yeah but what keeps me from buying it is not so much the un-raw factor but the fact that unless you make it yourself, you keep on buying those extremely stupid foam packages. I go to the japanese market a lot and we have a lot of variety here but I never found reasonably packaged natto.

i stopped for the same reason, it's like the trader joe's phenomenon. 'would you like your organic (fermented) xyz in some non-biodegradable packaging that will ruin your day?'
uhhh.... well... how kind of you to ask but..
after months of pointedly avoiding nijiya market, i was almost grateful to discover a soy allergy that mooted the point for the next few years.
At the macro online community someone posted that you could try to use other beans or lentils in homemade natto, which is a possibility if my fermenting skills ever improve.

Wow! That is sooo Japanese! I like it! Natto is like the blue cheese of the veggie world.

Yep, Indian is the bomb.

Lately burning tons of calories, I've added this ice cream item:

Larry & Lunas Coconut Ice Cream (http://www.coconutbliss.com/)

-so much better than cow

wheat free vegan chocolate oat bars, just always wary of refined sugars and anything cooked in metal.

lots of stuff that three or four years ago i wouldn't have considered food: gluten free breads, jam from the farmers market, even ice cream (laloo's goat ice cream and the chocolate coconut bliss, dear god in heaven), & i am learning to cook japanese food without soy sauce, and it's hard to tell which is greater in that last task - the difficulty or the stupidity

the upside, i think less about MY food

braggs liquid aminos, tea, occasional cup o joe....

lately i've been into this sweet raw granola by a company called two moms in the raw...gluten free blueberry granola. i don't like to buy any packaged food, gonna have to start homemaking it, but these mommas got it right. i guess it's technically "raw" "uncooked" but it doesn't feel "alive" if you know what i think i mean. dehydrated and packaged and shipped and bought at a whole foods near you.

it changes from time to time

tea has been constant. though there are some sun dried herbal teas here as well. green tea is a must for me :p

and ocassionally i will havea little red wine on a celebration. organic of course, preferably bio dynamic.

i have these organic cashews too from time to time. they are extremely yummy but not hand shelled i guess.

I will also have a bit of cocoa powder of the best quality i can get, for the occasional raw treats and ice creams until i get the real raw cacao deal. but that is like once in ages.

Hmm wellI have being trying to go raw for about 2 years now lol! I've only managed a week max, ahaha =P!
It's just damaging for me, because I get really upset and self loathing when I fail. And I felt as though I was stuck - wanting to do what makes my family happy, by eating 'normal' but wanting to be happy yet feeling I couldn't because I was so addicted to cooked food. But a bunch of people here gave me some great advice to not take the all or nothing approach.

I'm doing 1-3days cooked per month. On these days I can eat WHATEVER I want, like cookies, fries, chocolate - whatever. What's been stopping me eating raw, is the fear of social exclusion, rejection from my family & the fear of never being able to eat yummy cooked food again.

At least this way, I won't have to worry about this stuff so much. I can eat turkey at Christmas and go out to eat with my boyfriend and I can eat all the crap I love the taste of and still get all the benefits of being raw - I just kind of look at it now, how my SAD friends look at getting drunk and the hangover afterwards lol, not that big of a deal, imo =).
