Any Raw Vegans in da house??!?!

I used to be, but the apparent health benefits were only temporary. You really need more protein in your diet. You should check out the extensive research here:

Not just the protein, but FAT. There are good fats, and bad fats. People focus on the bad fats and label all fats as bad. Plus, FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS!

I like westonaprice.org for diet info.

 

[theczar1776]

i am not raw but a vegan, and my lunch consisted of hot dogs and potato chip veganism is more about ethics than health

How one chooses not to eat meat is a mystery.

They're the best. I've been a member of their organization for several years.

My teeth are pointy for a reason!

A delicious reason.

oh brother

 

[Perry]

If God hadn't intended for us to eat animals then why'd he make them out of meat?

Wow! That's a visual!!!

Well, my teeth are definitely not pointy (but my cats' are). I have been studying the raw food movement and am incredibly impressed. I have a great, growing library of books by the best: Gabriel Cousens, David Wolfe (ALL of his books), Victoria Boutenko (most all of theirs, too), Juliano's RAW un-cook book among other un-cook books, and a host of DVD's as well (Gabriel, DW, etc.).

I do, however, "favor" David & Yemiah favor for information and products but do also belong to and spend time on David Wolfe's www.thebestdayever.com forum. There's just soooooo much info there that it's difficult to ever feel like you're making a dent in any of it.


Being from Wisconsin, you can only imagine how difficult it is to try and achieve a RAW lifestyle, but I'm definitely moving in that direction. I was having so many set-backs that I decided to give up cooked and all processed foods for lent. (Being Sunday, I had a bunch of crap today!).

If you're looking to share info and/or encourage each other, I'm in for a RAW vegan buddy, Truth-Bringer. My family gets a lot of super-foods but they do get cooked and hubby is a big time carnivore (but his teeth aren't pointy, either).

I like to stab my food to death with a carrot, that way it is more sporting for the animal and I know the food was not infected with disease. -- I'm just kidding.

Genetic defect?

I don't mind a raw diet as long as there are no parasites in the flesh. Parasites are a bummer.

 

[DamianTV]

The reason Im a v'gen is not because I love animals, but rather because I HATE PLANTS, however contrarily, I do love animals, they're delicious!

I'm almost three weeks raw today.

I didn't decide to do it because I object to eating
meat or anything though. I did it because we're
all being poisoned by the chemicals in processed
food. It's lowering our IQs and making us obese.

The FDA is poisoning our food, then they're selling
us prescription medications to mask our
symptoms. Have you noticed how many medication
commercials they've been running lately?

I munch on raw animal intestines, spit them out and then eat mystery eggs as part of my meat-heavy omelet.

 

[McDermit]

why do people always act like dicks as soon as a question about veganism pops up? No one asked whether you think animals are delicious.

A little tact and respect never hurt anyone.

Makes me feel superior that I can mock an idea and it's supporters.

Yes, sometimes I have to cry myself to sleep, out of remorse, but... it's an addiction. *cries*

Thank you for these links. I am very new to this, but already seeing wonderful results from modifying my diet to mostly raw food.

I had already stumbled across the intentional negative aspects of water fluoridation while reading Borkin's 'The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben' while researching WW2. Couldn't believe what I was reading and had to followed up with three other books before my myopia began to lift and I bought an automated distiller off ebay. Definite serendipity my meeting people off this board who were very knowledgeable about the practical applications of a raw food diet and its benevolent implications--a new study for me.

I think a closely watched raw foods vegie diet is very healthy.

I do worry about protein issues, but rice and beans will get that.

I feel another important thing I worry about is herbs. Eating raw like this is going to taste terrible ultimately for lack of flavor. I think herbs are important for flavor and health. There are like 27 anti-oxidants in Thyme alone. So herbs can be healthy too.

Because they feel threatened. Nutritionist have found that Seventh-day Adventist who eat mostly a vegetarian diet lives on average of 11 years longer than the average population. Why? Because their healthier.

Read this GREAT article from the NYTimes Jan 07. A favorite of mine.
