lol... just like nature intended right from the plastic bag... it would be silly to see these bags of rommain lettuce sprouting up out of the ground... or maybe bagged lettuce would actually grow on trees... or maybe i need to live somewhere that i can garden year round so i don't have to worry about this so much... any ideas... i'm in the mood for a big change...

I got some lettuce today... and it tasted sort of perfumey... I've gotten this lettuce before from the same store... and yes... "Gasp" it was not organic... (I'm a girl and a VERY limited budget)... but it's never tasted like this before... they rinse their produce a lot... so much so I try to drain it before i weigh it... could they be putting something in the water... maybe som

my new favorite meal is grated beet and carrots finely chopped collard greens a few green onion olive oil lemon or lime or raw vinegar a little brown mustard to taste... or not if you don't like mustard... grated ginger would work too... salt pepper to taste then wrap it up in a sheet of nori with some cucumber strips... cut it up like they do in the japanese restaurants or just eat it as a wrap

Ok so I get that most people here don't agree with taking enzymes but if you did and only for a short time what type of enzymes would you take... Is there a good raw foods supplement out there that includes hydrochloric acid???

Ok... so now my acupuncturist is suggesting I take enzymes ... he suggested Enzymall to be exact because it has hydrochloric acid... he said his concern is that my worst meals are healthier then most people's best and still i'm not absorbing the nutrients... so he's hoping the enzymes will help a long with Apple cider vinegar my concern with this is the acidic-ness that i already feel even with

100. Enzymes theory
Was trying to explain to someone recently how enzymes in raw foods work ... you know if you cook the food the enzyme is killed... and she said she heard that theory had been debunked... and I said i hadn't heard that and am usually in the know about this kind of stuff as I do read a fair amount about this stuff... and then i thought well surely i don't know everything... and so I thought I would

Yeah I was pretty shocked and amazed when I read this list and I even expected it to be bad. Ya know the crazy thing is that the place I work is a healing center... people go there to be healed to do Yoga and breathe deeply... I am doing a work exchange for healing services... and I may have to quit because the stuff they use to make it smell like a nice healing center... is making me sick...

I have been eating a lot of fruit lately trying to change things up and see if i feel better... just coming off of a 2 day water fast and 2 day juice feast... and i have noticed that when i eat my meal of fruit or even drink some juice that my stomach starts to feel funny and it is sort of hard to breathe ... it seems like maybe it is the sugar as I had some...

hmmm... I've done the liver flush before and it seemed to work wonders... i can't imagine that what came out of me was just oil and salt cause they were quite large we're talking an inch across it was a triangle in shape and very green like the bile.... I've heard that same argument but i've also heard other arguments that were for it... i'll read more about it and reconsider...

Yes... food can be addictive a book I think everyone should read is The End To Overeating in America... it's sort of sickening the way these food scientist create food in a way that we become addicted to it... all simply to sell more product with the risk of the health of the consumer.
But then there is also the emotional addiction of food. Using food via overeating under eating... etc...
