OK, OK - so I'm a Johnny-come-lately to this thread. Saw it on your page, Rebeka. Just had to say, the phrase you used above, "everyone is meant to consume some..." ...fill in the blank...... - is always a big red flag. Don't fall for it. Only you...

I want to know if you can be a raw vegan or at most a raw beegan for life and still be healthy

I have had weight issues for most of my life. So when I went raw, I cut down more and more on animal products and at the time most of the raw community agreed that being raw veegan was ideal healthwise. I really need some objective responses narrowed in on diet.

I started to eat eggs and dairy again (not raw) forgive me. And I have gained weight. I know I'm allergic to dairy. And I am starting to see that people are advocating and supporting consuming animal products in order to be healthy. I a… Continue

WHy can't we all just get along- too much war in the world for raw wars

This is about raw wars. Stop attacking people just because they're primal raw meat eaters, vegetarians, fruitarians, vegans, 811rs and so on. There is a common thread that we all hold, the thing that makes us all intelligent and full of purpose. We all care about food and how we live to influence the planet in a good way.

There is too much war in the world. We should stop bickering about food since it's equal to fascism and totalitarianism. It's not just about the food it's about consciousness… Continue

A dentist in my class doesn't support organic and I want your opinion

Right now I'm taking a dental assisting class. We covered a nutrition chapter in class which supported the consumption of organic foods. My instructor asked the class if there was a corrolation between the hormones in conventionally raised meat and dairy and early puberty in children. I said that there is a correlation since they do inject the calf with hormones so it can grow faster in a short period of time. To which one of my classmates commented, "We all have hormones."
I tried not to debate… Continue

No one cares what you eat. It only matters to you what you eat

I have read Dr Gabriel Cousens, David Wolfe, Victoria Boutenko, Dr Weil ( I know not raw), Dr Douglas Graham in addition to countless other authors who have published books on dieting and nutrition. I have been on and off diets ever since I was 16. Raw foods is unique in that it was a whole lifestyle overhaul and something that finally worked but it wasn't automatically the perfect diet.

I know I talked about raw nuts before but some people on here believe that if nuts are 100% raw and organic… Continue

Got Nuts???? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT NUTS.

I started my raw journey official on january 2008 and I am still continueing on this raw path. So many raw books preach about one extreme or another. I am not knocking them its just the fact that they are either REAlly Low in FATor really high in fat. When I ate a lot of nuts my physical energy and stamina wasn't at its peak so I went back to cooked foods.

I really wish I had known now what I didn't know when I started. NUTs except for coconuts don't have the proper nutrients to balance out the… Continue

You're welcome! Don't be afraid to experiment:) It took me awhile to find what worked for me- one thing that helped me was connecting to others on here who had similar issues and body type as me and hearing what worked for them (I noticed patterns).
Then I was able to better make progress:)

"Contemplating what nourishes my soul in conjunction with the needs of the planet and the human species"

This is a powerful statement we all should meditate upon.

Thank you, Rebeka for adding me. How is raw life-journey shaping up for you?

Love and Peace..
Krishna

Thanks Rebeka! I appreciate your compassion and honesty! I have a lot of respect for your foraging and your honesty... You are so right. There is food all around us, if we know how and where to look. I need to learn more about the less common edible plants for sure.

Thanks for that Foxy! Here is another video where a scientist talks about his work sampling ice cores that shows elevated levels of cosmic dust in the polar ice caps. Iridium and gold is at a lot higher in the cores.
