- About Me:
- im a medical student at new jersey medical school and currently starved for healthy food! Not particularly a raw foodist, but I love the lifestyle..very very vegetarian except the occasional bout with sushi and I really love grassfed butter(I( know that will not get that friendly of a reception here!), and I eat farm raised bacon 3-4 times a year
- Relationship Status:
- Married
- Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
- the green spice juice at the pure food and wine restaurant in nyc
- Interests (outside of Raw Food):
- hmm...health food in general, holistic health counselling, nutrition as a science overall, i really love animals, I am madly in love with my husband. med school is boring me out of my mind because no matter how much you love science its hard to enjoy it when you get such a huge mouthful of it at once. Kind of like trying to swallow a pineapple...
I dont know if you could tell...I'm health food obsessed, and then secondarily, food obsessed.
- Favorite Books or Authors:
- currently, the omnivores dilemma, but I also love the secret garden, heidi was a childhood favorite, cradle to cradle is a really interesting take on environmentalism, siddhartha is one of my favorite books of all time

I dont smell like fruit, but since getting all the processed foods out of my diet I find I hardly need deoderant. Theres definitely a noticeable improvement.
What are people supposed to smell like? In nature, animals smell musky.

I would love to know your plan for escaping mandatory vaccines, but I don't reckon you'll want to post it here. :(
Thanks Alex :)
I have never dried them myself, but in France and Italy you can buy them already dried (at what temperature I don't know). It was awhile since I ate them (before I went raw).
My saliva has never commented on how I smell. But my mouth tastes fine. And, in case you were wondering, my various excretions all smell good too!

Take action now for your freedom to speak about nutrition.
Your role is simple: Dial the numbers below and say, "I'm calling to oppose Senate Bill 1941." This bill proposes that in New Jersey only Registered Dieticians will be allowed to speak with clients about nutrition.
Joseph Vitale: (732) 855-7441
Robert Singer: (732) 901-0702
The ADA has worked state-by-state to pass turf legislation that excludes everyone except registered dietitians from giving nutritional advice.
They've now moved into New Jersey.
The ADA's mission is to serve the public as "the most valued source" of good advice about food and nutrition. But did you know that this "valued" nutrition resource receives substantial funding from food corporations?
The ADA receives more than $3 million from Wendy's, McDonald's, PepsiCo, Taco Bell, Hershey's and more. On the ADA website you'll find tips on how to make a family dinner healthier-sponsored by Wendy's!

The experts speak out against Bill 1941:
Dr. Neal Barnard, founder and president of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says: "If standardization of the nutrition practice is left in the hands of a single professional organization, the potential bias caused by financial arrangements raises important questions.It is a dangerous mistake to establish in law a monopoly on nutritional counseling."
Dr. Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest says: "I'm very troubled by laws that prevent anyone-including professors of nutrition-from giving nutrition advice, unless they are registered dietitians."
If this bill passes, millions will be impacted. The bill claims that the health and welfare of the residents of New Jersey will be protected by identifying to the public those individuals who are qualified and legally authorized to practice dietetics/nutrition. The citizens of New Jersey certainly need protection-but not from Health Counselors.
