Profile Information
About Me:
Hola! I am in the midst of transitioning from a cooked vegan diet to a raw one -I'd say I am about 85% raw if I had to guess. I lived in Costa Rica and moved back stateside in June. I am from Miami and am a spiritual, happy open-minded guy. While I am rather clean-cut in appearance, never judge a book by its cover. Something tells me life would be even happier and easier if I was involved with people (friends or romantic) who ate pretty much the same way; thus I am requesting the same from the universe. And also requesting someone come my way that inspires me in a new business - I am open to relocate anywhere...as long as it gets some sunshine!

Hey, I am headed to Sarasota this coming week for the national ultimate frisbee competition, and was wondering if you knew of any raw spots in that area. I will prob just go for lots of fresh fruit, but was curious if there were any established restaurants or anything. Let me know if you know of any please! Thanks

CANCER: c/o Rob Breszny
Soup is your metaphor for the week, Cancerian. Symbolically speaking, it's the key to your personal power and a model for the approach you should take in everything you do. On the most basic level, you might want to eat some soup every day. That will make potent suggestions to your subconscious mind about how to mix lots of ingredients together so that their value and beauty as a totality are more than the sum of their parts. Not just in the kitchen, but in every area of your life, blend many little miscellaneous things into one big interesting thing.
Hey G, Looks like you've really been around and blessings on your fabulous raw journey. I see you've been in Costa Rica, I live there now, so if you ever want to return, please look me up. emrivkin at gmail.com
Hi! So sorry I missed your mail... Unfortunately, I didn't make Vanessa's event. I've yet to make it to one of her parties, which is absolutely ridiculous, given how much I love her bars and chocolate in general. Did you go? Are you here in NY?
I too am doing the same thing with my food eating vegetarian and starting with more raw, Would like to make more friends that are doing the same. I am living in Naples and coming over to Aventura to stay and going out in Miami with friends that live in South Beach on the weekends. This weekend I am staying home for I just got back from there and just feel I need to take it slow so the following weekend would love to meet you and make a healthy new friend.

Hi G Love,
So great to meet people of non-violence and pursuing peace and sharing and love in live. This community of "Raw" people is ah-ma-zing!
Love your philosophy of treating animals the way they deserve it! I adore the animal world with compassion that makes me cry. And Gandhi is all about non-violence to thy self first and foremost.
The best in your pursuing of your dream. Follow your passions.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi there,
I've found lots of conflicting info too :o(
Here's one video I found:
Please let me know if you have found any new info. I have heard they are irradiated and/or dipped in chemicals before being imported. I know you can buy organic th...
Well, I never wasted away and actually feel that some of my deficiencies from poor digestion are turning around. But while I am getting the calories and nutrients I need, I sure do need to eat a lot! I often think of animals, like goats or rabbits...
Victoria Boutenko is our very special guest for November on The Raw Food Radio Show.

Mr Monarch has TWO important questions for Victoria... Are you 100% Raw and if so, why do you carry extra weight?
YEP! ...
Many people out there are becoming vegans, raw foodists, and vegetarians under the guise that it is healthier for them. Is it really healthier to being vegan though and are vegans/vegetarians being thrown the ookie doke by large commercial interes...
You could make an avocado chocolate (or carob) mousse but sweeten it with stevia, so you'll only be getting the fat and not the sugar.
Or you could make a green smoothie (or a regular, non-fat smoothie) and freeze it into sorbet:-)
Cool! :) Yeah we had a nasty pile of compost, I'd work it into the soil with my dad when he planted the veggies
LOL! Oh yeah the CA police! Making sure Columbia doesn't get too funky!
Have you tried hicheya Persimmons?
Be sure they are super-mushy ripe.
Just cut the top off and spoon out the lusciousness.
Too, banana icecream with frozen bananas , maybe a lil agave nektar and a nice caremelly sauce made by blending dates and w...
The diet is mostly cultured, raw veggies and non-starchy veggies. The remaining 20% consists of either a protein or a starch (but never eaten together).
It's strict in many ways. The goal of the diet is to not feed yeast in the colon, and to heal...
