Digest Number 557

[Guest guest]

I've eaten very recently at Waziema and would return.

There is not just one vegetarian dish available, but

about a half-dozen or so. All the vegetarian dishes

are available as a combo platter, which is all you can

eat before 8 pm (though I'm not certain of this end

time) for $6.50.

 

I thought the food was nicely prepared, and in some

ways better than other Ethiopian restaurants. Though

too mildly spiced for my palate (the spicier the

better), the dishes were not overly oily or

overcooked, which meant that the ingredients were

complemented rather than hidden. In particular, the

mushrooms were a mouthful of tasty freshness, and the

yellow lentils were just yummy.

 

I don't know if the dishes are vegan (it's not a

concern I have) but it's highly possible. Just call

and ask.

 

My favorite part about Wazeima is that it's a nice

neighborhood bar. It got some sort of Best of the Bay

award for the best wallpaper (original 1920's red cut

velvet) has a great bar, and the back room has even

more tables, local art, and one billiard table.

 

Worth a visit!

Thank you Star for posting!!!!

 

I have a 12 year old vegan raw foodist son. He was raised 100% organic Vegan

from birth and became a raw foodist almost 5 months ago. I breastfed him for

5 and a half years until he weaned himself. He's always been off the charts

on his heighth and he has a really high IQ. He always had serious allergies

as a Vegan though and nothing we ever did worked until he went RAW. He is so

healthy now, still growing like a sunflower, and he glows! He was starting

to get teeneage acne but now it is gone and he has beautiful skin. He loves

being RAW with me even though his friends aren't raw let alone vegan.

neither is his Father. It is weird living in a house with a cooked person.

We all just do our own thing. Ian is homeschooled and always has been, so

being Raw doesn't effect him socially. Actually, all his homeschooled

friends and non-homeschooled friends know he's Vegan. They always hang out

at our house and eat Raw vegan food too. They always say our house is the

coolest and most fun hangout. I'm always preparing something exciting and

different. I love being Raw and will never go back to cooked food,

ever!!!!!!!!!! It has completely changed my life. If I could have more

children, I would raise them 100% raw from the beginning and never doubt

whether or not it is right. I know it is right.

 

Just wanted to add my two cents worth.

 

BTW, My friend, Jinjee has raised her children from brith raw and they are

soooooooo healthy!! Gorgeous kids!!

 

Blessings,

Angela

Children and raw food

 

In response to the posts regarding when to worry about children on raw

food. I would like to share that my husband and I have been feeding

our child raw food since he was born (with the exception of a few slip

ups because of our transition). His first year he was breastfed and

also drank cocunut milk and banana milk. He snacked on many fruit

especially grapes - loved them. He is now 2 years old eats raw

oatmeal, almond milk, apples, celery (occasionally), cocounut milk,

nuts, bananas, strawberries, blackberries, and much more.

 

I would like also to mention that even though he is 2, he wears 3T

clothing which he will grow out of soon into 4 year old clothing (in

about 3-4 months). When standing around children older than him, he

towers over them. So I am not sure if I agree with the person that

children on raw food grow slower than children on the SAD (standard

american diet). My experience is quite different - mine stays in one

size for 6 months (if I am lucky) before sprouting on to the next

size. The fact that he he wearing clothing for a year older is proof

in that. You should see him next to the 3, 4 and even some 5 year olds.

 

Also I think the same phenonmen occurs in chidren that it does in

adults when eating raw food. There seems to be a point of a little

eating. David Wolfe has mentioned in his books that after the

beginning transition, we start to eat 1 maybe 2 small meals a day.

Because our bodies are running so much pure than before, they only

need a little fuel.

 

Think about this - if children are started on raw food before their

bodies get clogged up with stuff, imagine that their transition will

not be as great as us adults. I love the fact my son goes and gets

apples himself. I cried for joy the first time he did it and encourage

each time. Sometimes he will only eat 2 apples and drink coconut

milk, almond milk and some juice all day and that's it. His abundance

of energy is sometimes hard to keep up with. LOL.

 

So, that's my 2 cents. I am sure other parents out there probably

have had different experiences - would love to hear about them.

 

Blessings to all from the Pacific Northwest.

 

Have the best day of your life!!!

Love,

Star
