Eating Raw – New or Old?
October 29, 2009
I was just reading another blog post which was talking about going back to eating the way you were brought up. She was saying that we are most likely apt to return to the eating habits we grew up with.
Well, I can agree that happens in some cases, but in mine, it’s actually the opposite. I grew up eating meat every night (and a lot of red meat at that) . We also had dessert after supper every night. A treat was Chef Boy-ar-dee pizza (a box with all the fixings to make a pizza.)
I ate a lot of candy growing up. We had a store around the block from our house that we kids walked to and bought our “penny candy.” I loved Mary Janes! Ok, now I”m dating myself:-)
It was when I moved out of my parent’s house that I started to eat differently. I began eating more fruit, yogurt and salads. Now, today, I am eating a high raw diet, juice daily and rarely eat sweets.
So, with me it was kind of a “360″ turn around in eating habits. What about you? Are you eating mainly the same or differently than what you grew up on?

Eating Raw in the Cold Weather
October 16, 2009
How do you do eating raw in the colder weather? Or do you live someplace where it stays warm all year?
I’m in New York, and snow is already in the forecast:-) I notice, that as it turns colder, my desire for a warm meal really increases. Suddenly thoughts of spaghetti and soup make their way into my mind. I also know Dr. Furhman says that soups and stews are a good thing, because the nutrients from the vegetables go into the broth, so as long as you eat all the soup (broth and contents) you will be getting a powerhouse of nutrients.
I know this is normal, but I would really like to eat as much raw as I can, even through the winter.
Do you have any tips or wisdom on how to handle this? Please share.
