Profile Information
- About Me:
- There used to be so many closed and narrow doorways in my life. I've come to realize now that there aren't even any doors to begin with and that whatever I ( we, if you choose to believe so ) we walk into is anything I want it to be. A location devoid of negative emotions - but still circulated in the air around - and one that really, truly and genuinely feels connected to everything around when focused on the positive healing energy of interconnectivity. We're all connected in some way, regardless of what the emotion is, good or bad, happy or sad, erudition is at the root of it all. I've experienced many beautiful scenarios in the short time that I've been here and never would I have thought that I'd be where I'm at today. It really is lovely how the pieces fit together. I currently work as a Raw food chef in Toronto at LIVE, I eat nearly a hundred precent raw - I do enjoy a great Dahl or a tasty pasta and admit that I have an addiction to bread but am slowly cutting it out of my diet. I have found - for me personally - that this is my optimal diet. I was pretty overweight at one point in my life and i've been battling with Epilepsy since I was sixteen. However, after losing a hundred pounds, becoming vegan and slowly incorporating a raw diet - and a lot of yoga, I've nearly cured myself, nearly. There are also many avenues and paths of my life that I'd love to share with people but can't nearly fit them all in a box with descripitve words, some experiences can't be said but can be felt or seen.
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- I've never been a part of an online and positive community but I feel that this place is a well grounded hub for people such as myself to stay connected. I don't know too many people who are "into" the way I live my life, which is more than fine because I get alont great with these people. But I don't want to hold back any potential for continuing growth in mind, body and soul so that's what I'll achieve through this community.
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
- Coconuts, Cacao, Kale, Hemp, Tomatoes, Avocados, Deep dish raw pizza, cakes and pies, sushi, wraps... so much to choose from!
- Interests (outside of Raw Food):
- I've been practicing yoga heavly now for three years. I really resonate with the principles in what is known as Ashtanga. I used to play drums in a professional rock band, toured briefly through the states and recorded a few albums. I also love to play guitar and sing, really any instrument has a way of taking over my platform. Gardening is a great, can't wait to start planting and taking care of the vegetables this season! I'm a very active individual, I love to run, canoe, kayak, rock climb, hike and would love to go horse back riding one day. I snow, skate and surf - I've only been surfing once and parts of me really want to move to a climate warm enough to support that activity year round. I also love to experience new feelings and connections.
- Favorite Books or Authors:
- Bill Bryson, Nick Hornby, Mitch Albom, Thrive diet, Rainbow green-live-food cuisine, spiritual nutrition - haven't read all of it yet, to many to name.
- Favorite Quote:
- If you breathe in chaos you give off chaos. Be the change you want to see in the world. You get what you give. Love what you do not what you didn't do.

Criminalize Organic Farming Bill HR-875
A call to arms needs to be taken. Essentially, the United states government is trying to nationalize the agriculture industry. By doing so they will be creating a monopoly and a set "standard" or rules and regulations that all farmers have to abide by. The idea is to regulate farming procedures to 'eliminate' the risks of food borne diseases and bacterial outbreaks such as E.coli. This will be carried out by using only GMO seeds, select pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers et cetera all of which… Continue

That is a good point Angus. I have found that a lot of fundamentalist religions accuse everyone else of worshiping the devil and it like a blind hysteria- like all these other people have a black bible in their house and secretely worship a statue...
That's brilliant Angus, thanks....this will keep me busy for a while :)

Yeah really that was just my negative response to Arnold Ehret's book from an emotional standpoint. I just found it lacking in completion. There's good logic in it though.

What other book can you recommend Angus?...staying with those kinda ideas, living in alignment with nature, natural hygiene, fruit diets, fasting (or anyone else :).
You know, I'm aware that we made some groundbreaking discoveries in recent years ...
I'm not going to comment on climate change. But i will comment on carbon trading. Because they can produce such a consciousness of fear out of global warming - they are able to manipulate markets much more severely - and they seem to get away with...

I LOVE LIVE! its my favortie restaurant, and was my first exposure to raw food.
so thankyou. i'm not all raw now, but i want to get there. i also have been inspired to become a vegan raw chef, im looking into places like Living Light Culinary Arts Institute for training possibly. i was just curious what your experience of becoming a chef was, and any adivice?
Ever have days of silence? This guy inspired me to not speak for a few days; I fasted from food at the same time and can't express the nothingness - and therefore complete fullness - that I experienced during that time. Check out this video:
