That was very enjoyable to read. During my vegan years, it was ridiculous how co-workers steered all social conversations into what I was eating that day. Now that I’m raw vegan, my friends and family look at me with raised eyebrows, waiting to see how my health fares and if I lose the weight I need to lose. We raw foodies will forever be nutritional guinea pigs for those on the SAD diet, methinks. I don’t mind though, ’cause I’m feeling great.

FYI got REAL RAW Almonds? We are making a group co-op buy for OG’s low as $7/#. Also I have chipotle which I cold smoked and dried waiting to be ordered for rinding.

Sorry for giving you another request but Do you also know how to make rawvegan fries?I’ve been trying to make it but it’s hard when ever I dehydrate the potatoes it doesn’t look like fries anymore and doesn’t taste like it.

Russel I also think it’s not a fad being rawvegan.I’ve been raw vegan for over a month and thought it wasn’t really hard but the problem is I’ve been craving bagels.Do you know a recipe that can look and taste like bagels?I don’t think anyone has came up with it yet but I think your smart enough to figure it out.It’s ok if you haven’t figured it out i’m just a curious 15 year old trying to see if rawvegan bagels are possible.

Great Post, Russell! Anyone that does rawfood or any other special way of eating knows exactly how the feeling is that you wrote about.

Thanks for sharing and making a whole lots of sense!

Hi Russell
I reckon you are line for reward from ‘The Universe’ for this wonderful blog, which
must have inspired a lot of your readers! It can sometimes be a bit wearing having to explain and sometimes ‘defend’ our choice to put good raw materials into our bodies. But I have found over time that simply being a living testimony to the raw diet softens any negative attitudes towards it, and people do then start to ask (positive) questions. As I’ve seen you in the flesh, Russell, I know you are an excellent living testimony! Someone I know kept saying how worried she was about my diet. After a few months of comments I did become a little exasperated, so said to her, ‘Look at my skin, my hair, my teeth and my eyes. Do I look unhealthy?!’ There were no more comments after that. As you stay, Russell, just sticking to the diet (so they know YOU believe in what you’re doing and it’s not just ‘one more diet’) and showing them that not only are you not wasting away but the very opposite is happening, will get people thinking, and in that way we can ‘be the change’! Very best wishes.
