I would love my morning to start with "I ran through a rambutan orchard" instead of I drove through traffic on Sunset Blvd. You crack me up! I love it!

I feel the basis of a statement like that is the Fear of being Wrong and admitting that a better way may be available. I had this feeling when i transformed from Veggie to Vegan and then from vegan to raw and then from Raw Vegan to 80/10/10Rawvegan.

Yeah agreed the fear of being wrong is a big part of it. A lot of my friends come to me and ask, "So you think this is the way every one should eat?"

I always say, "No, eat what makes you feel good. During, after and long term." If you come off with an attitude like your way is better, then not only are you kind of admitting to the fear of being wrong and setting your self up. You're joining that never ending battle of what people should do and what people should not do. I prefer to stay on the side lines of that battle, just my personal preference. lol.

Recommending self empowerment to people is always a must. The more people who truly know how to listen to their bodies and be introspective the better! For the longest time I ate crappy food just because a lot of people around me did, and I didn't want to feel like an outcast. That's no way to live. :(

I'm new to raw. I do feel amazing since eating raw food, my skin has cleared up my digestion has gotten a lot better. But I to have come across a lot of articles that say that raw in the long run isn't the best way to go; produce less HCL, if your not careful may become nutrient deficient. I'm sure with any diet it's easy to become nutrient deficient, if not careful. I've read that that we should still eat at least one cooked meal a day, to keep producing acid. I do feel better eating raw food, but it's hard when I hear conflicting information.
