yeah tastes chamically to me too. weird cuz its totally natural but yeah it does. ifound when i grew the fresh plant that the bigger lower leaves when i ate them fresh tasted a bit more palatable than the smaller newer leaves. they tasted "greener...
hmmm. personally i wouldnt go with the goose-down pillows, unless i had collected the goose-down from my yard when it had been naturally shed by geese or ducks... i dont seem to be able to sleep well with any down materials, i feel like they give ...
doesnt taste good either. nor does kelp or especially bladderwrack. too bad :( cuz they are really mineral rich. but they seem like they would be hard for your body to break down they are so tough and rubbery. the only seaweed that seems to me to ...
hey are you talking about stuff you picked fresh off the beach/rocks, or stuff that comes in a package? my fresh stuff looks and acts nothing like the stuff that you can order online.... it doesnt absorb water like that one does, etc. i was intere...
Danny--its a seaweed, a certain type. you can google it to see what it looks like. its not a moss that grows in the forest or on land. it grows on the low-lying rocks and intertidal pools. if you are near the coast, you can also find dulse, kelp, ...
It is super rubbery. You would have to be really determined to eat it raw. I don't think it would really chew- it would be more like swallowing chunks. If you were really hungry or had a thyroid condition, or wanted to protect yourself from radiat...

How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
really seek community and support, particularly in my geographic area. looking to connect with others who are on the same "wavelength"; i.e. into raw vegan foods, organic gardening, sustainable living, etc and also those who are vegetarian or vegan for ethical reasons
Relationship Status:
Single
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
DATES (esp. from The Date People). I could eat pounds of 'em :p oh yeah. and parsley. but not together ;p
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
animals (esp ponies,) and animal rights, anything OUTSIDE, growing (and eating ;) ) beautiful, healthy food, sailing (but only the little topper boats, the ones with the risk of tipping over...I find the other ones NO fun), walking with my pup (boxer) on the beach, spirituality/theology and philosophy, natural beauty, natural stuff and natural living (I LOVE natural materials i.e. wood, stone, etc.), meeting and hanging out with other raw fooders and/or vegetarians and vegans and making good food :) . Im also interested in and a bit intrigued by things like energy healing, tachyon energy, alchemy (i.e. ormus gold and that sort of thing), but also skeptical and a bit frightened. I think the world is so much deeper and richer than we realize and I would love to understand these potential forms of healing/etc better (but I do NOT believe in the philosophy of things like "The Secret."
Favorite Books or Authors:
Dominion: The Power of Man, The Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy (Matthew Scully), Heart of the World (Hans Urs Von Balthasar), WENDELL BERRY, David L. Schindler, Andrew Linzey
Favorite Quote:
"Compassion can only attain its true breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind," (Albert Schweitzer(?)) and "God's love affair with the flesh does not end with the human species,": (Andrew Linzey)

wow that is so crazy! i cant believe they burn that trash! why are people so thickheaded???? i dont understand! Its just pure laziness! So i guess no where is perfect, but its definately a step up from this place! Atleast people get free college in ireland! hahahaha
i love your comment! we can be mad together :) you know whats funny? i just realized you live in ireland! that is so awesome! my boyfriend and i went there for vacation in october last year, and let me tell you something girl, i dont know if youve ever been to the united states, and if you havent, DONT! When we came to ireland, we were so unbelievably amazed! and youre probably like"oh whatever it sucks here" like most people say about where they live, but omg, everything is so clean and fresh and amazing! the animals arent on factory farms!!! they are hanging out enjoying their life on a damn mountian! We went to the gas station, and literally, im not kidding you, what they had to eat there would be considered at least 4 star food here!! It was so different, i want to move there so bad and get out of this hell hole. even the american products were different....im talking RADICALLY different! Capri sun here is like a package of nasty sugar with artifical "fruit" flavors and dyes. The capri sun there is pure orange juice!! what is that!!! thats awesome! hahaha. Im getting so carried away right now, sorry haha. Anyways, i just wanted to say thanks for the comment on my blog and im glad that makes you mad like me. and also, ireland so rules.
So funny!!! I just popped on, see your profile pic. Love it! Is that from the trip you took a few months ago? You look like quite the traveler. (And your dog looks fine from what I can see!) xoxo Eva
That is unfortunate that you aren't a bit closer! I'm also an American grad student, etc. living out here. How long have you been in Ireland? What's the story?
hehehe....the source of this energy?...lol....it's the source of all energy. nothing to be scared of. but you can be if you want to be....8^))...it won't hold it against you.
Watch all three nights online. Some great info was given, but seemed like it was all about getting people to buy more and more products. All I know is that they made a TON of money.
I irrigate my nose with salt water after almost every shift. I use a little bit of salt with my toothpaste every now and again. My silver fillings are pretty stable and I've noticed a metallic taste in my mouth whenever I use salt so I don't. Clov...
I believe that the body can heal itself if given the support. I'm a nurse in a nursing home and I've seen the body cling to life no matter how much poison is thrown at it.
Sounds ridiculous to me. Anyone actually older and experiencing longevity there? I doubt it. I live out in the country in the general direction of God's fart zone and perhaps that's better than getting caught up in this sort of materialistic stuff...
