Hi Carrie,

I am male, 41, and single, and I live in Perth, Western Australia.
Soon I am hoping to be 100% raw food vegan. I am not quite there yet.

Hey RawAussie and MangoMan,

So what interested u in raw foods? I'm not 100 but i try and eat as much raw food as possible. Its pretty cool having an australian based raw site, some of the other forums are good (livingfoods etc) but they are usually american-based. Music is definetly my number 1 too. 2. Sunshine 3. Family and if theres a number 4. Tropical fruit!

What kind of music are u in2 mangoman? Ive been to the gold coast and surfers but not to the sunshine coast yet. Its definetly in the better part of oz 2 live!

hey all

I jus found this site, and yeh it is pretty choice having an Aust raw foods forum.

My brother & I started reading bout raw foods and natural nutrition 3 or 4 years ago, the more we read, the more we fine tuned our diet ect. At one stage we were really into it, and hell-bent on outliving anyone else, lol.

Nowdays, I'm 19, ryan 17, and I've moved down to wollongong, while ryans still up in Coffs Harbour finishing off yr12. I moved south to work at the steelworks, while I do uni. I lived by the beach all my life & love diving, love growing my own food & medicinal herbs, & my ultimate change of lifestyle would be to live on an island in the tropics eating coconuts & durian, in between dives... lol i'm sure i'd get sick of it. either that or live with the Hunza's, where i'd probably freeze


cheers

Hi Carrie

If you're in Adelaide, you might want to say hi to Durianrider (and his raw housemates Will and Dan) or Janita. They're all great people worth getting to know and can introduce you to a whole blossoming raw Adelaide subculture that seems to be growing.

We're looking forward to hearing about the first adelaide raw picnic sometime soon!

Cheers


Piers

Not that i'm excited or anything,oh LOL.
Piers,are you and Sheryl still venturing across?Hope so,don't forget to let me know when you are organising something,would love to be in on it.
From the peaceful and chilled out SAAaaaa!!

Hello Paquita!
There is a very in depth chapter on pregnancy and raw vegan food in Concious Eating by Gabriel Cousens. I feel this book is one of the best I've read on raw/live food, as G.C. is wholistic in his approach.
You are doing a very cool thing, very inspiring to know there are people out there thinking /living outside of the square!
Peace  :roll:
Dmetri :D  
 

thanks Dmetri and Janita,

A picnic would be great, it would be good to get the SA raw foodist together and share info and recipes etc!

Dmetri, Where did you find the Gabriel Cousens book? internet? bookshop? because I would like to read it.

Thank guys for your positive messages.

Paquita
