When you are more experienced you may even be able to sense a non raw product merely by its energy vibration when its in your hand.

I can also sense when someone who says they are all raw is actually happy with that or whether I have to be careful that they don't just reach out and grab my small piece of cheese that I might have with my large salad!

You will feel a strange compulsion to post random comments all day on raw food websites -- an exercise in mental flatulence, to be sure -- but at least it will keep you from running with scissors or playing in traffic.

It's all thanks to 80/10/10. Low fats = big humor. Doug talks about it in his book, although you have to read every fourth word backwards.

I have a different relationship with other people coz of my rawness...I never used to get asked maybe 2-3 times a week by strange men "What are you going to do with all of those cucumbers?"

I often go shopping in the evening so I can catch the organic stuff when it is reduced and I swear the supermarket is stuffed full of single men looking to pull!! They always comment on my trolley and the contents of it, and then the checkout person asks me a load of questions and looks at me like I have an eating disorder.
My husband has made me some business cards with out raw food website address on it and I will hand it out to people in the supermarket so they know what the deal is!

Another observation is that I now groan loudly with pleasure when I am eating: a handful of spinach, a peach, an apple etc, this also gets some odd looks lol!!

That is a great idea about the business cards Zoe! I also like to eat salad with my hands now and enjoy food in a different way- Once you learn how to make raw food and get over the transition hump so to speak the rewards are amazing!

I too have a guilty concience when selecting which shaped cucumbers or carrots to buy. Its as if people think that there is no way you are going to be eating them!

pete and zoe - yep yep...the guys working at the co-op look askance at me when they see me picking the biggest, firmest cukes...and i've been known to buy 10 or so in one go...

the supermarket and the bookstore seems to be popular places to hit on the ladies.
