"You've got lots of info to check out, I'll add that I recall reading in Ani Phyo's book, uh, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, that she feeds her dog raw and vegan. She had a recipe and a solid paragraph or two about it... Pictures of her dog too, who looked…"

"I liked reading that a lot of you don't really wash your lettuce... 
It's funny, the reason I asked, was because I recently found a couple very small but very fat and slimy slugs deep in my lettuces, and thought *eeek* I wonder how many of those I…"

I am lazy.  I prefer buying those 3pk bags of romaine hearts, organic, whenever on sale I will... I suspect they are rinsed with a bleach or chlorine rinse and of course are not as fresh as a head of lettuce. I just don't like washing lettuce. But…

"I don't know about that... My baby and I were/are vegan and I still breastfeed her and she's nearly 3. She has been growing like crazy since she was 1 week old has consistently been in the 90th percentile weight AND height since birth. Never rolls…"

"Today was my first day after months off/on high raw always vegan but not stricty 801010....

Ok well I just finished those dates, there were 19 of…"

"Ew 3-4 days? That is quite disgusting.. I think that disuades me from cooked food more than anything else I've heard or read yet!
I'm doing good with at least 1 L of water upon rising, but drinking 20 mins before meals isn't something I've done... I…"

"Thank you :)

I have had only 3 bananas so far, and I feel VERY unwell. I have this uncomfortable bloat thing happening and am drinking tons of water hoping to move things along my digestive tract but so far I'm just peeing it all out again.

I've been eating 8-1-1 low fat, high carb, high calorie raw vegan (phew what a  mouthful!) off and on since the end of April 2012 now.I've been struggling for various reasons, mostly affording enough fruit and having enough RIPE fruit - so I would…
