Raw Lau

Day 9 and I’m feeling fine! I’m enjoying all this raw food and the research I’m doing because of it. I came across this today and love it! “The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods, and bee vomit. And once a year during a certain holiday in November, […]

I’m one week in, and I’m feeling awesome!   I hate to admit it, but even I asked, “But where do you get your protein?” when a friend informed me she had gone vegetarian four years ago. I just blurted the question out, without even considering vegetable protein. That’s how ingrained the FDA’s 5 Food […]

This established the British colony of New South Wales and the site of the city of Sydney. (Thanks Google.) Today we spent the day on the […]

Good morning! I’m starting my day with a blended green drink, or a Sludge Smoothie. Drinking vegetables gives my body a greater concentration of instantly usable vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, and chlorophyll than if I was to chew my veggies because my body can absorb them more easily and quickly when they are broken down.
