The hot peppers is a fascinating subject for me. Some time ago I did some searches because I wanted to find out why people eat them. I don't have the links anymore (though I could dig for them), but my conclusions were:
- only mammals find capsaicin hot, while birds not. Hence the hypothesis that the pepers' "intention" is to repel mammals and atract birds.
- any mammal apart from hum

I agree with all the pro-fruit posts on this thread.
Just a suggestion for transition: I found some nice recipes that try to replace cooked grains:
- raw sushi
-"rawvioli"
They are really delicious, but unfortunately they need some time to prepare.
An easier recipe is "curry rice" that I once read on Alissa's forum:
- the rice is some starchy veggie (parsnip, turn

Ever since I first read this idea I've been thinking a lot about it. My musings so far:
- I think it is a good criterium for choosing staples - stuff that is the basis of the diet
- however, I don't exactly understand why we should limit certain foods just because we can only enjoy them in small amounts. Certain spices that have to be mixed in food to be enjoyed are questionable, but there are

Basia,
The guy interviewed is Guy-Claude Burger - a genius in my opinion. It seems he is in prison right now, accused of pedophilism (after unsuccesful atempts to accuse him of unauthorized practice of medicine). I didn't manage to get to the bottom of the story, but I have a strong suspicion it is all a big lie. Anyway, his thinking in the field of nutrition is invaluable, an eye-opener.

It depends a bit on what kind of diet you have. I don't think you'll be able to find much in restaurants, etc, but if you are happy with simple fruits and veggies you'll find plenty in universal or specialised shops (+ markets). It's an easy month to be raw in Europe IMO.

Horsea,
You wrote >>>Can you imagine the destruction of the environment necessary to provide tropical-style interior temperatures for hundreds of millions of humans living in the 4-season climate?>>>
I don't quite understand what you mean. As far as I know, this heating is already going on - at least in Europe and USA. Out of 24 hours, how much time does an average person fr

Horsea,
>>>So, somebody here please tell me just why you are so insistent that there is something amiss because you have not yet reached the 100% raw state. Because I just don't get it.>>>
This is a very important question that I pondered also. My thoughts:
1- let's say you are relatively happy with a 70% raw diet. This means lots of raw food, much more than the average p

Hi VeganRon,
We had a somewhat similar experience moving to Belize. The staples here are rice+beans and some chicken. However, we don't feel pressured at all and managed to find our way. We bought some land and are now planning an incredible fruit orchard...
If you seriously consider relocating just tell me...

11. Re: One year raw
Congrats!
Could you share your detailed diet (maybe a day example)?
How long was the transition time before this year?

If I may voice my opinion:
There are 2 different points that get constantly mixed up in raw/cooked discussions:
1- the ability of humans as a species to live entirely on raw food
2- the ability of particular human individuals to adopt a raw food diet for various periods of time
IMO (after reading tons of testimonials) it is very hard and even impossible for real, concrete individuals to ado
