Like I said, I also don't understand how it works. But thankfully, I gave it a try and found out for myself that it does work.

I recommend trying it for yourself. It's not hard, and it's really...

I kind of have my own theories on how oil pulling works. I've noticed it really improves my skin... but I'm not convinced that it's because the oil pulls out toxins. I think it's because the oil is...

OK, the way I see it is this:

Imagine you're a kid running around on a playground back before WWII, when everything was organic. (There was no word for it yet, because there wasn't anything that...

I completely disagree, from my own experience. I don't find cooked foods to be specifically addictive at all. Anytime you suddenly and consciously change your diet, you're setting new habits. In...

What a horrible suggestion to give people. I've eaten a few cooked meals since going raw, yet here I am - still raw. 100% even. In fact, I'm glad I've tried cooked food again since going raw. If...

Most of the people from this thread have moved it over to a different forum. Out of respect for Alissa (as this is her forum after all) I'm not going to post a link or anything. Sorry.

You don't enjoy sunlight? huh... I love it. It's so warm and relaxing. Have you ever noticed how people are kind of tired and lifeless on cloudy days? Or how so many people are depressed in...

I like to pour some on top of a bowl of banana ice cream (pureed frozen bananas). It's like a candy shell topping.

I suppose I could understand taking vitamin C if you cook it out of your foods, but does he really think it's necessary to supplement vitamin C if you eat plenty of raw fruits and veggies? Odd. I...

Hey Monk,

What part of WI are you from? There's a raw meetup group in Milwaukee, if you're interested. http://rawfood.meetup.com/321/

Take care!

Nice! I wish I knew where that stuff is around here. I'm sure it's gotta be all around me, but I wouldn't know it.

dang, you beat me to it with the point about hemlock, RowanC. It's good to know that I remembered it right, though.

Oh yeah, that last post of mine was number 200. I suppose I'm a sprout now. :)...

In Green for Life Victoria Boutenko mentions that carrot greens are more nutritious than the roots. I love to get carrots from the store with their tops still on, and I'll throw the greens into my...

In my opinion, the healthiest thing to do at this point is to forgive yourself and move on. You'll feel bad enough as it is without the added guilt trip. And besides, it seems to me that "lapses"...

Hey cool - somebody else in the area!

Milwaukee has a raw meetup group. I haven't been to it yet, but I'm planning on going to the next one.

So yeah, welcome...

Eating simply does make me feel great. But preparing raw food makes me happy, too. It's win-win!

...and I used to be a pessimist - hah! RAW really does change you.

Anyways, as for the...

wow... that sounds good. Thanks for the ideas, Bobbie. I'm going to have to try that fruit cereal soon - really soon. My mouth is watering.

yipes!

I'm glad not to be a part of that. I'm somewhere around 6' and 125 lbs... yeah, I'm definitely skinny. If anything, I should probably gain a few pounds.

My uncle is obese, and just had...

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned fruit salad yet. I suppose that one's too obvious.

How about making them a nice carrot cake? Or better yet, helping them make a nice carrot cake. Kids can have a lot of fun in the kitchen.

As for what to hand out, how about nuts or seeds, or...

We've got edible flowers in the herb section of the produce departments around here. They're kinda pricey though, so I've never bought them. I suppose that's yet another thing I should learn to...

I thought the same thing, RawCutter. I can't say that I trust them all too much.

Welcome back!

I was just wondering where some of the old regulars went...

Well personally, although I wanted to go raw in the beginning, I never denied myself cooked vegan food if I wanted it. I still haven't denied myself it. This way it's never about willpower - which...

Oh, I can validate this one! I had some store-bought frozen corn that I wanted to use up before I moved. I added some to a smoothie, and :eek: MAN, OH MAN! :eek: I had a hard time finishing it. ...
