarre that people are so concerned about your wellbeing if you eat lots of fruits and vegetables, but don't question you at all if you eat lots of pizza, burgers, and candy? What kind of...

Yeah, Elizabeth, you're totally right. Is the mess worth $100 or so to you? Since we got ours "free" (for us) it's been great, but I don't know if we'd buy it ourselves... Well, we were buying...

Yes, I know what you mean. If I'm going to get electric appliances, I like to get ones that can do more than one thing. I'm not RAW, I eat raw, but not solely, and the Soyabella makes lentil and...

Oh, I'm totally getting kale when I go to the market. We could use some of those around here.

well, you can get a nut milk maker, but you'd have to be able to spend a lot of money (mine was $150, but I got it as a Christmas gift from my parents). There's no mess at all - we don't even need to...

if you have a whole foods nearby, they carry it.

I have the round kind of dehydrator, too. I think you probably did slice it too thin - sometimes my thinner ones get stuck. Also, they should be very well drenched in the marinade - I mean, I do...

laura, that's so marvelous! I think you can do it. Just remember that it's only a week (when fasting from TV) - when you feel tempted, just tell yourself that it's only a week, a week to find new...

Laura - sounds like you like savoury, salty foods, so replacing with smoothies or fruit probably won't work. At least, it never works for me - I love those types of food and fruit rarely cuts it....

Lifeagift - I loved your post about your conversation with your mom! I know those sorts of conversations well... I also loved what you said about dancing and buying shoes - yes, yes - we need to...

My advice is not to buy a juicer first but a blender (unless you really like carrot juice). Juicing removes the fiber of the fruits and vegetables but blending doesn't. It can also take a lot of...

mm... I make mine with almond milk. I love them! My husband likes them, too. They don't get foamy, either. Hooray!

kyle,
i worked in a preschool last year, and we made the kids "Friendship salad" which is marshmallows, oranges, bananas and apples. There's one kid who mostly eats sugary cereal and chips at home,...

Springtime, I didn't like them that much for awhile, but I decided to give them a go again this week. I used homemade almond milk instead of water + 1 handful spinach + 1 apple + 1 banana. It was...

Jewels, you could probably get food stamps for awhile. It's not that hard, apparently - my friend works part-time and was going to school, and she's on foodstamps - Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both...

The Soyabella is great! So great! I love it. It makes almond milk in just about 40 seconds and is super easy to clean up. No pulp in the milk and you can even throw figs in the grinder cup to...

mmm... i bet if you put some cocoa powder or cocoa nibs in that it would taste a bit like halvah.

I let them get pretty crisp, though they will get crisper as they cool, so be aware of that. I like them crisp on a sandwich - we call them EBLTs (eggplant bacon, lettuce and tomato), but if you're...

Oh, and I think the figs/almond/agave nectar combination tastes really good - I drink it straight which I don't usually do with nut or soy milk whether it's homemade or store-bought. I tried putting...

berry, I got the Soyabella for Christmas and it's great. Apparently one of the best out there. It makes nut milk without heat, but is a lot easier to clean up than using the blender and a nut milk...

There is ashtanga yoga, which I think is sort of a "power yoga" and strengthens and raises the heart rate. I tried it and it was good, but tiring! Definitely more cardiovascular than other forms of...

There is a great blog from a vegan mom at veganlunchbox.blogspot.com. She is not raw, but she does care about her son eating healthy, vegan food, even at school, and has some great ideas and...

No idea about Trader Joe's method, but I have heard that freezing food breaks down some of they enzymes and lessens the value of its vitamins and minerals. I don't know if this is true, and i was...

I'm not a specialist... but I don't know, I mean, it's water. Water is good for you, it's necessary. I feel like it can be so easy to obsess about one's raw diet to a point that is unhealthy for the...

Well, she could of course choose salads, but I don't know how old she is - some kids have a hard time with the textures and flavors in salads. As for SAD food - I would think a vegetarian sandwich or...
