Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 How cool that you are also in WA. Did you go to the " veg fest " in the seattle center a few weeks ago? I wanted to go but was " indisposed " after a bit too much flax seed (I wasn't used to it and apparently went over my toleration level). I hope to go next year.

I am not yet entirely raw, I do eat eggs and small portions of meat cooked still, but I am about 80% raw. I made scrambled eggs, and as I took them off the fire, I added lots of raw veggies to ours. Then we had a raw mixed fruit salad, and for the others, I made buscuits and gravy which they love, but we didn't eat. We had an egg hunt, and inside the plastic eggs, I put pieces of zoobs, a new building toy set for my 4 year old to find. Not ideal, I know, but a work in progress and I am also not sure how to handle holidays with family who follow SAD diets heavily based on meats and junk foods and refuse to eat anything that might even be considered healthy. I am not willing to miss holiday events with my kids or other members of my family because we see differently on food issues.

It's Easter...how do you deal with holiday family meals where your eating habits are so different from everyone else's? Does anyone give you grief for being so " weird " ? Holidays are always difficult for me... Adriana ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _ Looking for earth-friendly autos?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hi Karen, No I did not get to go to the " veg fest " would have like to though, but in olympia there is a very active raw community and I have gone to several of the free raw food classes they have one every other week or so. Last one was on desserts yum.
