I like that. That would work.

as a damn Macho I'd like to add:

easy preperation

aprilster,

have you ever had anyone tell you they can't eat raw because it takes too long to prepare?

I've heard that several times and I also scratch my head trying to figure out what they're thinking.

I've heard that, too. I guess it takes longer than opening up a package of god-knows-what or preparing gourmet raw (soaked and dehydrated) recipes.

I don't easily get sick

My skin glows and fairer; looking supple

I feel light (lost a huge amount of weight already)

Less constipated; normalizes my bowel movement

That's a testament to the powers of raw.

I could go on and say so much more about why I love my raw vegan lifestyle, but I'll stick to the 30 reasons

I had to add this: I just love watching videos of inspiring raw vegan people

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Raw vegan for life. Vegan for the animals. Raw for my health.

Ela2013, I wish you would add more.

Your thirty are very good. I especially like 1, 5, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20, 27, 28, 29 and 30...and all the others too!

I like shopping for exotic fruits that no one, even the cashier, knows what they are...even I don't always know.

When hiking, I can eat grasses, alfalfa, etc. right out in a field and I don't have to wait to get home for food.

I love watching videos too and I send the links to my friends. I see myself as a raw crusader. I also really enjoy looking at before and after pics of peeps who have made almost unbelievable transitions.

Wouldn't the world be a much different place if everyone did this?

Thank you, Raw4ever, this is how I feel and I'm so grateful for this amazing lifestyle.

You are right, the world would be so much better if we were all living a compassionate cruelty-free lifestyle, there would be no more violence and blood and we would be all so much more appreciative of the small but beautiful things around us...
But I guess I'm just dreaming...
