Profile Information

About Me:
I have been raw-ish for about a year--I have gone back to more cooked foods upon learning (in September) that I was pregnant. I'm obsessed with finding consistent, clear, detailed information about a safe, raw prenatal diet and it continues to be an ongoing search.
A raw food diet makes more sense to me than any other type of lifestyle.
Relationship Status:
Married
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
avocado sushi, chocolate avocado mousse. Anything with avocado.
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
neuroanatomy & neurophysiology, excellent fiction (genre: magical realism), cats, karoke, dance/theater performance, energy work, human stress response reduction, environmentalism, reduction of global hunger/poverty. Soon, though, my main interest will be our first child, due in May.
Favorite Books or Authors:
A Revolutionary Way of Thinking (Krebs), The Diving Bell & The Butterfly (Bauby), The Glass Castle (Walls), The Time Traveler's Wife (Niffenegger), anything by Michael Moore or David Sedaris
Favorite Quote:
"The most important thing about your job is who you're becoming while you're doing it"

"Well, We All Gotta Die Of Something..."

I fail to understand why more people are not passionate about health and vitality. I don't mean this in a snippy way, but in a sincere one. When people learn my age, for example--they're surprised. "What skincare products do you use?" I'm asked over and over again. "A six dollar jar of organic, vegan skin cream," I say. "But I used to use really expensive products--and my skin didn't look like as it does now." When I mention that I don't eat meat, dairy, or eggs and that I eat a lot of raw food,… Continue

Progress Where Least Expected

Today I signed up for childbirth education classes at the local hospital and to my utter delight I was asked "Will you have a partner attending with you?" My husband and I have lived in this area about a year and a half and, while everyone has been very friendly, it's been an adjustment. I was thrilled to find a vegan restaurant here. But still, it's a pretty conservative, beef-eating kind of town--and we moved here from a very progressive area.
But hurrah--here in the deep South (I'm a Sou… Continue

Magical Realism... that's a great way to describe 100 Years of Solitude. It's a beautiful book. I read a lot by Marquez after that, but it remains my favourite.

Hi there! A few of my favorite films are Super Size Me (of course), Baraka, The Future of Food, The Corporation, The Princess Bride, Cold Comfort Farm, Lars and the Real Girl and March of the Penguins. There are many more, but those are off the top of my head.

Hi! Feel free to email me if you have raw questions... I am 5 months pregnant with my 2nd, and I do eat some cooked food too, but have done a lot of learning about raw and pregnancy, so might be able to offer info for you to check out if you're wondering... I've been into raw for 6 years.

I would encourage you to eat oranges instead Vampi. Whole food is always best. Oranges are a perfect food; lots of sugar, and lots of fiber to slow down the absorption into the blood stream. Take out all the fiber and you've got a blood sugar spik...

since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps. ...but...

Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno

Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)

I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.

Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided. Though someone once su...
