3. Re: local foods of the fall

I've been enjoying alot of red and even black grapes recently. It's great to have a fruit at the ready that has so much liquid content.

4. Re: Gabriel Cousens talk about low fat/low cholesterol diet dangers

Raw veganism is good for preventing disease but another key to longevity (besides genetics) is regularly fasting.

5. Re: Is the 80-10-10 diet too extreme for most people?

If you think you're going to lose weight from "30 bananas a day" there's a good chance you won't.

6. Re: Difference between whole and broken nuts

I buy almonds from a farmer's market that say "raw unpasteurized" on the label but nowhere does it say if they are organic or not. Considering how hard it is to find raw almonds in the US I suppose I will just have to live with it!

First, what kind of nuts are they? They just have to be unpasteurized hopefully you already know.

9. Re: food on Mars

I think that Mars will be a novelty much like the moon. We will go there once, maybe a handful of times at the most, at enormous cost to everyone, and then forgotten.

12. Hazelnuts

I just found out that trader joe's has a new product: raw OREGON hazelnuts. Yay! Problem is this: the skins are completely stuck to the nuts, absolutely stuck. Will I not be able to soak/activate them because they have their skins?

13. Re: Sprouted legumes anyone?

Lentils (green, regular size, organic) are my favorite. Best size of the tails for me would be 1-2 times the length of the lentil. Mung bean sprouts are very good also but provide less protein. To me eating mung bean sprouts reminds me alot of eating raw corn which i love. Alot of times I will mix lentil sprouts with sunflower seed sprouts.

14. Re: Learning to Love Raw Pasta?

One way to do it is the following: When you're craving something like pasta,think of another cooked grain product that you really do not want, such as puffed wheat cereal or weetabix or crackers or what have you, and then remember that all these cooked wheat products are really basically very similar if you think about it. Then discard the entire group.

15. Re: To stay healthy, eat an onion a day

To get the most benefit from raw onion, should it be eaten immediately after cutting, or should it as I have heard let sit for a half hour to an hour for reasons that have to do with sulforaphane?

16. Re: dah dirty dozen

One workaround is to buy frozen strawberries rather than fresh, since pesticide residues have been found to be much lower. Organic for strawberries is of course always still best.

17. Re: 30 bananas a day sucks

Whatever happened to more modest raw food leaders that could at least be counted on to not actually slip? It's this fruitarian/811 stuff that is so hard to stay with. It's much easier just to be full from sprouts and sprouted nuts and leave the fruits and leafy greens as secondary foods, for a long time, until you're mature enough to handle what it's like to be a long-term raw foodist.
