Hi guys,
sorry I skipped a year in reporting back. 8 years still raw and healthy.
Got to say, I am still carrying on the same as my last post:
Eating lots salads, leafy greens, root veggies, tomatoes, peppers, and more. Fruit smoothees for breakfast. Eating nuts, Fruits and more.
Hope you are all well.
Thanks!

92. 6 Years raw
Hi again!
Thought I'd just pop in for my yearly post. Even though I don't read or post to this forum very much any more I said I would post yearly updates as long as I am raw. Anyway, I have been raw 6 years (since June 1st 2005), and still 100% raw. Things are pretty much the same as the last time I updated. I don't think I've encountered any long term "side effects" of bring ra

Raw Oats groats:
All store bought Oats will be denatured. Raw oats have a very short shelf life. Oats sold in stores are heat treated so they so they will have a reasonable shelf life. As somebody else suggested, try and sprout them if in doubt, the "raw oats" I have bought over the internet have always sprouted.
Cheers!

I probably use more salt than most raw vegans. I bulk by it 10lbs at a time. I use it mainly for curing olives and fermenting veggies. I cured 40-50lbs of olives this winter, probably using the same weight in salt, fortunately I toss most of the salt out once it's taken the bitterness out of the olives.
For meals, I use only what I need to get the dish to taste right, When I started eating

96. 4 years raw
Hi guys,
I'm still raw, 4 years on.
It still rocks. It's such a part of my life I barely notice it now.
I think the only 'new' raw food skill I picked up in the last year has been curing olives (fantastic).
I've also noticed a large increase in pre-packaged raw vegan food - I love trying new raw vegan commercial food (as long as I can afford it).
I hope you are all doing well. I

97. Re: Raw Camping!
Hi,
sea weed, dried is very lightweight and tasty. I've also dehydrated onion slices and used them later, either re-hydrating them with a salad or just eat them crunchy.
Sprouts are another option, using a jar or sack cloth bag, carry some seeds and plant some new sprouts each day.
Cheers,
Ian.

98. 3 years raw
Hi,
I thought I'd pop in a say "hi". I'm still raw vegan and loving it
(even if I don't hang out here any more). Today it kind of my
anniversary of going raw (the last cook food I ate was a doughnut
3 years ago)!
I hope you are all doing well and eating good food.
Take care!

1 medium persimmoned
1 pecan lara bar
2 cup of orange juice
Blend!
Drink!
The first few tasted like orange cream smoothies. The last one reminded me of egg nogg, but I'm not had egg nogg more than a couple of time and even that was a long time ago.
Cheers!

Do it old skool.
Take two large bowls, one a little smaller so it fits inside
the other. Place ice and some water in the larger bowl, add salt
to the ice water, place your ice cream mix in the small bowl and
put that in the bowl containing ice/water/salt mix. Constantly
stir the ice cream mixture until it start to thicken and freeze
(you want to stir so air will be trapped in the mixtur

Hi Daisy,
I've had a little over a year. The temp control is a bit of pain, but I've found this to be the case all dehydrators I've played with (never trust the dial, the same model can be different from dehydrator to dehydrator). I use a thermonitor to calibrate the dehydrator's temp control and make sure I'm using it in the temp range I want to use - even on my cheap used old dehydrator I

I have this one:
After seeing the Excaliber dehydrator, I'm glad I went with the Sausage Maker one, even if it cost a little more.
Any plastic will break down from the heat, off gas and become brittle over time. I want to eat the food, not the dehydrator!

Beer is cooked, not for the reason David states (although sterilization is important), but for a starch/sugar convertion from the grains that requires heat. There is a really old beer (or pre-beer drink, 1000s of years ago) that is raw, but I don't remember it's name. Booze has been around a lot longer that we've know about sterile environments.

106. Two years raw!
Well, one year later. Nothing has changed as far as my diet goes.
My weight has dropped to 175lbs (slow moves between 168lbs-182lbs depending on what I'm doing/eating).
Still, tomorrow I have no plans to eat raw food or "stay 100% raw", but I have a feeling I will.
Live is pretty damn fantastic!
Cheers,
Ian.

I'll bump up my "I've been raw one year" thread, since nothing has really changed as far as my diet goes.

108. Two years raw
Almost exactly two years (to the minute), I was eating a donut, I had a no idea when eating it that it would be the last cooked food I would eat.
Two years, YAY!
Hope you're all doing well. I don't really hang out on this website any more, but figured you might like to know I'm still raw and loving it.
Take care!
Love,

109. Re: Raw Oatmeal....
Try and sprout your oats first, if they sprout they are raw (they are easy to sprout).
If the don't sprout, they are not raw. I get the feeling that your "organic oat groats" are not really raw (unless they specifically say they are raw).

San Francisco/Bay Area does not suck if you are raw. I've lost count of the number of raw restaraunts in the area. There are at least 5 in SF, and many more in the surrounding Cities. Also lots of raw business in the area.
On the down side it's kind of pricey living here.

Mercury (and many of the other things mensioned) is naturally occurring on this planet. Our problem is the lack of understanding we had when we first found it. Now we know better, but... it doesn't make the pollution go a way.
Thanks for posting your facts.

Depends on what you like (also what flavours you are putting
it on - you don't want to drown out things you like to taste).
I normally use two or three biggish garlic cloves. A chunk of
ginger the size of my thumb (your thumb size may vary!). Enough
oil to make the mixture nice and runny. I do 2:1 ratio of oil
to nama shoyu or lemon juice.

Hi,
I live in San Francisco, although the places I found fresh chickpeas where in Oakland, Berkeley and Redwood City (all place in the Bay Area).
I don't get down to SoCal very often, so I'm unfortunately unable to offer any suggestions. If I hear of any, I will pass the info along.

I put my bananas in a zip loc bag when I freeze them. They seem to last a while (although I normally use them pretty fast because they are so yummy). This might help the moisture loss problem.

119. Re: is frozen raw?
At the frozen food factory I worked in, blanching is *definately* cooking. They spend a few minutes in a boiling water (which also contains color stabizer).
Also, I've not heard of any commercial frozen veggies (organic or not) that where not cooked/blanched first. Although I'd be interested to hear about such a band, it might have been wishful thinking on the part of who ever told you that.

I posted my experiences of spending a summer (Pea season) working at a frozen food factory to this board a while ago. If you're interesting in the horrors, feel free to search for it (I can't put my fingers on it right now).
Hope I will never have to eat frozen foods again.
