Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 HI, Froggy, I loved the way you share about your feelings about the raw lifestyle and what's going on with you about it all. I can totally relate to everything you said and I appreciate knowing that I'm not alone.

I'm not as busily trying to find every new and different produce item that I can find. That isn't what this diet is about to me. It's about simplicity, freeing up my time so I can do more serviceful things (like talking about raw food on here, lol). I'll leave the creative playing with food to the chefs. Their cooked creations look more like art than food. People should frame their chef meals and put them on a wall instead of putting them in their mouths. There's certainly enough pressure in trying to eat raw. Besides my own dark soul to contend with, there's societal pressures to not eat raw and the things people say and do contribute to not wanting to eat raw. Fortunately I see all people as idiots or to put it kindly, as little children, so I really don't put much stock in what anyone does or says. That makes it a little easier. rawfood , " Froggy " <seconaphim> wrote: > Just > want to eat to nourish my body and move onto the next thing.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 That's what I do, personally. We were debating the pros and cons of juicing, and I have yet to be convinced about it. rawfood , " Froggy " <seconaphim> wrote: > > Why not just eat the fruits and veggies as they are? > > rawfood , " Michael " <resolver33> wrote: > > > > > > Yeah, composting takes some of the pain out of throwing all that > stuff > > out.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Froggy, I know just what you mean. You have really inspired me with your posts lately. I have been collecting a lot of the receipes and information I have received lately. But in reality I am just enjoying the whole foods. Ive been vegetarian for a little while, but wasnt satisfied with that, I wanted to cut animal products out all together. But then I was left with a lot of soy, which just felt so processed to me. Now I am enjoying the simplicity of not having to cook all the time and prepare food other then giving it a quick chopping up sometimes. I am however a single mother of three kids and do need to provide for them so I still cook them a nice vegetarian meal every night. But I usually end up eating the raw food while Im cooking it up for them. Froggy <seconaphim wrote: The library computer where I'm at cut me off so I just wanted to finish my thought.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Happy to be of service. Whole foods are the best. I'm somewhat undecided about the physical necessity to eat raw plant food for health reasons, but I'm clear that it's morally better to not eat animals or their products. I don't eat soy or tofu. A knife and a peeler are my weapons. Good luck on the raw food eating. Rich rawfood , Tara <peechysweett71> wrote: > > Froggy, > > I know just what you mean.
