As far as I am concerned raw food has nothing to do with religion.
Could you take this discussion to the 'other matters' section please

I think Jalan Wood sounds great and has a great meaning. I don't like the sound of Utan myself.
It's YOU that needs to feel comfortable with it though. Maybe get used to signing it and saying it outloud to yourself - see how it feels after a few weeks - don't rush ( I know you've been considering a change for a while - lol)

I loved the picture - I very rarely click on any links so this was a good one. I feel sad that they are held wherever they are though - you can see the bars in the background - elephants are notoriously badly kept with a few notable exceptions.
I'm sorry HH - I'm not pouring cold water on it - I just don't like animals being caged much.

I'm sorry Panchito - I didn't mean to add to your problems. I thought for you the world did't run fine.
Sorry for my questions - I was only trying to understand where you were coming from and explain that in my world it didn't seem so bad. Best wishes to you.

No I don't think being different is sad either - your exact words were that your diet has made you a social outcast - I think that is sad. Who are these people that try to give you advice? - you call them people - not friends I note. Are they just inconsequential people you bump into - surely their opinion of you and your lifestyle doesn't matter at all. What do your FRIENDS say? - or are you

What a sad little post. An outcast - really?
I find that just being honest and kind is enough for most people to return the favour. I don't need all my friends to eat the same way as I do or go running or do crochet!!!
I sometimes think that there are people in the raw world who think they are superior to other people; that they have found some kind of key to happiness that other people c

I agree with jalanutan - something should be happening in you intestines and bowels and it sounds like nothing is. It all sounds very, very wrong to me - I would stop listening to unqualified but well intentioned opinions and get it checked out with a dr. Even if you don't do what he/she suggests you might find a diagnosis that no one here would know/guess at.
I hope you fine the answer soon.

As summer is coming I thought this might be a useful topic to discuss.
I have heard that sunblock itself can cause skin cancer and that sunscreen is better.
It makes sense to stay out of the hot midday sun - I don't know about anybody else but I LOVE feeling the sun on my skin. Emotionally it does me so much good.
I try never to burn but as I get older I find that I do get very itchy sk

Yes I agree Phantom - getting gradually acclimatised is definately the way to go. I prefer to not use any sun screen but carefully monitor my exposure. When I have to work outside (in our rare sunny summers) - then I will use sun screen.
Banana Who - I don't think we can get the benefits from the sun in the winter. It's not just the strength but also something to do with it's position in th

Just for the sake of argument - say a baby was born in november in the uk - there wouldn't be any sun that could do it any good until the following May. The baby in question died at 4 months old I think - so maybe never saw any sunshine. Also most Mum's wouldn't want to expose baby skin to strong sun for more than a few minutes anyway.
Powerlifer - I can understand why people use sun block i

I think it's a real shame that this has turned into such a fight.
This post has made me feel slightly hounded because I do not eat 100% raw. I'm not going to go back and dredge up quotes but my general feeling after reading through the above is a certain inadequacy for not managing 100% raw. I'm sure that wasn't your intention but you must think for a moment how people are going to feel when

I love garlic - just a tiny bit chopped up on my salads. I love the flavour (if it is shootong a green bit out of the top it is better to plant it than to eat it as it will be quite bitter) - I do not suffer any ill effects from eating it - I feel good eating it.
I also quite like cumin seeds and coriander seeds - fresh - not cooked. And various other spices. I don't go along with this idea

What isn't explained in this story is why the baby got rickets. We don't know if the baby was breast fed or bottle fed. Presumably if bottle fed then the milk would have been fortified with vitamin D so therefore I'm assuming the breast milk was deficient. So - if the mother is deficient it follows that the breast milk will be too?
The consultant on the BBC news today said that nobody r

I am really enjoying listening to The Eagles. I used to love them years ago and had Hotel California on vinyl - long since gone sadly. Now I have the 'Best of the Eagles' on Cd and am really enjoying it.
I would like to ask if anyone can recommend particular albums of theirs and why and also what other bands in this same vein might I enjoy.

I don't see how you can seperate people and their health from the environment.
Everything we eat has to grow and and so therefore it stands to reason that we must be concerned about the health of the planet.
I personally care deeply about animal welfare but I know that many people are vegan purely for the sake of their own health. However I don't think Tam was hijacking the thread at all - a

That's true but I had a cheaper centrifugal juicer and it left the pulp so wet and lots of chunks got through without being juiced at all. A lot of pulp for not very much juice
However my Omega (vertical auger - fab) juices EVERYTHING; the hard stuff doesn't have to be too small - long thin (say finger fat!!) veggies go through easy peasy. The green juice that comes through when you do say

I spent about £360 quid on my Omega 350 - love it. Could have bought a second hand car for that money I know but if you are serious about juicing you will want a better one in the end. Cheap juicers will not do leaves etc and usually waste a lot too.
