Have been a vegetarian for 3-4 years now and seriously considering going raw. I need more information, and advice since no one in my family still doesn't understand my current diet. I am a student and have a very strict budget.

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
1) How can I afford this lifestyle change on a tight budget? I live at home, and am a waitress, and a college student.
2) I live in MA and as the winter months approach, how can I make this diet work for me?
3) My family doesn't understand my vegetarian diet, and I'm afraid when I do decide to become HCRV they will no accept my choices, and give further criticism. They are traditional, and don't understand anything/anyone who differs from what they know. I've been vegetarian for 4 years, and they still insult/criticize my choices.

Molly- Hi there fellow Massachusettsian :) I am over in the Northampton/Amherst area. I wanted to assure you that you can afford this diet. I am doing it with no problems. I am saving a lot of money on not going out to eat or going to bars. I have been HCRV for almost 6 months now so I have had to do a winter yet but we can do it I'm sure. As far as what your family or friends think about your diet choices- don't let it bother you one bit. All you have to do is go on the path. You will look great, smell great, have more energy then ever before, your eyes will shine, your aura will be undeniably brighter and your friends and family will notice. It might take some time but they will come around. Good luck on your journey!!!
