where O where has the raw vegan gone? If there's wisdom in it, best sift it out for us, because it's also packed with meat and cooked foods themes, regardless whether there are references involving the concept of Organic.... Here's some Wisdom, .... cooking renders organic minerals and other living essences which are organic by virtue of being unprocessed.... these are rendered INorganic by cooking..... Nonorganic except as a shadow of how they were produced with minimal chemicals/processing, ... only to be Subjected to the Dramatically unhealthy consequences of what heat does to food. There's a whole science to this, which is missed if you follow all the tangentizing concepts that cooked food eaters rely upon to sort of reMojo energies back into what had lifemojo already (or was not the best choice to eat in the first place because it couldn't be eaten raw).

Geez! I can't imagine feeding three people on only $300 a month on any diet!!

I do keep track of my expenses in Quicken--every penny I spend gets entered and categorized. I'm raw for 6 weeks now and am afraid to look at the total, to tell you the truth. I will soon because I do need to know. I've been organic as much as possible for several years, though, and I can say that my food bill just for me alone is probably close to $600 or even more than that. I buy avocados, nuts, seeds, some specialty products like raw, organic maca, cacao, coconut oil, etc. I buy my salads at the salad bar because I like a wide variety of ingredients and if I buy them separately, I can't possibly use them all up by myself.

I still don't have this down as far as how much to buy for one week, how long things will last before spoiling, etc. I'm still buying too much and throwing some of it out. Sad to say. I'd love to find a cheaper way to go. I'm sprouting in my kitchen to the best of my ability--still kinda floundering around with that. I live in a very small urban apartment with no place to grow food unless stuff would grow in one small window with morning light. My orchids do very well there.
