With all due respect to raw vegans, let's be realistic... that some people just do not thrive being 100% raw vegan. And just because people are not 'allowed' to talk about it on this board does not make that fact go away. I think it is amazing that people can be 100% raw for any amount of time! I can go a few months at a time being 100%...but then I just have to have something cooked, and when I eat cooked, Its basically steamed veggies or baked potatoes, sweet potatoes; very healthy cooked foods... I don't think I'd ever go back to eating pastas or breads, or fast foods because those things are really detrimental to my health anyways. When you think of it, most people on this earth do not even care about eating veggies, raw or not... hence all the disease on this earth. I think any little thing you can do to make improvements in your diet are amazing... hey, we aren't all perfect here, and I'll be the first to admit it.

I got my head bitten off here once for mentioning that I ate air-popped popcorn; sheesh... that is a bit extreme dontcha think?
