When I started eating the raw food/raw vegan way, I felt like I was invincible. I was going to eat 100% raw the rest of my life and I would live a long, long time with no health problems. I still hope to live a long, long time with less health problems than if I [...]

Everything you do, everything you eat, everything you wear, everything you see has side effects. You swallow a pill to take away your cold symptoms and it makes you sleepy. That’s a side effect. You eat a large portion of lasagna and feel bloated. You may even gain weight. That’s a side effect. You put [...]

That is the question. I’d been rebounding for five days, 20 minutes a day until yesterday. I overslept. I didn’t have time to bounce before I went to work. I’d been feeling so good.

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 [...]

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 [...]
