RE: POLL RESULTS

[Guest guest]

Members, Members, Members:

 

As you can see, the results of the Poll for were not favorable. Thanks

to those who responded and for those who didn't for whatever reasons, it not to

late to at least respond to this message. Come on folks, I know we can do

better than 12 responses. Let everyone know what's important to you and what

you expect of the group and from the members. You may email me directly off

list if you like. I'm open to your suggestions.

 

The support group was launched nearly 4 months ago by me with hopes of

providing a vibrant space for people who shared a common interest to have

dialogue, exchange ideas and eventually meet face to face for binding support.

 

So far, there are 71 members in the group and that indicates to me that there is

a genuine interest in optimal health issues.

 

There is a tentative date of 3/27/04 to have our first Raw (live) Foods Potluck

so for those of you who have offered to help with motivating the group, now's

your chance to get busy.

 

My ultimate goal remains, with your input, " To make this group one of the most

fun and informative Raw (live) Food support groups around. " I think we have the

potential.

 

Good Health to You!

My name is Althea Hughes Wills. I am 31 years old, living in Fort Washington,

Maryland. I am a vegan who is interested in becoming a raw fooder. My husband

still eats fish, but is open to transition to veganism, even raw food. We are

raising our toddler son vegan.

 

I apologize for not doing the poll. I had gone " no mail " for a time because I

was out of town. I joined the list because I'd like to know where to start

with a raw lifestyle.

 

I've read " Heal Thyself, " " Living Foods for Optimal Health, " and " Fit for

Life, Not Fat for Life. " I have three recipe books I bought from Sprout Raw Food

in Atlanta. I have to admit, I'm a bit intimidated. I don't have a dehydrator

(where to get one?). I don't spout yet either. The recipes look long and

complicated (and I do enjoying cooking and spending time in my kitchen).

 

My question is simply, " where to begin? " Even with books and recipes, it's

like I have so much information that I don't know where to start. I didn't ask

this before because I thought I would sound stupid. I'm really interested for

myself and especially for my husband's health.

 

peace,

Althea
