    Default Hello Everyone

    Hi there,

    Happy to be here! I'm a 58 year old female from Atlanta Georgia. I'm a long-time vegetarian and have gone 99% vegan. Started to do some raw food and love the vibrant flavors. We finally invested in a spiralizer and a dehdydrator.

    I find my tastes have changed and I no longer crave any processed products or stuff like bread. I'll admit to a little bit of a sweet tooth still and that's where the cocoa coconut balls come in (shredded coconut, cocoa, coconut oil, agave, vanilla, and some chia seeds---put in the freezer to firm up).

    On Sunday I lost my young coconut virginity (thanks to a farmer's market that opened one up for me and gave me the meat) and used it for a raw chocolate pudding with cocoa.

    I help organize some vegan/vegetarian Meetup groups and am trying to introduce them to raw foods. Some of them may be vegetarian/vegan, but still very unhealthy eaters (like how some college kids are vegetarians but live on French fries and pizza).

    Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your healthy new lifestyle!
    I'd rather eat vegan and look like a tree than eat cow and look like a pig.

    Welcome! We have a great vegetarian/vegan meetup here too. Some are raw. The raw food meetup we used to have fizzled. You do a great service by helping with them!
