So after attacking me personally, and calling me names, you're going to school me on being polite. That's a gem! Thanks for the laugh!
I just looked, and yesterday was my 12th raw anniversary. Twelve years, I'm in my fifties, athletic and in my best shape ever. Healthier and more balanced than I've been in my entire life. I suppose I could be considered one of the the more successful long t

HH,
Civil discourse and politeness used to be the accepted norm in debates. Now it’s considered a weakness to be capitalized on. Personal insults in a debate used to be considered a weakness of position, or a lack of confidence in a point. Now it’s accepted as the norm and applauded. That is a travesty for society and I choose not to practice it.
I can’t think of one single time in m

I was tired, I apologized, give me a break. Now, with that type of attack I have NO interest in reading it and debating further. So you no longer want to take the time to debate me? (if you can call it a debate) Am I supposed to feel insulted now, like I screwed up? Not gonna happen.

So this is what you say when I agree with you? That corp looks evil.
HH, I either ignore it or reply with a play on words when people call me names. If it's all the same to you, don't waste your time.
I did in fact only skim that article because I'm working tonight. You gave me a link, and that does deserve the respect of reading it thoroughly, and I didn't. Sorry, maybe later.

Pearson PLC is a very large corp with fingers in lots of pies. Probably way to much lobbying influence. I agree they are Monsanto type scary.

HH, You are referring to 1 document. There are 9 documents that are the standards for common core with over 600 pages. That is it, common core in it's entirety. From there each state customizes it's own standards. Those state standards are implemented locally, with local curriculum choices.

Umm... if it's not written in the text of law or the appendixes, then where is it?

Where does it say anything about requiring it's use? Just because they will make it available, does not mean the states have to use them. What wrong with some educational innovation as long as it's not forced?
Many textbook companies have curriculum packages available for schools, because many groups develop them. They run the spectrum conservative, liberal, religious, you name it.

Please show me where it dictates anything like that on the federal level in the actual texts. Suggested, sample, approved, and required have very specific different meanings.
The Common core standards text in the links I've given specifically uses the words suggested and samples. It does not list any "approved texts" or required texts.
Look for yourself, here are the appendixes:

I kind of enjoy unbending things around here from time to time with facts.
My understand is "common core" having set standards that have to be met eat each level of teaching. I see it more as a level of accountability a teaching institution must meet.
No one has the time to read this stuff. We all rely on our news sources to tell us about it. But news organizations are no longer

I know Common Core is vastly unpopular, and I don't fully understand it.
These anecdotal stories you are reading in blogs appear to be local school board choices of material. I could be wrong, but from what I understand, Common Core does not dictate material.
Please see for yourselves. Read the English or math standards. I can't find dictated or mandatory material anywhere in the standards

The pros around here can probably answer better than me, but I've been sprouting for a while so maybe this will help.
They look like root hairs on overgrown sprouts but it's hard to tell. I sometimes use a magnifying loop to check sprouts. Maybe my eyes are just gettin' old,

John,
Here's a thought...
Maybe you guys should start your own raw food forum. That way you can have whatever rules you want. You could also post whatever subjects and links you want. Heck, you would even have the power to allow and ban whoever you wanted. You and sproutman seem to be popular, I'm sure you would get a lot of traffic.
Think of it, you wouldn't have to spend all your time

Thanks SueZ,
It's no big deal. I'm just better off not trying. The days of pain and fatigue that would probably follow are not worth it.
Therese, Sorry if we hijacked your thread. I hope you find some good alternatives.
My solution is that I eat very few things that are processed in any way. Hemp seeds are a rare exception for me.
Good luck!

I love nut butters, but they are all triggers for me. Raw or roasted, organic, farm purchased, store bought or home made, it doesn't seem to matter.

What you scrape from the beans will probably be just as intense as the powder, just more fresh.
I don't buy them often, but when I do, I always buy from here.

Hi SueZ,
I find they all give me problems. I'll admit to eating a couple of almonds once in a while, but they all cause flairs for me. I only eat raw organic hemp seed hearts on a regular basis. Hemp seeds are great, really tasty, you should try them.
It seems that everyone is different, with different triggers. Being raw helps a lot, but even after 12 years 100% or high raw, I find I'm st

Hi Therese,
I went raw because of Celiacs and other Autoimmune conditions as well.
Almost all nuts and seeds are triggers for my R.A., etc. It doesn't seem to matter how fresh, or how they are processed. I have to avoid all of them except hemp seed hearts for some reason.
