Hi Everyone! I am currently enrolled in a public speaking class, and on Thursday we have to give a 5 minute speech on how to do or how to make something, with emphasis on the benefits of what we are teaching provides. I want to do something about raw food, since I can emphasize that it’s superior health wise, more environmentally sustainable, and you can save on your electric bill! I just need some ideas on what to teach/show people cuz I am in a rut! Please let me know if you have any ideas!
I didn’t know garlic could be considered as toxic and I am glad I read this thread. I will think twice before having some from now on.
And I regret that some people are so agressive towards others on this forum. Why that? Every one is free to agree or disagree, this shouldn’t be a problem.
soy is simply NOT food. it’s poisonous raw, causes all sorts of hormonal imbalances. the japanese cook & ferment it to lessen some of its poor health properties. but it would be like trying to tinker with cotton to make it into food (which is happening btw). there is also word that non-GMO soy does not exist.
BUT, unless you are making ANY nut/seed mylk from scratch it’s NOT raw. almond milk, hemp milk, anything in a carton, has been pasteurized and/or made from cooked nuts. so you’re not only getting cooked food, but it’s cooked fat, which is not great. if you don’t mind something cooked, rice milk is a good alternative.
hemp seeds are absolutely available raw in the usa. maybe your health food store can order them for you if you are interested. they only come shelled, for the reason you mentioned earlier.
the cheapest mylk you can make or buy though is banana mylk. just whip 1 banana, a few cups of water and some ice cubes. cinnamon and all the usual flavorings are great. it’s so creamy and refreshing.
Thank you TreeOfLife for the new thread, and your answer on the other one. 20 bananas!!!! you are my hero lol I am happy your teeth are better, what a fine dentist you have.
Kait, it sounds very good!
I still need four meals at least, but I am a beginner. This morning an entire watermelon, it was a small one (4 kg the whole fruit, 600 cal), but though it’s good performance for me. I blended and drank it, that helps. Now I am with a huge papaya, tomatoe and lettuce salad. I hope it’s ok with the tomatoe, I added it because the papaya didn’t taste very good (this is not the best period for papaya). Well my objective is to eat at least 2000 calories, I will work the combinations later on.
It’s not the freakish, shrill non-answers she gives in the few not-quite interviews by not even close to journalists. It’s not the hard core fundamentalism, sugar-coated to create an illusion that she supported her unmarried teenage daughter’s “choice” to carry her fetus to term, when she would have insisted on it regardless—even if the father was her husband, who had raped her. After making her pay for the sex assault kit. And firing anyone who sought funding to cover the costs for said rape kits.
It’s not her inability to avoid sounding like a malfunctioning former beauty pageant contestant robot when responding to questions about serious topics around foreign policy experience—by regurgitating talking points about mavericks. Like Senator McCain is a maverick, Charlie, and like world peace, like, such as.
It’s not her strong affinity to pastor Thomas Muthee and the Assembly of God Church, parading their tragically comical “former gays’” for whom all powerful God, apparently in between warding off evil, car accident-causing witches, is able to cure of homosexual urges, although seemingly incapable of curing their limp wrists. A sad testament to the inefficacy of lisping in tongues.
It’s not her Greta Van Susteren moistening1 husband, the “First Dude” of Alaska, Todd, wrecking the Tundra while the underage kids binge drink and snort Oxycontin, nor the precision with which she was able to strong-arm the supposed father of her child’s child, a self-described child-averse redneck, from a carefree hockey playing teenager into a brooding, neutered mute destined to loathe and resent and blame Bristol for the rest of his life for her mother’s commitment to someone else’s at the expense of his.
It’s not the over-amped, amphetimine fueled, slightly manic data dump that all but immersed debate moderator Gwen Ifill, who McCain suggested had racist intentions based on her writing of a book about Obama, perhaps in an unsuccessful attempt to distract those of us who remember his buddy, Don Imus, referring to Ifill as a “cleaning lady.” McCain would make sure Sarah wasn’t intimidated by any nappy-headed hos2. Anymore than he would refer to his wife, Cindy, as a cunt.[3]
It’s this freak of nature. The anti-Christina of Feminism. This aw shucks automaton that will earn Tina Fey an Emmy, and elevate the ratings of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, gives me the chills in ways I don’t quite understand. The notion that after nearly eight years of George W. Bush, America still believes that they’d rather have a President who they could knock back a beer with than one who might be able to string together a coherent sentence. The Tits on the Ticket personification of America’s racist undertone, allowing the narrowest of minds the perfect conduit to get away with voting for the bitch rather than the nigger and still look progressive.
Sarah Palin has managed to undo years of feminist progress, despite intelligent arguments to the contrary by the likes of Camille Paglia. Whether it’s the Black movement, the Women’s movement or the Gay Movement, the ultimate mark of progress is demonstrated by a new generation at liberty to simply accept and demand the rights and freedoms they deserve without any appreciation of the blood, sweat and tears sacrifices made by the activists that came before them. Sarah Palin could pursue her ambitions – from pipe playing beauty pageant contestant to Alaska governor – unapologetically without playing the victim card. Good for her. But make no mistake, Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton, Benazir Bhutto or Winnie Mandela.
Her interviews with Katie Couric of CBS News set the bar for the one and only Vice Presidential debate so extraordinarily low that the fact that she didn’t sound like a lobotomized drunk was enough for Pat Buchannan to declare that conservatives across the country were heaving a collective sigh of relief, and the rest of America to declare her performance a success. But, as Maureen Dowd pointed out, “she dangles gerunds, mangles prepositions, randomly exiles nouns and verbs and also — ‘also’ is her favorite vamping word — uses verbs better left as nouns, as in, ‘If Americans so bless us and privilege us with the opportunity of serving them,’ or how she tried to ‘progress the agenda.’”
The problem is not how low Sarah Palin set the bar for the debates, however. It’s how low she has set the bar for the Vice Presidency, and given John McCain’s precarious health and age, the Presidency. Contestants for American Idol are given more scrutiny than Sarah Palin’s vetting process and subsequent media access combined.
As we head into the final stretch, Sarah Palin has transformed into an attack dog, zoning in on Obama’s supposed ties to 60s radical William Ayers. “Our opponent … is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,” Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colorado. “This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America. We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism.” As the increasingly heated crowds become more racist, violent and threatening with every utterance.
A strange strategy, given Palin’s own dubious ties with the likes of pastor Thomas Muthee, or her links to the Alaska Independence Party that wanted Alaska to secede from the United States.
In response to her less than adequate performances, particularly with her Katie Couric interviews, Palin stated: “The Sarah Palin in those interviews was a little bit annoyed. It’s like, man, no matter what you say, you are going to get clobbered. If you choose to answer a question, you are going to get clobbered on the answer. If you choose to try to pivot and go to another subject that you believe that Americans want to hear about, you get clobbered for that too.”
No, Ms. Palin. You aren’t being clobbered for answering a question. You’re being clobbered for the pivoting. The notion that you somehow know better what American’s want to hear about as opposed to the Americans asking you the actual questions.
In the days leading up to the election, we are not going to learn anything more from Sarah Palin. She will continue to regurgitate talking points that contradict others she has made – less government, but more oversight, a fresh, energetic start that excludes an old Washington insider like Joe Biden, but not John McCain, Obama’s inexperience compared to her ability to see Russia from Alaska – and it’s the best we can expect from her.
Say it ain’t so, Sarah! There you go spewing talking points again like a senile Arizonian senator… Now, doggone it, let’s answer just one fucking question and tell Americans who and what the hell you are. You mention this imaginary media filter, and I’m glad you did. They are a pathetic bunch. But with your genuine belief in evil witches and the Flintstones, a little clarity from you is not asking too much now, is it? God help us. Our reward for your ascendancy is in hell, right?”
My only fear, and this is why Sarah Palin gives me the chills, is that for America, this inadequacy masked as mediocrity may just be good enough.
FOOTNOTES
(1) In perhaps the most embarrassing interviews ever aired, setting female journalists back a good few decades, Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren interviewed Sarah Palin’s husband, Todd, gushing like a nun at a prison rodeo, with in-depth, probing questions like “Go back to this ‘First Dude.’ I mean, who came up with ‘First Dude’? It’s a great name. I mean, who came up with ‘First Dude’?’ This, at a point where Palin had expressed his refusal to comply with a subpoena in the unfolding Troopergate scandal – the firing of the Public Safety Commissioner for the State of Alaska, Walt Monegon by Governor Palin. On October 10, 2008, an independent bipartisan commission of the Alaska Legislature cocluded that Palin had abused her power.
(2) Following the suspension and then firing of radio personality, Don Imus, from ABC and MSNBC respectively, after he referred to the Rutgers basketball team as “nappy headed ho’s,” John McCain was one of the few politicians to stand behind him, and was the first to appear on his new, albeit, castrated radio show.
(3) Cliff Schecter’s book, The Real McCain, recalls an incident in front of aides and consultant Wes Gullett in which McCain’s wife Cindy joked about his thinning hair. The ever even-tempered McCain is said to have responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.” McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day. The generic excuse for Cindy’s tolerance is also known as hydrocodone.
Does anyone know if you can eat pumpkin seeds from a pumpkin? The white kind? We baked them when I was a kid and ate them and I dehydrated some last night. I had a patient that ate a lot of unshelled sunflower seeds, A LOT!, and got a bowel obstruction and eventually had to get surgery. You wouldn’t believe the smell from this dude. I have been thinking lately that nuts/seeds are blocking me up. I made RAWvolution’s nut stuffing and it tasted great (really awesome!) but I had gut trouble after and I think it was the large dose of nuts.
I read this in my mom’s Women’s Day, so who knows cause that magazine is ridiculous but the article talked about medium chain fatty acids and something about how it promoted weight loss and they had some fad diet thing. Anyway, I think it’s a good fat.
how about some raw choc truffles, you could load them up with hemp, gojis or whatever. Once your pals have tasted the bliss there will be no need for words, they’ll most probably be clamouring for more info.
Just realised that event has come and gone, hope you had fun!
Oh I haven’t tried the sunflower seed milk, I will have to give it a go! Thanks!
Is the hemp you use roasted? The only hemp seeds we can get in the US are roasted to kill them, as live hemp seeds and plants are illegal in the US. And an 8oz back of even the roasted seeds is like $8.
I made a smoothie out of Living Harvest vanilla hempmilk, a banana, and cinnamon last night…SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD!
Sorry to hear about your mom. I don’t know anything about that specific condition but have you checked it out on this website: http://www.curezone.com/ it’s usually a pretty good resource for natural remedies and cures. I hope you find some help. What does she eat, is she raw?
Yes, I have sprouted hemp seeds, ground them with water an vanilla and raw honey and it tastes like a living version of soy milk. You can strain it or not. And, yes, there are other seeds you can use.
sid23 I heard about the plastic coffin thing like a year or 2 ago. I think I recall hearing (from a military person) that maybe they were shipped to use in the military for unfortunate troops that didn’t make it, as temporary transport for the remains, something like that. There are quite a few military bases near here and alot of troops ship in and out through Atlanta, so that would make sense to me.
Zoe I would but I sincerely doubt the Target folks would even know! Target’s like a slightly more upscale version of ASDA. I definitely won’t be buying it again though! On the bright side, they did have reasonably priced organic kiwis and a few other fruits.
I haven’t found making hemp milk that expensive. I have been making it recently and it doesn’t take many hemp seeds to make a batch of it. If you buy the seeds in bulk it is quite reasonable I think
Also sprouted sunflower seed milk is really lovely and very cheap. Have you tried that yet? It really surprised me how creamy and tasty it is.
BOOOOO!!! That stinks. Anyhow – when you freeze them, do you thaw at room temp or in the fridge and how long does it take? Any change in nutrition, texture or flavor after freezing? Thanks!
