I think you are missing my point. I believe people have the right to chose a diet that is perhaps not totally optimal, if that's what allow them to keep their integrity of mind. But please, don't go...

I wasn't addressing anyone in particular, Green Woman.

But I think many people chose to be vegan by compassion for the animals or care for the environment, what is very respectable. I don't have...

Well, I just listened to Nison's interview on Rhio and Leigh's show and I must say I find much of what he says totally sensible. Nison may not be a rocket scientist, but he shows quite a reasonable...

oxalic acid.

That's for the spinach for sure. Spinach is good for you but you should always alternate with other greens, as it is so rich in oxalic acid.

For the sunflower greens, I don't know,...

Hi Veganforlife,

Your success story and physical transformation are really amazing. Congratulations!

I am preparing myself to have a doctor shaking his head at me in the near future. I've been...

Hi there,
I am a 46 ys old female and I suffer from alopecia androgenetica since my twenties. This is a different kind of affair and not any better than the areata - but that's only to say that I've...

Not much merit, actually. I grew up in Belgium with a French mom who was - and still is - a darn good cook. We always had excellent meals at home, the classical french cuisine way, and also a good...

Ouh là là the Mango Pie !!!
This thread is full packed with ideas and inspiration. Merci Renee :)

Let me disagree. Energy issues and climate change are a brutal reality and we may be forced to face a very grim future due to our own carelessness.

And the footprint is everywhere because our...

Please don't speak as you love me... Act as you love me

Learning to compromise. Yesterday went grocery shopping and I choosed the mango that came on a boat over the mango that came on a plane....

hum hum... Helllo again !

I'm sorry I may have overreacted in my previous post.



Yep, exactly. That's not even that I belong to the 'them' (never was on SAD) nor the 'Us' (not 100% raw...

Sorry I stumbled across this, because it really disturbs me as a hatred, generalising, close to racist statement.

Being on a raw diet (or any type or diet or religion or practice for that matter)...

Whoaw. Blasting comparison !

Interestingly enough... I am involved in the management of a EU campaign about climate change and Moby was the first of participating artists. Quite upfront he made...

Hem... The natural way of wilting for carrots is to go a bit brown, tender and wrinkly. But slimy ? yukkkk ! Never in a natural way !!

This happened to me once with 'organic' carrots bought at a...

So, I am more or less 4 weeks high raw and quite convinced with the health benefits and enthusiastic with the spirit. Alas, I also have a BIG moral problem...

Cashews, avocados, bananas,...

Last week-end I had some social dining out and went off the wagon... One of the biggest difficulties was dinner at my parent's. If I were to tell the truth to my Mom the poor lady wouldn't sleep with...

Hi Cabbage, congrats on your 3 years' raw-food success !
I am actually in the 'experiment phase' and I hope it will end up just like it did for you !
All the testimonies from raw-foodists are so...

Thanks a lot Laura-Jane for your long message, I really appreciate it (and don't mind a good piece of reading ;-)

For me going 80% raw is already a huge improvement. My diet was never horribly bad...

Yes, the China Report seems like an interesting reading. But maybe a little tough as english is not my first language :o I am not so much concerned with proteins than with B12, actually...

PS :...

All right ! Thanks for the swift reply. Animal products will remain undisclosed ;)

I 'll keep on reading all the resourceful information here, and eat my greens !

Grapes are notoriously rich in sugar, that is prone to fermentation (hey, how do you think they make wine ;-)
It may be a case of fermentation in the digestive tract. Don't eat massive amounts !

Hi all dear raw foodists,

I am pretty new to this thing... I stumbled across the terms 'raw food' in another forum where we discuss a condition that I have and is called vitreous degeneration...
