Thanks for posting this, KidRaw. I wish more women saw stuff like this, but would it get through to them? I have found that many natural products have, let's say, design flaws, meaning they aren't as convenient to use. If there's one thing people like, it's convenience. Another thing is sanitation, or the appearance of it. There's an "ick" factor to the menstrual process in our cult

I recall how we had to wear gloves for the safety of our skin--not to prevent contamination of the meat--in the charcouterie portion of garde mange class in cooking school. Those additives and preservatives with which meats are processed are caustic and the toxicity is not mitigated by cooking/smoking. That was a surreal experience for me as a vegan, garde mange class . . .

It's a bit of a trek, I think, but Inn Season in Royal Oak, and The Cacao Tree Cafe across the street are veg/vegan, with TCTC being raw.

KidRaw,
Already saw that and I do not think that says what you think it says. The rate of warming is temporarily slowing down, but it is still going in the wrong direction for optimal biospheric functioning.
So let me put up a tally of where we are as of 2013 in the Denialist Justification Tourney:
1.) There is no such thing as global warming
2.) The planet is actually cooling

KidRaw,
This is the primary problem of the anti side: The premise that the planet has not been increasingly warming for the past several hundred years, and due to human activity, is not supportible so it is wrong, as a hypothesis. Whether the planet has or hasn't been warming in the last 15 years, an increment too small to act as a conclusive demonstrative timeframe, is irrelevant. The argu

This was very interesting. It should be titled, "Raw Food Gurus: Before the Great Schism"

I found that eating fruits alone, and nuts well after fruits on an empty stomach, was easier on my digestion. Don't know if that's how you're doing it, but . . .

You are wating your time, Bill. The thinking of the denialists goes like this:
I will consider this idea thus far, but no further, because any further than this scares me, so I must pretend it isn't there and must find evidence for this pretense. And I must make you agree that it isn't there and agree to my pretense and agree to credit my unscientific evidence, because if you don't I hav

I am so tired of pointing out that not all sources of information are valid. Just because it has the word "Science" in the name, doesn't make the blog/magazine legit. Also, industry sources do not equal science-based sources, for obvious reasons, which thus invalidates them.
You seemed to spend a lot of time compiling these, KidRaw. It's a shame you have not examined any of the leg

It's gotten to the point where even salads aren't safe at chain restaurants, though. The standards are so very, very low now that in much of the U.S. and possibly lower Canada, you have to go to a high-end restaurant to get fresh, non-irradiated greens. And ordering a cooked vegan meal is like playing roulette. Because of the rate at which food must be produced and served, it is a rare restaur

jimmyk,
Late to the party, me, but just wanted to say that listening to your body--which you seem to be doing methodically--is imperative. If you sort through the testamonials here, you will see that the majority of people don't go high raw overnight, and experience instant healing. They almost without exception experience the beginnings of healing: allaying of symptoms of disease, increasi

I'm afraid that, from what I've read of the case, this was decided appropriately; the farmer was trying to pull a fast one on Monsanto, thinking he could buy and breed their seeds without paying for them. I don't understand why the seed distributor, who appears to have committed fraud, wasn't named in the lawsuit . . . I try to focus on the fact that anything that causes farmers to turn to more

Michele,
Like rab, I was raised Eastern Orthodox, and though I am not an adherent to any particular faith(I tend towards a sort of amalgamated Orthodox-Zoroastrianism), vegan fasting was not an alien concept in my life. If you believe in a benevolent Creator, or Creator Force, you can consider what humans in Creation are supposed to be: peaceful, custodial, harmonious, or vicious, destructiv

Hi, Christina, and welcome!
Happy Mother's Day
You seem very distressed by what's going on in your life, in some ways, because you sense that you aren't eating according to your values. Fortunately, this is something within your control. I agree with recommendations to just start reintroducing raw fruits and veggies back into your daily diet wherever possible, say, big salads before lunc

I don't know, Panchito. Michael Pollan is credited with causing a mainstream shift in the way we think about how food is created in the modern era. The average Westerner is NOT going to appreciate raw foodism philosophy, having had a lifetime of brainwashing by Kraft and Nabisco, et al. So it's understandable that people like Pollan advocate taking baby steps to basic awareness about what you

Thanks for posting this Occupy Monsanto stuff, Bill. Will try to find a march near me. I am glad to say I presently have zero Monsanto-based products in me home.

That's why I said in my experience! Mental instability, i.e. overnight quitting your job, pulling your kids out of school and and abandoning you home to travel to Mt.

Agree with banana who; timeline matters. Also, all animal foods are toxin-carriers, and should be eliminated to reset the diet, so to speak. Frozen, field-grown wheatgrass juice is better than powdered, but I would wonder if its advised, as you friend has been cautioned to avoid grasses, specifically. Go slow on the wheatgrass, IMO.

Agree with Jodi, jj; I know I'm not allergic to beets, as I always respond well to both raw and cooked ones, but when I drink more than a small serving of raw beet juice all at once, my system says, "Oh, heck no!" and I feel sick almost immediately.
I think once one is very cleared out, if one tries drinking a large amount of beet juice and feels sick afterwards, that is a sign of st

Haven't read the book, but if you look at it from a traditional nutrition chemistry/biology perspective, Pollan is right: If you are concerned with calories and maybe macronutrients, cooking--because it traumatizes the tissues of the plant or animal food--does expose more inner constituents to our digestive acids and enzymes in a smaller volume of food than a raw foodist would choose.

I agree with Bill. In my experience, religious belief can promote stability, but beyond a certain point of fervor it actually creates mental instability. The researchers are clear that they mean mainstream, traditional religiosity, as opposed to zealotry, but a philosophycan easily fit the definition and is less prone to extremism. Think about how chill Buddhist monks are

Ah, Jim, how I miss your postings when you are long absent!
I suspect, but have not looked to far into it as ignorance is bliss, that more and more growers are using artifical "ripening" methods to give fruit the appearance of readiness just for sale. Scent they cannot duplicate, as yet, so I still go by whether a fruit smells ripe rather than just what it looks/feels like. Don't k
