I don't juice and feel great. I prefer having the juice and pulp of fruit and veges in their natural proportions (i.e., as it comes off the tree or out of the ground). I watched the video and whenever someone sells something I wonder about how influenced the person is by the profit motive. That's not to say that he doesn't deserve to earn money from providing a product that he believes in and

What about stuffing mushrooms with raw baba ganouj? (Soak eggplant in vinegar and salt to remove bitterness. Process eggplant in food processor with tahini, lemon, s&p, parsley, olive oil, garlic and green onion. And you can garnish with shredded carrot or minced celery.)

Hi, just a note to wish you well. I used to live in New Orleans for many years and understand the challenges you face in trying to eat healthily there. It is a city that emphasizes eating cajun and creole foods and a lot of it! Maybe you can find others through meetup.com. I hope so. Let the good times rawl!

When I quit drinking coffee I slept for two days - well, not solid, but almost - and had quite a headache. I haven't smoked, but imagine the withdrawal is also hard to beat at first. HOWEVER, IT IS REALLY WORTH IT!!! I absolutely LOVE eating raw foods and now can't imagine eating any other way. Oh, when I started, I told myself it would be for one month only to try it out. I haven't looked b

To keep prices down, I buy lots of fruits and veges on special at grocery stores. Farmer's markets also can have really good prices.

Taste, definitely. I find that food tastes soooo much better raw. I savor each bite when I eat fruit, especially. It seems like such a treat to get to eat it.
Now that everything I eat is raw, even foods that I used to eat raw (when I also ate cooked foods) are MUCH more flavorful than they used to be! It's like a party in my mouth.
Since many cooked foods have hidden fats, maybe fats

Absolutely! Best wishes for a fun and fabulous sail. As to handling comments, I like to imagine as many possible replies as I can for a given comment so that the next time it happens I am prepared! I am the type that usually can't think well on my feet, but come up with a great line later. I think it's good to assume that people have good intentions, but don't know how to express their curios

It really depends where you live in New Zealand since it is so long from the northern tip to the southern tip, so there are some places in the country that are like Canada, but there are others that are near tropical. However, Whakatane is nothing like Canada. It's the middle of winter here (since it's the southern hemisphere) and 60°F today. It NEVER snows, so the climate is always mild. We

P.S.: There are berry farms right outside of town. Lots of varieties of berries in quantity. Can you believe it? Farmers' market, health foods store, etc.
P.P.S.: The tuatara is a native NZ animal (that looks sort of like an iguana) that can only survive in certain areas where it doesn't get too hot or too cold. Perhaps we were tuataras in a former life? Ha!

My husband and I searched for years through much of the English-speaking world for the "perfect" climate and culture. We lived on the Atlantic coast, Gulf Coast, Pacific Northwest and Hawaii and went to several Carribean countries and Australia looking for the ideal place. Finally we found the Bay of Plenty area of New Zealand. Where we chose has the highest sunshine hours in the cou

Hi, I've been eating raw for three weeks now and LOVE it!!!
1) My favorite fruit delight is blueberries (which are cheap and grown locally here in New Zealand) and a soft frozen banana blended to make a smoothie/sorbet.
2) I also enjoy fresh fruit slaw (e.g., apple, orange, pear, and green leaves) chopped fine in a food processor.
3) I can't wait to eat a "gazpacho-like" salad o
