Desperate for Dressings!

2014-05-25T20:10:56.000Z

Hey everyone, I love salads with tons of veggies, but I have not found a good low fat raw vegan dressing that I like. I used to do creamy asian dressings, or balsamic vinegar. I'm not really digging just lemon juice and I've tried blending up peppers and celery and spices but I can't find a good tasting combo! Recipes or ideas??

I need help finding a good blender.

What is the best blender that I can afford?

I really don't have very much money (broke student) but my blender is on its way out and it was never a very good blender ):

A Simple Change Of Diet Can Take You A Long Long Way! :)

2013-01-12T01:18:29.000Z

Back when I was sick, I reached the point where nearly every muscle in my body had wasted away. I couldn't walk, I couldn't sit up, I couldn't even lift my head. I was on the brink of death.

As I recovered, after changing my diet, I had to relearn to do all these things, and it took time, patience, and a lot of hard work and commitment. But just how far I've come!

This last summer I swam 7km with ease, went hiking all the time, often walking for 20 or 30 miles just for fun. I dance every week, run, and for my 2013 challenge am learning to do the splits!

What I'm trying to say is that a simple change of diet really can take you a long long way. I would never have believed just how far! And if I can do this so can you :)

Eat fruit for health and happiness!

Childfree: To Have or Not to Have: That is the Question

2010-12-27T05:44:46.000Z

Childfree: To Be or Not to Be: That is the Question

Childfree is a term used to describe individuals who neither have children nor desire to have children. An alternative term is childless by choice.

The Childfree Movement refers to individuals who have consciously chosen not to have children, and not just those who cannot have children do to infertility.

There are many possible reasons people choose not to have children which can include personal, political, and or environmental:

Are afraid they may not have enough patience to be good parents.
Genetic health issue that could be passed on or interfere with childcare
Political issues: Wars, persecution
Not enough money to raise a child in their environment and situation
Environmental: The earth does not have enough resources to support more humans at our current rate of consumption. The human species has infinite material desires, but live on a planet with finite resources.
Want to commit life to a cause such as taking care of the poor and orphaned children, animal rights, and or environmentalism.
Enjoy living a life without offspring and do not want to commit to raising a child as this would affect their lifestyle.

In the US and or Western Culture, we live in a society where having large families is promoted. TV programs are promoting big families. Stars like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are getting a lot of attention for their big family, but at least they have adopted most of their children. Then there is John and Kate plus Eight, and Octomom who has a total of 14. The Duggers have 19 kids and counting. You have a big family, you get to go on TV, collect charity and free diapers, and welfare.

But the reality is most people with kids do not fare so well.

While Americans are against teen pregnancies, and many people still wait until marriage or their thirties to have kids, there is a pressure that a 35 year old plus woman should be giving birth and not just because her biological time clock is ticking. One might already have a few kids, but if she refuses to have more, she is called selfish.

If any of you have chosen not to have children, please give a shout out as to how and why you came to that decision and what social repercussions you might have faced.

Also, do you have any advice for people who are considering not having children?

Just like going 811 Low Fat Raw Vegan is a radical idea to many of our family and friends, so is the decision not to have children or limit our families to 1 or 2 kids.

Thanks and Peace, PK

Getting your greens!

2009-05-21T12:25:50.000Z

Hello All!I'm new here, and new to this lifestyle, as well. Yesterday was my first day attempting to 811 it. I had no problem filling myself up with fruit, but when it came to getting my greens and coming up with something satisfying for dinner....well, I was at a loss. Honestly, I am not looking for gourmet here, just something that tastes good enough to stomach. Something to fill me up, fuel my body and beat the cravings.So all of that being said, please help! I really want to be successful at this and feel my best. Any and all tips are welcome and so appreciated, but in particular I could really use some suggestions for dinner or examples of what you guys are eating at night...my nighttime cravings seem to be the WORST!Also, at least for the next couple of days I'm trying to keep the fat to a minimum or not at all just as a cleanse. I was feeling very weighed down, heavy....
