Half a billion eggs? Can't have your cake and etu Brutus!
Brutus...the FDA is supposed to make sure that what we eat is safe. Looks like they can only say ooops on this instance, after completion of The Master Cleanse Diet - I for one can successfully remove eggs from my diet and march quickly to becoming a raw foods dieter!

But What if Your Sweetheart Loves Meat?
The vegetarian culture, especially we as raw foods dieters, is one that fosters a certain "snootiness" because of our insistence on pure raw foods. It is also easy to get a superior attitude because raw vegetarian living is clearly a superior way to live from a health perspective and because so often our reasons for becoming a raw vegetarian is grounded in moral, ethical or religious values. And this is all well and good as long as you are functioning within the raw vegetarian community exclusively.
But what if your sweetheart is a meat eater? If the one you are dating, engaged to or even married to is not a raw vegetarian, that can lead to some pretty delicate moments. The last thing the raw vegetarian movement is about is hostility. So we have to have some guidelines on how to live in peace and harmony if your romantic partner has not joined you in your the raw vegetarian lifestyle.
Of course, one resolution is for your sweetheart to become a raw vegetarian with you. You could go with the argument of, "well if you loved me you would give up meat." But forcing someone to join the raw vegetarian community out of guilt is a terrible reason to make that change of life. Your sweetheart will just resent giving up a food he or she loves and will probably cheat and eat meat when not around you. That kind of tension, resentment and deception is no grounds for a long term love affair.
A better way is to come to terms with your differences, find ways to live with them and then see if down the road, your sweetheart might convert of his own free will. The first step, as is true of any conflict in an intimate relationship, is to talk about your differences openly. Sit down and talk about where each of you is on this issue. Agree to disagree. But also agree to find compromises and not to hold the other in contempt or to mock the other for the life choices he or she has made. By reaching a loving agreement, each of you can allow the other to be who he or she is and the romance can continue as the dietary dispute is resolved peacefully.
Together you can look for restaurants that offer both raw vegetarian dishes and meat dishes so each of you can get what you want. Now you don’t have to go to a restaurant that shouts in its advertising "We Serve Raw Vegetarians!" All a good restaurant needs is a few good menu entries that are raw foods and you can find what you want while your sweetheart enjoys a meat dish. Most good restaurants offer a tempting raw foods salad offering that you can customize so any meat, bacon bits, boiled eggs or even cheese are left out. By working together to build a good list of restaurants both of you can enjoy, you have a compromise for date nights that will last a long time.
Finding ways for both of you to enjoy your diet of choice is a good long term step. But your loved one may have a misconception that raw vegetarian food can't taste good. So make a deal that he or she might try it one night. Then you can put your best foot forward by preparing a sumptuous raw foods vegetarian meal that nobody can resist. But be aware that if you do try to make such a deal, you might have to agree to let your sweetheart try to convert you back to the meat eating world with a sumptuous home made meat based meal. If that is not ok with you, don’t make the deal.
Above all, don’t mock or look upon your sweetheart's choice of diet with distain or disgust. Don’t make the "eww" face each time your date has a hamburger or a hot dog. Come to the point that you can live with meat eaters and not feel repulsed when others eat the foods you don’t approve of. After all, you would not your date to make the "eww" face when you had a tofu burger or a big plate of raw foods vegetables instead of meat. So treat each other with respect and love. Over time that approach will result in the best long term love affair and maybe even see you come to a time when he or she sees the light and joins you in the joys of raw foods vegetarianism.

Fitness and Your Health
Fitness and your health
Why should I start exercising now?
The answer is simple - Physical activity is an important part of good health and can enhance the quality of your life.
Regular exercise can:
* Reduce your risk of heart disease
* Help control your weight
* Increase your muscle strength
*Release everyday stress
* Help delay or prevent chronic illnesses
* Gradually increase your activity level over time and you will see the benefits of your effort.
A good exercise regimen includes : Cardio- Our bodies were made to move around all day long; as children we did not experience any of the tensions and fatigues we feel now that is because as children we were always moving. As adults we do the direct opposite we are either sitting or standing for long periods of time, our muscles tense and become sluggish and tight. After a cardio workout we feel the direct opposite. we feel energized, flexible,blood is pumping through out our body giving it the energy it needs to feel good by supplying oxygen to our cells etc. You feel completely ready to take on anything in your world just raring to go. The benefits of cardio are:
* Weight loss
* Stronger heart and lungs
* Increased bone density
* Reduced stress
* Reduced risk of heart disease and some types of cancer
* Temporary relief from depression and anxiety
* More confidence about how you feel and how you look
* Restful and Rejuvenating sleep
* Boosted energy
* Showing a pattern of good habits for your kids to stay active as they get older
Even though weight loss is the primary goal of cardio exercise at times it is usually not a motivator for us to get up and get moving because weight loss is often a slow gradual process and a physical result; we are more inspired by what we feel rather than what we see. The rest of the benefits listed above are feelings so we need to refocus our ideas and purpose of exercising. our follow up article will touch more on this topic.
Yoga- Is beneficial to the mind, body and soul. The meditative mantras is calming, supportive and cleansing to the mind and soul while the stretches help the body by increasing flexibility and lubricating the joints, ligaments and tendons. The strenuous and non-strenuous Yoga stretches act in an interrelated manner upon the different parts of the body. when done together they work harmoniously to increase flexibility relatively easy.
Stretch- Joint flexibility is the goal of stretching being able to take a muscle through its full range of motion is helpful to our freedom of movement and the relaxation of tight muscles soothes and balances the body making you feel good thus releasing stress in the body.
A schedule that I have found to be very beneficial is: Cardio three times a week, yoga three times a week, and a full one hour stretch one day of the week. However it is always best to stretch before and after any exercises this is generally called the warm up and cool down session of your workout. by Chelyah...

Since we were born to succeed and not fail, we should eat a raw diet?
This is about living foods that you can benefit from to successfully live a better life, lose weight, gain energy, remove toxins from your diet and much more.
With the proper knowledge we can be successful in anything that we love to do, and while some of us never admit that we love to eat - we can be successful with a raw foods diet as well.
Take the journey down the strait path and feed both mind and body something from the living foods...

We were born to succeed, not to fail.

Eating raw...the food of the heavens.
Vegetables are the food of the earth; fruit seems more the food of the heavens. ~Sepal Felicivant
In a raw vegetarian diet, some have thought there would be no room left for fruit. If that's true, then the food of the heavens is definitely missing from a joyful raw foods diet.
Depending on the raw vegan diet enthusiast, fruit may compromise a larger part of the raw foods shopping list; for others it would be the reverse...more veggies and less fruit. The best remedy I'm told is based on taste or constitution...if your body likes it, that's the ticket. Knowledge is the best key for developing a living foods diet and I will be recommending some that I have personally read and others recommended by those who have seen the benefits of a raw vegan diet.
Starting with this one:
How To Do The Raw Food Diet with Joy

Sproutarians...lettuce eat raw
Vegetarianism and raw food enthusiasts fall into many different groups with different theories of what kind of natural foods are best. Most vegetarians eat fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. Vegans eat no animal by-products at all, including dairy or eggs. Fruitarians eat primarily fruits. And some raw foods enthusiasts eat only sprouts.
Sprouts are very nutritious living foods because they contain all the elements a plant needs for life and growth, a central focus of some raw vegan diets. The endosperm of the seed is the storehouse of carbohydrates, protein and oil. When the seed germinates, these become predigested amino acids and natural sugars upon which the plant embryo feeds to grow. This life force we eat is filled with energy which is capable of generating cells of the body and supplying us with new vigor and life. For this reason living foods like sprouts can retard the ageing process.
Sprouts contain goodly amounts of male and female hormones, as well, in their most easily assimilated form. Research shows that raw foods like sprouts are among the highest in vitamins. They are not only a low cost living food but are also tasty and easy to grow. Children and the elderly can make sprouting raw foods a profitable hobby. All of us can profit from the added boost to our health that they provide to any raw vegan diet.
Almost any seed, grain or legume can be sprouted for a raw vegan diet, though some are tastier than others. Some may try mung beans, alfalfa, wheat, peas, fenugreek, chickpeas, radish, fennel, celery seed, etc. These are most readily found in natural food stores. Remember to soak small seeds only for 4 hours and beans for 15 hours. You also can mix these seeds, making them into a living foods vegetable melody. Get a 2 liter wide-mouth jar and a piece of cheesecloth or old nylon stocking to fasten as a cover with a rubber band. Put seed into the jar as follows:
2 Tsps alfalfa, 2 Tsps radish or fenugreek, 1/4 cup lentils, 1/2 cup mung beans. Soak these seeds for 15 hours and drain the water. Afterwards rinse and drain well twice daily for about 3-5 days. If you wish to make larger amounts of sprouts, so you may share with others, place 2 cups of mixed seed into a large porcelain pot, in the bottom of which holes have been drilled for easy rinsing. Simply place underneath the faucet and rinse morning and evening with warm water. Cover with a plate. The seeds grow beautifully and abundantly in a few days and there we have a main staple for a living foods raw vegan diet.

Raw vegan recipes and diet is not rocket science, right?
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein
Do we really have to geniuses to realize the incredible benefits a raw vegan diet can do not only for our own health, but the health of the world?
No, I don't think so....
Take time to transition to raw vegan recipes and see, feel, and hear the difference. Did I say hear? Yes, your friends and family will tell you about the good changes the see from eating raw vegan recipes.

Vegetable-made bones? Lettuce eat raw....veg-e-tales from the bright side.
One farmer says to me, "You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make the bones with;" and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying himself with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle. ~Henry David Thoreau
So a raw vegan diet is not nourishing enough for humans, only animals can benefit from a raw diet? You mean to say that a varied diet of raw vegetables versus say what a cow eats everyday - grass cannot produce a healthy outcome?
A closer look seems to prove the contrary. Cows and other animals that are on the raw diet that nature intended, no meat at all have actually outnumbered carnivores of every kind for thousands of years...
With the new year right around the corner why not see if the diet that has made 300 pound cows is of any serious real benefit...prove the naysayers wrong. At least until they start shouting....lettuce eat raw!

Have you looked at what you eat...lettuce eat raw
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
Henry David Thoreau
A close friend asked that one day, do you see what you are eating? Is it live, full of energy and nutrients?
Never came up with an honest answer to that question. How about you, what would your answer be?
Raw vegetarian recipies have guided thousands to be able to answer yes! Eating dead foods actually drains energy, cutting your lifetime and enjoyment of a healthy lifestyle.
What do you see on your plate now?

Lettuce eat raw...to live!
Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat. [Lat., Esse oportet ut vivas, non vivere ut edas.]
Cicero (Marcus Tullius Cicero)
Among the amazing benefits of a raw vegan diet is you are actually eating raw living foods...food that gives life, not taking away your energy just through the process of digestion.
Cooking food tends to rob the food of it's natural nutrients, and makes it more of a task to digest what has been prepared - raw foods aids digestion with the natural nutrients still available to nourish the body and the mind.
A raw vegan diet does benefit both mind and body, can your current diet continuously revive, replenish and support the daily challenges placed before each of us?
