I feel the same way! I need more raw friends in my life outside of internet land. My boyfriend is mega supportive, but he doesn't eat as much raw as i'd like so sometimes that makes it a little harder for me. But yeah, I get some weird looks when people ask me about being raw. I am also pretty thin to begin with so I bet they think I have some sort of eating disorder or some weird idea of weight management :) Little do they know, I just want to be as healthy as can be!! :)

LOL, Loo I totally feel you! Since I went raw, my boss tells me at least several times a week that I am too thin to "just eat lettuce all the time." But the funniest part is that she is dieting at LA WeightLoss and has stopped losing weight, so now she is asking me how to get lean! LOVE IT! I got her to buy hemp seeds, gogi berries and raw almonds the other day! I was so pumped!!!

My co-workers would probably flip out if they saw this website - i intern in the nutrition department for a major processed food company (i don't eat their food obviously nor think it is healthy) - they specialize in canned soups, processed fruit and veggie juices w/ preservatives, etc...

I know exactly how you feel. I consult for a marketing firm that sometimes doesn't always "push" the best products out there. I nearly drove my boss batty when she was trying to do an eco-campaign. originally the company was trying to pitch its products as organic and I fought them every step of the way. Luckily, they listened and my dumb behind wasn't fired.

this is ridiculous! haha! bunch of raw foodies sneaking around at work! i love it!

i'm pretty much the freak at my conventional office job (i recently re-joined corporate america) and it's not super tight around here... i just can't be here all day...

where are the OC super foodists around here?? i'm constantly "pushing" goji berries, incan berries and apples n other organic food on my coworkers... they don't really get it.. but they like the food. i'm alwaysing wowing them with my lifestyle. i'm pretty sure i'm the only person in the company with hundreds with a coconut sitting on my desk at 6 am in the morning. it's led me to see the vast amount of conventionalism going on these days.

it's also quite amazing at how overweight, heavily medicated and toxic people are all over. everyone's always sick or going to the doctor... it amazes me how possible it is not to see. i bless everyone. 100% woohoo!~!!!!

If I wasn't at home today, I'd be spending all day at work checking posts on here. We have web filtering at work, but luckily for me I'm the System Administrator... so GI2MR is now classified as 'work related' by our filters :)
