In to every great movement some drug seems to enter in to the picture to disempower the participants. The drug of choice in the raw food movement seems to be raw cacao. Highly addictive, with an endless shelf-life, often made in to packaged treats that include clogging coconut butters and lethal lecithin, I have personally noticed that when I eat cacao, I start to look depleted very quickly.
20 Ways to tell if you are addicted to raw cacao:
1. You have raw cacao every day, sometimes more than once.
2. You blog and twitter about raw cacao daily.
3. You think you aren't addicted but you can't stop eating it because it gives you energy.
4. On days when you don't have raw cacao, you feel tired and lethargic.
5. On days when you don't have raw cacao, you feel foggy-brained.
6. You eat more and more raw cacao all the time.
7. After eating raw cacao you experience heart palpitations, increased heart rate or a pounding heart, and continue to eat it.
8. You can't sleep at night when you've eaten raw cacao that day.
9. You stay awake on raw cacao all night more than once a week.
10. You stay awake on raw cacao two or more nights in a row.
11. You feel dizzy after eating raw cacao, but continue to eat it.
12. You get migraine headaches from raw cacao, but continue to eat it.
13. You will leave your house just to buy raw cacao.
14. You eat raw cacao regularly and are gaining weight in tummy region for no good reason.
15. You eat raw cacao regularly and have lost interest in greens.
16. You kick raw cacao and then feel like its OK to eat it again.
17. You eat more than two tablespoons of raw cacao at one sitting.
18. You look depleted after eating raw cacao, and continue to eat it.
19. Your emotions become topsy turvy when you eat raw cacao, but you don't stop.
20. You realize raw cacao is bad for your body, but feel that you should be allowed one addiction, if its raw.
I had an amazing epiphany. I think that I'm just coming to a real awareness of what the Raw Vegan Diet is. It really did not matter that much to me in my twenties. I felt fine but everyone around me felt pretty good also for the most part. I kind of coasted through my thirties with no real awareness or connection between the Raw Vegan Diet and my over all health. My forties were pretty much the same I just felt really good, but for the most part I was focused on my art career. It wasn't until I hit my middle fifties that I began to realize that something really strange was happening. I became a Raw Vegan in 1972 and after my initial excitement the novelty wore off and because I was catching so much heat from everyone around me I just stopped not only talking about it but even thinking about it. I just mainly did it out of habit.
Now that I'm in my 57th year I'm really starting to think that maybe this Raw Vegan Diet might be the fountain of youth. Scientists will tell you that there is no scientific basis regarding any of the claims made by Raw Vegans and in a way they may be right. But in order for them to do long term testing if the Raw Vegan Diet is valid or not it would take anywhere from 50 to 100 years of testing groups of people and animals. In short all of us would be dead before the verdict was in.........click here to read on (photo of Storm, age 57, taken 7/11/06)
My new Daily Raw Blog, with an expanded version of the daily raw inspiration, at dailyraw.blogspot.com seems to be becoming my current favorite place to blog!
Today I came across a beautiful film exploring the positive life choices that underlie a raw Vegan lifestyle. Watching this family really reminds us what can be achieved in any life if we have the vision and the compassion to make it real.
Thank you for providing such tasty recipes in the ebooks. I have had other raw books and even if they inspire me to try the recipes - which they all don't - the actual recipes don't turn out tasty. Yours always are wonderful - how do you do it? (Jinjee: We use recipes that we eat and enjoy ourselves!)
My family and I enjoyed the Breakthrough movie. We are enjoying better health since going raw. We have effortlessly lost 70 pounds altogether. 20 pounds of it coming from my 15 year old daughter!
Thank you for publishing information of such great benefit to us. Looking forward to learning more.
As we ofter don't get to answer all the questions and comments we receive via email every day, we'll feature questions here on the website, updated from time to time...
Question of the week
Q: Dear Jinjee, first off i love your website! i am writing you because i am desparate. i am a 460 pound african american female. i am permanently disabled because i am considered morbidly morbidly obese. i tried every diet and even tried to do gastric bypass. they couldn't go through with it because i didn't have enough intestense to use so they are recomending for me to admit myself in a braitric treatment center or get the lap band done, another bypass surgery. i have high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, asthma, severe sleep apnea, high cholestoral, i get headaches every day, i can't remember things well and my brain feels like it doesn't want to think. my skin is so dry and my hair has fallen out and is very brittle. i feel very lost because i can't afford to eat organic or exspensive diet stuff. i started doing research on the internet and came across alot of sites talking about raw food. i am very careful about eating alot of fruit because of my diabetes. i want to try this way of eating. i experience feeling hungry all the time. never feeling satisfied. anyway, i know i'm talking so much but i have been battling my wieght for 44 years. my body always feels tired. now i can't walk much a few steps and i have to sit down . please help me! i'm so depressed i don't leave my bedroom except to go to the doctors and food shopping. i want to live life again. i want to try this diet but i think i will feel so hungry all the time and the fruit would make my blood sugar rise. it rises so easily. i would love some advice or a mentor. i hope you and your wife can help me. thank you for reading my e-mail. i just wanted to talk to someone.
A: Hi! I will be happy to try to mentor you, but please realize I'm not doctor - just a friend who has had some success with losing weight on a raw vegan diet. However your situation is pretty serious. So I would only do this under a doctor's supervision. But if you can get a doctor to support you in this, go for it! Here's what I would do, - with a doctor supervising - I would do any one of the following things:
1. do a green juice fast.. It sounds hard but once you start, it might be easy for you. Be open to that possibility. Give it a try! Order a Green Star Juicer (its $400+ but think about how expensive your medical bills and medications are, or will be over the years, and you'll see its a very little amount to spend!). Do buy organic.. It is the only way to safely do any kind of raw vegan diet or juicing regimen, and once again, the difference in price is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the money saved on medical bills and medications. The things you can juice are:
- carrots and spinach (just a handful of spinach to start with, working up to one bunch after a few weeks)
- cucumbers, kale, celery (10 cucumbers, one bunch kale, one bunch celery) - this'll last you half a day! It will change you instantly. You will become a different person after drinking this just once, I promise you!
Other vegetables you can juice up in any mixture:
(mix any of the below):
- carrots
- cucumbers
- beets (start slowly!)
- kale
- chard
- spinach (start slowly!)
- dandelion greens
- celery
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- bell peppers
- parsley
- etc..
2. If this all sounds like too much for you, just stop eating meat! You'll be amazed at the difference in your life within just a few days!!!!!
3. If you can, also stop eating any dairy (milk, cheese, eggs, yogurt, cream, sour cream, butter, baked goods that contain any of the above, bread made with any dairy in it) - You will feel about 300 times better for sure!
4. If you really want to go raw, but don't want to juice, then you can just eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds plain! Make sure the nuts are raw!!! Not roasted!!! For instance, you can eat a bunch of parsley, plain! My 7 year old loves it, and does it all the time! You can eat like that all day, and you'll feel amazing the first day already!
Best of luck!!!! Feel free to email me any time!!!

Raw Food News
Great news for raw vegans!
An article came out in the mainstream media picked up by Reuters which means it can be picked up by any newspaper. Some quotes from the article are below with a link to the article online. Also below that you'll find a link to a page that links to the 40 or so publications that have picked up the story. A few of them twisted the story around and made it negative but by far most of them saw it as a positive endorsement of the raw vegan diet.
Health - Reuters
"Raw Food Vegans Thin But Healthy, Study Finds"
"Fontana expected the vegans to have low vitamin D levels because they avoid dairy products, which are fortified with the vitamin. But in fact their vitamin D levels were "markedly higher" than average".
"And the vegans had low levels of C-reactive protein, an inflammatory molecule that is becoming linked with the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other chronic disease".
"Furthermore, they had lower levels of IGF-1, a growth factor linked to risk of breast and prostate cancer".
Advertise to your children - or yourself! - and help you and your loved ones choose the coolest snacks "with the real flavor of fruit"!

Living food is the yummiest food on earth. It is where all the other flavors come from. It is what they use to spice and season the cooked stuff. It is impossible to top! The basic flavors were given to us by the natural kingdom that also gave us the basic colors, musical tones, and amazing scents. All of these things have something divinely perfect in their essence. And they seem to me to have been provided as building blocks for us to work with, to be creative and fill the world with all kinds of beauty. We have done amazing things with colors and tones and scents. And I think that with the advent of the raw-vegan culinary arts we are coming into an age of sumptuous orchestrations and true masterpieces to please not just the palate, but to invigorate the whole being – palate, mind, body, and soul! ~ Jinjee, The Daily Raw Inspiration
