Going back to last Friday, rain started to fall just about the time I would have routinely been leaving for work. Later, I went out and checked the gauge. I don’t know when I emptied it last so the 2″ that was in it wasn’t even close to being accurate. We’d had that much in [...]

Oprah had three Freegans on her show. In my part of the world, they are known as Dumpster Divers. This isn’t something I’ve ever done but one of my forum members does it regularly. I have read up on it some but that’s as far as I’ve gotten.
I found this by googling “freegan”. I couldn’t [...]

A few days ago, I subscribed to the Veria channel. There is lots of programming of interest to the raw foodist. I was excited to see a raw pizza on the menu of one of the cooking shows. It was largely a disappointment when it started out something like “Two days before you plan to [...]

This is a frequently asked question on every raw vegan forum including mine. As the raw foodist’s health improves and he/she has the experience of more energy and a brighter outlook on life, it’s natural to wish the same for a beloved pet. Or two or three. A bird is no problem. A dog will [...]

Do you feel wilted? Does your head ache? Are you down in the dumps? Has your enthusiasm for life taken a downturn? You probably haven’t been outside in a month of Sundays. Walking from your house to the car doesn’t count. Neither does walking from your car to your workplace. Not unless you park a [...]

This is something I touched on in yesterday’s post. I believe it deserves a more in-depth analysis (how’s that for high-falutin’ talk?).
Let’s start with the requirements. First you have to have a body. We all have that. Then you need to have the ability to be introspective. Third, honesty is imperative. Fourth, if you take [...]

When I became a raw foodist, I learned a new vocabulary. Raw vegans don’t get sick. The body is cleaning house (I referred to that a few days ago), it’s detoxing, or there’s a cleansing crisis.
When the house cleaning is going on, the bacteria invade, find a weak spot, and latch on. At that [...]

I get that a lot and it’s a valid question. Tonight, I won’t try to go into all the ways I use to stay supplied with raw food. These 10 tips are ones that anyone, no matter how they eat, can use—to a point. But we’ll get to that later.

Shower with water only.
