Email Wal-Mart link.

I sent my book to Anderson Distributors and they declined carrying it! Probably too much good RAW Truth! They carry and distribute Carol Alt's Eating in the RAW so I assumed they would carry mine, but my book RAW IN TEN MINUTES has super spiritual and edgy information! Anyways if we ALL e-mail WAL-MART and tell them we WANT and DEMAND RAW IN TEN MINUTES in their stores and that Carol Alt's Eating in the RAW is in their store and online already! If enough of us e-mail WAL-MART then they will HAVE TO carry RAW IN TEN MINUTES! I want to reach out the the Mainstream and to people who have no idea about RAW so that they can learn, benefit and enjoy it like we do already! We NEED TO MAKE RAW MAINSTREAM and accepted and my book is and can do just that but it NEEDS TO GET INTO WAL-MART which is middle America and processed foods! They NEED RAW IN TEN MINUTES so please do your part by e-mailing WAL-MART using the above link, so we can heal and create peace and harmony from WITHIN the system! Thank you so much! All my profits and proceeds goes into making RAW Mainstream and having people get awareness and access about RAW and also investing in RAW organizations and groups! I have invested in: http://www.Rawfriends.com http://www.Rawhike.com , Living Light School, http://www.Gardendiet.com and many other RAW Groups and people because I want RAW To succeed and for ALL of us to make it!

- Junk Food Giggles
We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the special was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99. "Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs." "Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her. "You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" my wife asked incredulously. "I'll take the special."
"How do you want your eggs?"
"Raw and in the shell," my wife replied. She took the two eggs home.

Hint: It's a fruit.

-Random Joke of the Month
Have you heard of the garlic diet?
You don't lose much weight, but from a distance your friends think you look thinner.

-What is the difference between fruits and vegetables?
In 1893 the United States Supreme Court tried to clarify the differences between a fruit and a vegetable by saying that vegetables are eaten as part of the main course of a meal, but fruit is eaten as an appetizer or dessert, or for a snack.

But as with so many words, there is one definition, which is correct according to the dictionary and another one which people use in everyday life. Sweet corn, for instance, is eaten as an appetizer, but most people would consider it a vegetable.

In botany, a fruit is the ripened ovary of a plant. (The ovary is the part of the plant where the seeds are kept.) So, strictly speaking, an acorn is as such a fruit as an apple. But, if you went into a store and asked for fruit, the store-owner would not offer you acorns. When we talk about fruit in everyday life, we mean the juicy fruits like apples, grapes, oranges and melons.

Vegetable' has even more meanings than "fruit". The word covers any kind of plant life, even including trees. But, again, in everyday life vegetable means food like lettuce, carrots, cabbage and sprouts.

-Raw Food Poetry by De Vie

The Voice of Ginger

I am the voice of Ginger
I have a rattling sound
I shoot up from the ground

I am a warm fire
Bringing sensation to your extremities
Protecting you from any imagined calamities

I am the courageous love in your throat
More a love laugh than a love note
I give you what you ask for

I am the voice of Ginger
Making a new human out of you
The new vision we make to show through.

-Fruit of the month: Mango
The mango originated in Southeast Asia where it has been grown for over 4,000 years. Over the years mango groves have spread to many parts of the tropical and sub-tropical world, where the climate allows the mango to grow best. Mango trees are evergreens that will grow to 60 feet tall. The mango tree will fruit 4 to 6 years after planting. Mango trees require hot, dry periods to set and produce a good crop.

Top 10 Raw Protein Foods! by Alex Malinsky

Below is a list of some of the most highest concentrated raw foods in assimiable proteins!

1. Hemp Seeds
2. Goji Berries
3. Sprouts
4. Spirulina/Blue Green Algae
5. Pure Synergy
6. Maca
7. Avocado
8. Figs
9. Sprouted Nuts and Seeds
10. Greens and veggies

1. Hemp seeds contain all 8 essential amino acids for adults, plus three other amino acids that are considered essential for children and infants . Almost two-thirds of hemp protein is made up of edestin, a globulin protein found only in hemp seeds. This makes hemp the superior source for this protein in the plant kingdom. Edestin is a type of plant protein that is similar to protein found in the human body, and thus is perfectly suited to aid in meeting the body’s cellular needs such as DNA repair. Read more...

Did you know? Hemp Protein Powder is produced when whole hemp seeds are cold-pressed to expel the oil, leaving behind a dry “cake.” This cake is then milled at low temperatures to remove some of the fiber and produce a concentrated form of protein. Cool, huh?

2. Goji berries, sometimes called wolfberries, are perhaps the most nutritionally rich fruit on the planet. Goji berries contain 18 kinds of amino acids (six times higher than bee pollen) and contain all 8 essential amino acids (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). Goji berries also contain up to 21 trace minerals (the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus). Read more...

3. Sprouts are living foods, easy to digest and filled with enzymes, proteins, complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Everything your body needs in a form that your body can use! Sprouts are economical, easy to make and nutritious. Sunflower, kamut, hemp, quinoa, and bean sprouts are some of highest in protein.

4. Spirulina is a blue-green algae containing complete, balanced protein and a wide range of valuable nutrients. Spirulina is approximately 70% easily digestible protein. It contains 18 out of 22 amino acids and all of the essential amino acids, making it a unique vegetarian source of complete protein. Better yet, Spirulina protein is 95% digestible compared to meat sources, which are often difficult for the body to break down. In fact, beef protein is estimated to be only 20% digestible. Spirulina is a wonderful way to consume high quality protein that's easy on the body. It contains enzymes, which naturally assist in the digestion process.

5. Pure Synergy is a remarkable nutritional supplement for your vitality, health, and total well-being blending Nature's finest and most potent superfoods -- algaes and organic green juices, freeze dried herbs, oriental therapeutic mushrooms, plant enzymes and phytonutrients, and natural antioxidants. Very high in protein!

Did you know? Pure Synergy ingredients are organically grown or wild crafted, seasonally harvested, fresh freeze-dried/ cold dried or cold ground, tested over 200 times for purity and packaged in recyclable glass.

Raw Food Vegans Thin But Healthy, Study Finds

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People who adhere strictly to raw food vegetarian diets are thin but have surprisingly robust bones, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.

Although nutritionists and the food industry have warned that a diet without dairy foods can lead to the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis, the team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found the vegans they studied had many of the signs of strong bones.

"We think it's possible these people don't have increased risk of fracture but that their low bone mass is related to the fact that they are lighter because they take in fewer calories," Dr. Luigi Fontana, who led the study, said in a statement.

"Raw food vegetarians believe in eating only plant-derived foods that have not been cooked, processed, or otherwise altered from their natural state," Fontana's team wrote in this week's issue of the Archives of Internal medicine.

"Because of their low calorie and low protein intake, raw food vegetarians have a low body mass index (BMI) and a low total body fat content. It is well documented that a low BMI and weight loss are strongly associated with low bone mass and increased fracture risk, while obesity protects against osteoporosis."

Fontana's team studied 18 strict raw food vegans aged 33 to 85. All ate a diet that included unprepared foods such vegetables, fruits, nuts, and sprouted grains. They had been on this diet for an average of 3.6 years.

Raw “Will” Power
A true story by Roen Horn

I lost my spleen in a bike accident when I was 9. Before then, I never really took care of my health more than the average kid (which isn’t much), or thought twice about what foods I ate, and if they were really doing my body any good. But, after my operation, when the doctor told me that my immunity to disease was at risk without a spleen, everything changed from there. I didn’t want to “make up for” my missing spleen with a wide array of different drugs and vaccines; I wanted to find a natural, healthful solution. And that’s exactly what I did, despite being faced with much adversity and trials. This “turning tragedy into triumph” story really brings meaning to the phrase “you have to get worse before you can get better”.

Faced with the alternatives of vaccines, which I had, in recent years prior to the accident, begun to suspect were other than natural and healthy, I began to search for ways to increase my health and immunity, naturally, without drugs. By the time I was 14, I was well on my way to positive change. After lots of reading on the internet I started to experiment with my diet. I first became a vegetarian, then a vegan, and surprisingly, soon enough, became a raw foodist at age 16, eating a high percentage of raw foods that have not been cooked or heated, excluding all processed foods. I was experiencing a level of health unknown to me. All was well enough, until I read some romantic literature on an even more restricted diet- fruitarianism. The diet called for one to eat exclusively fruits, including nuts and seeds, and botanically fruit vegetables (zucchini, cucumber, etc.) but excluding the actual plant (roots, green-leafy vegetables, etc). Later I learned the true importance of greens. My brother also influenced my decision to start on the fruitarian path with his beliefs in respecting the life of a plant. This is the step in which I took my positive changes of diet over the edge, into a negative and most tragic series on unfortunate events…

Cooked foods vs. raw debated
HEALTH: Some officials caution against the no-cooking lifestyle, but others embrace it
By DOUG BLACKBURN / Albany Times Union

Teshna Beaulieu typically starts her day with watermelon or sliced avocados and cucumbers topped with lemon juice, sea salt and tomatoes. Her beverage of choice is fresh coconut milk.

The East Chatham, N.Y., chiropractor's routine doesn't change much as the day goes along. She eats a variety of salads for lunch and dinner, often adding fresh vegetables or seaweed. She snacks on nuts. Beaulieu almost never uses her oven or stove. The blender is the kitchen appliance she turns to most.

Welcome to the raw food diet. Beaulieu prefers to call it the raw food way of life, because diet implies a weight-loss program. For Beaulieu, who started eating raw foods 15 years ago, and others, it's a lifestyle choice.

"As the years go by I do it more and more. I feel better with it," she says. "When I eat raw food I don't feel tired after a meal. When I eat cooked food, I feel heavier and more tired."

Raw food means exactly that -- almost. Proponents of a raw food diet primarily eat uncooked fruits and vegetables. They also consume nuts and grains, oftentimes made edible with soaking that in some cases causes sprouting. However, raw food enthusiasts use a dehydrator to "cook" certain foods.

Don't heat it, eat it: Raw food is the newest spinoff from natural and organic movement
By LISA ANN WILLIAMSON - Wednesday, March 02, 2005

Elena Balletta is keeping things fresh, whole and raw in her kitchen both at home and at work.

As a pastry chef for Pure Food and Wine, a gourmet vegan and raw food restaurant in Lower Manhattan, the South Beach resident blends sprouted buckwheat, maple and organic cinnamon to make the base for a crispy cereal.

On the dessert menu, you will find apple pie, ice cream, ganache tart and coconut cream pie among the offerings. But you won't find any milk, eggs or dairy items.

You can be sure, Ms. Balletta said, "there's no cardboard here."

Foods are full-flavored and nutrient-rich. Desserts are tasty and guilt-free.

Daily she balances the flavors of seeds, nuts, spices, grains and unrefined sweeteners to make desserts and sweets, like chewy almond crunch bars and a version of brownies from her childhood.

NOTHING IS COOKED ABOVE 118 DEGREES

Her experience at the restaurant, where nothing is cooked above 118 degrees, is linked to the current raw food culture. It's a spinoff from the natural-food movement which is growing in popularity today, and dates back to the plant-based cuisine that first surfaced in various American cities in the mid-1980s.

In New York City, Dr. Annemarie Colbin, along with the Natural Gourmet Cookery School she founded, was a leader in the movement that linked food intake with health. Emphasis, then as now, is put on whole, fresh, unprocessed, organic foods.

Although raw food hasn't reached the heights that its proponents hoped for, the interest in unprocessed foods and organically grown crops has grown dramatically in the past decades. Organic farming has increased by 30 percent in New York State. And, an ever-growing number of major food manufacturers are enticing consumers with newly developed, true-to-nature products.

Ms. Balletta has long been a proponent of the health aspects of food and of being a vegan. She chose that direction in her culinary training and now she's involved in it within her professional career.

In her spare time, she experiments with recipes. Recently she worked on a lavender/walnut cookie and in reinventing the pumpkin pie.

WHY ALL SHOULD EAT ONLY RAW FOODS ALWAYS
By Dr. Bernarr, D.C., D.D.

When food is cooked above 118 degrees F for three minutes or longer, its protein has become coagulated, its sugar has become caramelized, its natural fibers have been broken down, which means it will take longer to move through the intestinal tract, 30% to 50% of its vitamins and minerals have been destroyed and 100% of its enzymes have been destroyed. Cooked food depletes our body's enzyme potential and drains the energy we need to maintain and repair our tissues and organ systems and shortens our lifespan.

Dr. Virginia Vetrano writes about an authority who contends that irritation from putting extremely hot foods into the stomach, can cause cancer. Dr. Vetrano also writes that "Heating any food, destroys much of its vitamin, mineral, and protein content and poisonous inorganic acids are formed. The all uncooked diet is most healthful."

Marilyn Willison, of Hippocrates Health Institute, writes, "We should not cook our food. During this apparently harmless process, vital enzymes are destroyed, proteins are coagulated (making them difficult to assimilate), vitamins are mostly destroyed with the remainder changing into forms that are difficult for the body to utilize, pesticides are restructured into even more toxic compounds, valuable oxygen is lost, and free radicals are produced. According to Viktoras Kulvinskas, nutrient losses can be as high as 80% or more. Other studies suggest that cooked proteins (coagulated) are up to 50% less likely to be utilized by the body."

Dr. Francis M. Pottenger Jr., wrote about his experiments with 900 cats over a period of ten years. Pottenger fed some of the test cats raw meat and other test cats, he fed cooked meats. Pottenger wrote, "Cooked meat fed cats were irritable. The females were dangerous to handle, occasionally biting the keeper..." The cooked meat fed cats suffered with "pneumonia, empyema, diarrhea, osteomyelitis, cardiac lesions, hyperopia and myopia (eye diseases), thyroid diseases, nephritis, orchitis, oophoritis (ovarian inflammation), arthritis and many other degenerative diseases."
