In his earlier days Davis Wolfe encouraged raw fooder to give up a lot of seedless and hybrid fruits like bananas, seedless grapes and watermelon. I dont know where he stands on these issues now though.

 Some raw fooders dont eat grasses or beans. I have a lot of foods that I do not eat. These include vinegar, overt oils, spices, some herbs, salt and soy foods including miso. I am slowly phasing out tahini and nuts, excluding almonds. Nuts are highly acidic in the body and if eaten in excess can rob one of great health. Eaten in moderation they should not present any problems.

.I have been doing some research on the way oils behave once eaten and the link between poor eyesight and vegetable oil consumption. My eyesight improved out of ssight when I limited my fat intake. However it stopped when I raised the level of fats in my eating plan.

The best thing to do id to follow your gut instincts and eat whatever food you desire. You can eat as much as you wish without any ill effects.

Yea ive been subscribed to VV now for roughly 4 yrs now and the raw food talk has slowly, but def increased in it. Tis good

I think making a long list like joanne did, kinda made the raw diet sound as if u end up living on love, or air, or something. Didnt make it sound too appealing, esp to newcomers. Its good its a raw review, maybe better if she had included the long list of raw food go zones and not all the no-go zones.

I bought my first copy of Vegan Voice this week, I never knew of it before there was talk of the articles on here.  Its great!  Fantastic to see Harley and Piers' contributions  x x

From Manna Wholefoods on South Tce Fremantle. They are the only place in perth that sells it. They had the current issue and the one before for sale, so I bought them both. I was going to bring them to the picnic this afternoon for you to borrow!  x x

Michael Franti/Spearhead Fan. Oh hell yes, regard me as a Spearit my friend. I was only introduced to the fine man's music about 5 yrs ago, and thought what the HELL have i been missin! So then i backed tracked and checked out some of his older work to, the stuf with the Disposable Hereos Of HipHopCrisy.

'everyone deserves music' 'all the freaky ppl make the beauty of the world' 'we can bomb the world to pieces, but we cant bomb the world to peace' 'mcdonald eatin, u deserve a beatin' ah the one-lines go on and on ...

Yet to see him live, he's always takin off to the blues and roots festival and not visitin lil SA. I gotta get there one yr too.

He's the one that inspired the thought of dreadlocks in me too, well thats if i get em

Mr Franti balances out my hate the world and everything attitude when everything gets to u, brings me to more of a balance, let a lil love in
