It just surprises me. How can someone not like fruit and almonds? I guess if you're used to eating pie crust made from LARD, anything fresh would taste just foreign to you!
I don't think I'll be participating in any more potlucks at work. They don't like my food and I don't eat their's, so, I'll quietly bring my own and let them enjoy theirs.
Edited to add: I'm learning that eating raw

We had a pie day at work. (I don't know why except to say that this is Minnesota.) I brought a raw pie. Blueberry, Strawberry and Banana Pie. The fruit was half frozen and processed into a sorbet like consistency. The crust was made from almonds, dates, cinnamon, nutmeg and a little fresh squeezed orange juice blended in a food processor.
My coworkers didn't like it. (I don't know why

baltochef,
The question about blender prices was asked openly and sincerely, not slyly. Any mistaken notions about the prices were/are innocent ones and did not require bashing or scolding. It's too bad that you could not give the benefit of the doubt and explain more civily.
Think about it from my point of view. A blender. Yes, it's better quality and yes it lasts longer. No one dis

Yes, the Article was well written, with a lot of time and energy put into it. It's a good Primer for a Beginner.
WY,
I meant to ask you why you consider the article a primer for beginners? What is the information that would make it more advanced?

I haven't but you'll still find conflicting information when it comes to this because there are those who firmly believe that ALL plastic leeches chemicals. There's nothing to be done about it.

Rather than spending beaucoup bucks on a blender AND a juicer, is there a decent machine that does both? I admit upfront that I've not done any research on this, yet. Life is crazy for me right now!

Great thread, EZ rider.
I agree with carsick8 in that it's incredibly disheartening to find out how toxic our environment actually is. Some people may not understand this, but I grieve over what we've done to the planet. I'm not a tree-hugging, save the whales, advocate either. Just look at your situation, EZ rider, you're admirably, 100% raw and still go through occasional detox. That sho

Thank you, mira. I participated in that thread, myself. Unfortunately, it went off topic and the question was never really answered. Not to my satisfaction, anyway.
One person makes a suggestion and then the rest of the thread is debating that suggestion. No one spoke about actually washing their produce.

I don't like the Search feature on this site. Unless I'm a total idiot, I never find what I'm looking for. (Which is okay because I usually find a lot of other really interesting things!)

I agree with you, WY, but when you're new to something, or just looking for other people's experiences, their suggestions can be pretty limiting and not so helpful. "I love it!" is great to hear, but people often have a difficult time putting into words why they love/hate it.
I thought this article was well written with great explanations. (And I'm right there with you on Fords.

The BEST Juicer, Is there one?
by John Kohler
Often times, we are asked, "which is the best juicer?". Choosing a juicer is like a choosing an outfit to wear. If your going swimming, you will wear a bathing suit. If you are going to a formal occasion, you will wear an tuxedo. Choosing a juicer is much the same. You must match the juicer to what you intend to do with the j
