I can't believe the host ate one too. I would be so distracted by the medical danger theme I couldn't eat any of it even if I ate stuff like that. people are strange....
Here's a quotes from http://www.foodnews.org/
"There is growing consensus in the scientific community that small doses of pesticides and other chemicals can adversely affect people, especially during vulnerable periods of fetal development and ch...
I love creative art, drawing, writing, singing, playing guitar and healthy food. I graduated from Living Light raw vegan culinary art institute in 2006 as a certified raw food chef though I haven't done too much with that. I usually like my fruits and veggies just as they are but the playing and creating was fun! I've had my share of suffering and sadness but somehow managed to stay in touch with my dreams of universal love and goodness.... And I love the beach! Born and raised So Ca girl...
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)

hi amy!
i see you have been to Living Light.
i am interested in becoming a raw vegan chef, and have no experience.
if you could share anything about your experience i would really appreciate it!
Wow I do feel quite a kinship to you because of this stuff. it makes me want to put out feelers for others like us "Survivors of 80's Youth Residential Reform Programs" maybe I'll do that some day. We did beat them!!!
oh yeah, i'm right there with ya. Straight was based in Florida where I grew up. (fellow beach bum)
was it residential? I spent 19 months and 14 days inside we had no outdoor space at all because they didn't want to pay for security. We we're inside a warehouse type building. God looking back on it, it seems so un-real. how the hell did they get away with that? My family has never apologized for it either.
checked out your A blog. cool stuff. i was placed in a place called STRAIGHT, Inc. when I was 15. 19 months of my life taken from me! (still a 'lil bitter) The program was a 7 step program. (based on the AA 12) The biggest difference being of course the 'forced compliance' by means of physical, mental and emotional abuse. Ya don't get that in AA, thank God. It's taken me years to unwash my brain. The place has been sued by 1000's for millions since I was there. '81-'83. They changed the company name, closed down their centres and now are the top advisors to the US gov on drugs. Nice people!
i know too much info... sorry
Thanks for the kind words and I am up for jammin some tunes any time.
Nice Amy then my work on Earth is complete ! :D Yeah food and fashion is the fun things in life, even after 12+ years I am still excited well even more excited about RAW actually because it is all so new and cutting edge. And there are limitless opportunties to create and be creative, in the last 2000 years cooked fooders had their chance and all we got was war, collapse of economy, etc. now the next 2,000 years belongs to RAW FOODISTS and we will heal, love, share, grow, party! But yeah just enjoy the RAW your creativity will blossom I am sure of it!
A group where sexy individuals, such as myself (hah), who enjoy living a clean life...in terms of food and the environment anyways, because let's face it..what you do behind closed doors is your businesss ;]
The tribes are gathering.. Do you want to live in a more human model of society. It has long been an idea of mine to begin a Permaculture based community, however I am reminded that community is about sharing with others, not doing it all yourself!
A gathering spot for eco-entrepreneurs to share, network, brainstorm, and showcase thier dreams and ideas! From health consultants, professional bloggers, restauranteurs, and green energy titans, all are welcome.
This group is designed solely for the purpose of sharing recipes!
Did you try something new that you just have to share?
Do you have a special recipe that you've perfected over the years?
Recipes for Newbies to begin the Raw journey. Preferably simple, common ingredients using fairly common kitchen appliances...light on time and MMMmmm, mmmmm good.
For all those on the path of manifesting all that they desire through the law of attraction, fans of the movie "The Secret" and/or its principles, and anyone seeking friends on their journey to the realization of their dreams!
