Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Jeannie, Where do you get dark raw agave? I've only been able to find the light in the raw. Tommie http://reallyrawfood.com http://reallyrawfood.com/forum Posted by: " jeannieh h " jeannieh99 jeannieh99 Sun Jul 1, 2007 9:27 pm (PST) Caron, I have never been able to eat molasses. It tastes quite nasty to me, always has. I am really loving the agave syrup. I am so happy I found the dark raw agave. I use it on so many things. It is my dream come true....LOL I have such a sweet tooth. Jeannie your time is the most cherished gift of all, tomorrow is promised to no one.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Caron, you are correct. Molasses are: 1. Not raw. 2. Not food ... for us OR for bovines. 3. Grain is also not food ... for us or for bovines. Roughly 1/2 of all the sodium bicarbonate sold in the U.S. is fed to cows, who experience awful indigestion when they are fed grains.

LOL. This is another thing that confuses me, and makes me wonder if it's another language thing. We used to feed molasses to the cattle during the drought, mixed it with a grain, maybe oats? I got some recently, and it tastes vile. I've looked into the processing of sugar cane, and first they get the raw sugar out, then the white sugar (or maybe the other way around? golden syrup is in there somewhere too), then the brown sugar, then the leftover burnt waste is the molasses. I can't see how all this processing, and the fact that it's junk, makes it a raw food, or even a food at all. Is it something different in the States?

Roughly 1/2 of all the sodium bicarbonate sold in the U.S. is fed to cows, who experience awful indigestion when they are fed grains. Thanks for the clarification, Elchanan. I'm still a little confused as to why some recommend it as part of a raw food diet, but then there's a few things recommended that aren't exactly raw or food. Re it being fed to the cattle, there was no grass, and the molasses and grain was to supplement the hay. When it rained, they just grazed. I know they feed grains at dairies here, and yes, they have salt licks - my stepdad's uncle had a dairy farm that we used to go to, and we'd actually mix the salt in with the grains for them to eat while they were milked. They had access to that for the length of time they were on the machine, the rest of the time they grazed. I know it's probably different on different farms.
