Susanne,

 

What I feel to be true, from what I have read and from personal

experience, is that the more 'toxic' you are, the more repellant

greens seem. When I'm back on junk food, the last thing on earth I

want is a salad or sprouts or even fruit. As soon as my body starts to

clear out a bit I look forward to my greens again.

 

I still don't crave a big bowl of sprouts like I look forward to an

avocado, but there's something about knowing that this super live food

is so full of enzymes that makes it appealing. Especially when you

grow them yourself. And it really is easy-incase you haven't tried it.

Try sproutman.com for advice and seeds and sprouting bags.

 

And sorry if I'm totally wrong and you've been raw for a while but

still can't tolerate them. In that case I would probably just stop

trying for a while and hope that you feel drawn back to them down the

line. I say trust that your body is getting all it needs right now,

from other sources.

Nutritional Yeast is great for you and makes everything cheezy. Works

like a charm! I use it in my pestos. :-)

Thanks! Hopefully by the end of the year! Should be, at least! Erica

Thanks Roger, I omitted this completely!!

 

An excellent book for those interested is Excitotoxins: the Taste that

Kills, by Dr. Russell L. Blaylock.

-------------------------

 

Hello Susanne, I see that Elchanan has partly answered this already. My

suggestion would be that this guideline, about eating things that you like,

only applies to foods that occur in nature, and when they are eaten in their

whole, unprocessed form.

 

Human beings, in their attempts to improve on nature (and to make a stack of

money), have found ways of making things that can seduce our taste buds, but

are definitely not healthy.

 

(This includes some raw-foodies, not just the mainstream junk-food

manufacturers!)
