I will be in the city this coming weekend. I have a raw potluck in the suburbs on Friday night but then will be going to town after that and probably leaving sometime Saturday. There are plenty of places, especially in the east village and lower e...
I've spent the last couple of weeks avoiding internet boards and such thinking about what it means to me to eat healthy. I know that I feel the best if I eat 100% raw, but there are downsides to eating raw for me - namely the fact that I have to f...
The grains I eat are a lot of quinoa and occasionally wild rice, I have never heard anyone refer to either of these as toxic.
I am questioning whether it is really necessary to eat 100% raw, not questioning whether it can be done or not. I have b...
This is pretty similar to an argument I have been making for a very long time. I do not eat 100% raw. The exceptions I usually make are for grains - specifically quinoa and wild rice. I try soaking them and I just can't take the texture so I cook ...
Hi Heather - I was just writing a post about this very same subject when I saw yours!
I am also very slender and am right about at the low-end of a weight that is considered "alive" for my height. I'd like to gain some weight. I do weight trainin...
Raw Potluck at Croton On Hudson, NY
July 18, 2009 from 5pm to 9pm
I am organizing a raw potluck in Croton on Hudson on Saturday, July 18th. Croton is in the NYC suburbs and is easily accessible via mass transit.
Please bring a raw or vegan dish along with the recipe. I will gather the recipes and share them wit...
I have learned never to trust anyone that is trying to sell me anything.
I do have to say that Frank Black's comment above is the highlight of my day so far.
Good point.
Most people on Atkins-like, high protein low carb diets aren't overweight, they probably just have really unhappy internal organs.

Profile Information
- About Me:
- In 2001 a two week raw cleanse turned into a six month lifestyle change. Although I didn't keep it up I remembered how great I felt eating raw. In late 2008 I did a juice fast which has turned into a long-term raw lifestyle. I probably eat about 80% raw and I love it and feel great!

Raw Food and Appetite
First off, on Friday I got a bunch of people together to go see Food Inc. There ended up being over 20 people at the movie, some of them raw, some of them trying to be vegetarian, and some not concerned with what they eat. While the movie was interesting there was no information in it that was new to me. However some of the people who went who were not at all concerned with what they eat told me the next day that they are thinking of going vegetarian. So that is a huge success!

Bachelor Party and Caravan of Dreams
An old friend of mine is having a bachelor party this coming weekend. He was actually the one who introduced me to raw food back in 2000, but even though his fiance is vegan he has since slipped and given up on eating raw. This weekend he is having a very, very long party. From Friday evening to Sunday evening. Way too long for me to party for, not that I really "party" much anyway.
The party kicks off on Friday night with dinner at a steakhouse in Brooklyn followed by a night of clubbing. Igno… Continue

Clearwater Festival and Subsequent Detox
This weekend I volunteered at the Clearwater Festival which conveniently was right in the town where I live. Clearwater was started by Pete Seeger in the 1960s to raise money to try to clean up the Hudson River.
Volunteering is a lot of fun. They feed you from Friday night through Sunday night. There are volunteers dance parties on Friday and Saturday nights, plus there was an acoustic jam Saturday night in the camping area. As a volunteer you get to camp… Continue

Recipes
Recipes seem to work backwards from how I think. With a recipe you see a recipe you like, you put the ingredients on your list and then you make it. When I go shopping I find produce that looks good and then I try to figure out what to make with it. Sometimes I get home from the store and I have a bunch of random ingredients that I need to try to figure out what to make with. What do you make from an eggplant, a pineapple, dried cranberries, mushrooms and zucchini?
I wish that recipes worked mo… Continue

It is so nice to know Charles' twin-in-drag is having fun!
Hi April,
We get a fair number of applicants, and it varies all the time.
It is absolutely NOT required that someone be raw for any length of time. What is required is that someone be truly open and coachable.
This is paradigm-busting stuff bas...
loving yourself, seeing the divine in all.. being true to your soul, being alive and vibrant, joyous and greatful.. beauty is like a state of being, an energy which knows no material limits
haahahah i know that my friend :)
How come we have to say something when someone sneezes but not when someone farts?
Pretty interesting. It was hard to tell what he was for and against though, haha. I would hope to be in as good condition as him when I'm 91..... or better :j
Ah, true!? Do you normally get a ton of applicants Loren?
wow thats hardcore what religion? did you read a lot of books?
thanks markus I want to get the meat out too but that would be awesome for a quick and easy drink, i want one
You probably were just paranoid.
Thank you for telling her "God Bless You." Nice to know manners and politeness still exist. Keep spreading them. =)
I guess if you think of it as eating raw as what God intended, and makes us the purest version physically of what were meant to be, then maybe it is a way to get closer to God and clear away the distracting mess of sickness, and the hormone and em...
Here is Part 4 to the Stanley Bass interview. Many people have asked me what I think about this interview, I will be posting a video reply in my next episode after this one.
