How do our food choices effect us and others?

It’s a funny thing when you stop and think about it; our food choices and how they effect us and those around us. The spark for this article was a friend conveying her concern to another friend of mine. It was all third hand but didn’t make it any less real for me. I am [...]

Trigger Foods: What are they and why do the effect us?

Nasty things, Trigger Foods. I am speaking from experience here. I have read multiple other accounts of people experiencing similar problems with certain foods.

Right now I am [...]

Being Defined by Your Food Choices

I am going to take this opportunity to discus something that I recently experienced for the first time. I went on a trip to visit my sister with my mother. My sister lives out West so it was a long plane ride and as I am sure most of you raw foodies out there are [...]

What keeps you raw?

Right now I am sitting here at work (I know, shame on me) listening to Jim and Wendi Dee’s interview on Lets Talk Raw. I have been listening to a lot of Revvel’s interviews the past couple days – I think I needed the motivation. Revvel is amazing! She does wonderful interviews and includes the [...]
