Well, I haven’t posted before but thought it would be a great way to be more involved. I went raw 2 years ago after my son was born and it was amazing the way I felt especially since I’m not exactly a young mother. I let bad habits slowly creep back into my life and all of a sudden time has flown by. Life is too short to waste my time not feeling the best I can. I found the raw food lifestyle after my mom went through breast cancer stuff. I started doing research and reading alot of information and thanks to the great internet found living foods. It is so simple it just makes sense. Now if I can just stick to it long term. I grew up on a dairy and my mom was addicted to chocolate. Yeah, meat, potatoes and dessert!!!!! Anyways, Nice to meet you all and look forward to some good conversations and recipes. P.S. I live here in sunny Arizona…by the foothills of the Superstition Mountains.

    Welcome! If you’re lucky enough to live in Arizona, I hope you’re going to take advantage of the Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona! I haven’t been raw for very long, but I’ve been vegan for four years. For me, focusing on the ethics of veganism is the best way to stay on track. I found that it’s easier to do something for someone else than is it to do it for me. I think about the animal that gave its life for that meat or egg or milk and I know whatever momentary pleasure I might get from eating it isn’t as real as the peace I feel by saying “no”.

    Hi, welcome! I hear you on the meat, potatoes & dessert history. Long before I ever heard of the raw foods lifestyle, I realized (once I was living on my own & buying my own food) that I felt much better when I didn’t eat meat for every meal, and when I moved back in with my parents, my mom had a fit because her food was always good enough for me before! Like I was being disrespectful because I told her I feel better not eating so much meat. :)

    Thanks…..It really helps reading all these. Plus reading all the good food ideas helps when I’m hungry. They all sound so good it’s easier not to eat SAD. Now I am drinking a smoothie with berries, grapes, banana, pear, parsley, spinach and hemp. Sweeeet!!!!
