Longtimeraw, I'm kind of with you in the difficuly that he might have faced in being a fruitarian in the winter, I'm sure though that as a vegan, fruit would have been a big part of his diet.
That was soooo interesting Narz, thanks for finding it. So they are going to try to find out what he ate by examining the 400 year old traces left on his notebooks from him eating while he worked. I can

I'm surprised that he would react like that since you have been a vegetarian for so many years, maybe he is equating raw with your Master Cleanse.
I would just do raw and wait for the results, you'll start looking better (younger) soon and people will start noticing, and then he might come around.
For example: I went to a Christmas party last week at my husband's work, I used to work there

You know what this sounds like? It sounds like the drug companies got together at a party and got to drinking and dreamt up a hypothetical "perfect world" for themselves and then someone said "Let's make this pipe dream into law!"
It sounds really terrifying, but it could be the best thing that ever happened, if there was a backlash and it made people really take charge of

As I understand your question, you are contemplating the leap to veganism and are wondering if you will get all your nutrients.
When I made the leap I had similar concerns, after all it is common knowledge that you will DIE if you don't eat lots of protein and calcium from animal sources. Well, I kind of held my breath and took the plunge and watched what happend and I didn't die, in fact my h

I'm thinking that there is probably more overlap in our diets than we realized.
We all get a lot of our calories and fat from avocados, nuts, legumes or seeds.
We all eat some greens (except for strict fruitarians).
We all eat some fruit.
Beyond this, and maybe it is only 25% of our diet, we eat according to our personal preference.

If you are just starting out on raw you will probably go through a stage where you are gassy for a while (I talking like a week to a few weeks). This is actually a good thing, it means that your colon is cleaning out old junk.
My guess is that this may be what is happening to you rather than indigestion.

I so totally agree with the potluck concept. You may have great intentions with trying to serve your guests healthy food, but serving something raw instead of the traditional fare is SO going to backfire on you.

arugula - So 20% greens (by volume I assume) would be a high-greens diet? That's totally doable, I guess when I thought high-greens I was thinking almost nothing but greens.
That was also a fascinating link about rats and lettuce. I'll have to remember that greens will inhibit cholesterol absorption when I eat cholesterol laden foods. It also helps with cholesterol excretion, so a high-greens

Thanks arugula for your highly detailed salad recipe! It seems really tasty!
I'm done with Greens vrs. Fruit
No one LIVES on high-greens. There may be a lot of greens in your diet but it's not your energy source. And if fruit is not your energy source, then all that is left are things like nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, oils and root vegetables. I find fruit more digestable than those.

1. While contemplating the concept of eating the high-greens diet so many swear by, I wondered if there might actually be a season for eating high-greens.
Imagine being an early vegan human and it's spring, there isn't much fruit about, your winter stores (if any) are low, so what is there to eat? Early Greens.
