Guest guest Posted February 1, 1999 Report Share Posted February 1, 1999 id anyone miss me? I've been gone for 1 ½ months. We've only picked up two new members in all that time! Doesn't anyone have anything to talk about? How is everyone doing?<br><br>Well I've been busy like I guess most of you have been with the holidays and all. I'm currently on a jury for a criminal case. My big shipment of raw food books came in, at least most of them did, and I've been absolutely absorbed in reading them. I've learned quite a bit. One of them, " Nature's First Law: The Raw-Food Diet " , I read through three times-like a mad man! I underscored about every third line. I loved it! Thanks to the convincing arguments of it's three authors I finally made the jump from 70% to 100% raw. So for the last six weeks I've been 100% raw, no meat, fish, bread, ice cream… just fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. It's been wonderful. It probably helped that I was 70% for 6 months but this book gave me all I needed to go all the way. And you know what? I don't miss a thing… no cravings for what I no longer eat. Cravings for ice cream left long ago along with meat. I think bread and pasta were the hardest things for me to forego. But I did. I can ride right past that bagel shop without a sweat now. And cooked food? It's poison. I just don't want cooked food at all any more. I'm going to share some of the items that were new to me from this book in a later post. Until then, if you are interested, you can get it from <a href=http://www.rawfood.com target=new>http://www.rawfood.com</a><br><br>At the same time I gave up watching TV and listening to the radio. I'm a news junky and really like listening to talk radio. But I find that there is so much junk on that it gets me all worked up and mad. My wife hates driving with me when the radio is on because I get involved with the daily issues. So I finally realized that all news was just making me mad and I wanted to put an end to it. Looking back did it really matter to me what the final outcome of the O.J. case was or what it will be in the Monica Affair? Ok, I'm going to get stuck in traffic now and then and I'm going to miss a sale some day and I'm going to get caught in the rain. But I'm banking that one less aggravation in my life is going to pay dividends to my family and me. So good-bye Bob Grant, Rush Limbaugh and Jerry Springer… and hello to my family, friends and great literature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
