Where fried chicken is a breakfast staple. Where greens are not greens until they are slow cooked in animal fat. Where mac and cheese is considered a vegetable. Where at least 6 out of 10 of the most obese states are Southern. RAWvolution!!
Had to laugh about the Mac and Cheese thing. I work at a restaurant, and a woman recently said she wanted a vegetable. I'm sure you can guess what she ordered...

Rose said… - update on the primal food recommendation. I recently found a 4mm piece of metal in a nugget of primal food. Notified the FDA and the company. I'm just glad I caught it. Changed to Natures Variety. They seem to like it even more.

Rawvelous said… - Hi Betsy,
Hey, did you hear that Raw chef Brian Au is coming to Nashville this coming week? I think between the 9th and 13th of Oct. I am working on getting a get together/ meetup while he's here. Interested? Also, he'll be offering a class at my house (2 day raw chef certification) if we can get a coupla peeps together to take it. I will message you my phone #...

Erin said… - Wow! I'm so impressed! I'd love to visit the urban homestead, someday. Our country would be so much better off if everyone did that- people would be happier, healthier, more grounded, less wasteful- I think there'd be less crime and poverty, too!
Maybe the flower children were really saying "give peas a chance", and we just misunderstood!

- It's 8-8-08 today. I read that the Chinese love the number 8 (triple happiness!). It's a good day to be superstitious- this gorgeous weather make me think there could be something to it;) It just feels lucky today!
Are you going to Whole Foods tomorrow?

idarastar said… - So true! I've had many people ask what I am drinking and I'm thrilled to explain that I'm drinking pure life juice! :-)
The spirit is real and dwells within.
I can't really "subscribe" to a religion as every "organization" has their good and bad. It's just so difficult for a group of people to dictate and interpret true divinity as it is something that can't be explained through words. It's power beyond words that humans can express.
Peace and Many Blessings! :-)

So, my coworkers at my new job are now officially clued in to the raw food that I eat. At first, I didn't want to make any waves, so I had been eating salads of various kinds, fruit and veggies with raw dips, and green smoothies in my red jar that disguises what's really inside. But yesterday, I brought celery/cucumber juice in a clear jar, an avocado, and medjool dates with almonds. Everyone commented on how pretty the juice looked (it was a particularly glorious shade of green) and a few stran… Continue

Oh, life. You are so weird. I never made it to India. It just wasn't my time and now I am content with the way things have turned out. I have a new apartment in downtown Nashville (albeit with no furniture yet) and a well paying job that I enjoy with a group of progressive Methodists. Life has settled me down a bit. I discovered in this whole process that I had surrounded myself with a group of people who did not have my best interest at heart, nor did they bring out the best in me. I have left… Continue

On Unwillingness to change...
Surprisingly, the world does not stop its direction when I am uncomfortable. It's also surprising that even though it is such a simple cliche I still believe that the world will "stop for me." My car is completely broken, I have no job, I think my marriage is ending, and I am supposed to be in Mumbai already, but for some reason my work visa is still tied up at the embassy. It's looking like ANOTHER six weeks from now. I was supposed to be there March 1. So now, all my things are in boxes, some… Continue

Green Smoothies
So this whole green smoothie thing is freakin' brilliant. Not just because I am now consuming about 1000% more greens. Not just because it is a quick alternative to shoving potato chips in my mouth in a starving fury. Not just because I now don't snack (secretly) on my boss's god-awful kraft cheese squares and "fat free" pringles when I am bored at work.
No, it's brilliant because I now use 100% of any produce that I buy before it goes bad in my refrigerator. That's right...100% WAY better than… Continue

Hi Elise,
I take it that the high price is gladly refunded if it "doesn't take".
Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...
Congrats, bro.
A friend of mine has had issues with her parents since childhood, she tried everything including numerous counseling sessions, hypnosis etc etc. She then did a two day intensive program called ‘the breakthrough experience’ and now she’s a changed ...
I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
yes she is :)
wow THANK YOU!!!!
Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
No problem at all. We're all here to support each other in our journeys. :D
with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.
thanks -- it makes me really enjoy being sick!
respect,yb.
Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind.
She was tough, tough, tough, tough.
Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.
Ha-Ha-Ha! Yah, womyn!! Glad ya said somethin
Ohh nice! Yea, they're addicting as hell. If it wasn't for the price I would look like the Berlin Wall by now.
Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...
