Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am Mary Ellen, 43 from Ohio and I have been a vegetarian for a year after

a lifetime of eating garbage and crap, mainly cooked, dead animals. I seriously

think it's a miracle that I'm still alive. My dad was a meat cutter (butcher) by

trade and my mother raised me on " canned milk with Karo syrup " as a baby, so as

you can see, I never really had a chance. It took me 42 years to learn what a

" live " food was. Better late than never. I have a husband and 3 daughters. My

oldest daughter and husband are serious flesh-eaters and think I have gone " over

the edge " . My middle daughter wants to eat raw foods like me and wants to raise

my one year old granddaughter on raw foods but is getting all kinds of crap

about it from her husband and inlaws that think meat and Pepsi are " food of the

Gods " . My youngest daughter who is 13 is " trying " to incorporate live foods into

her diet, no doubt due to my " constant " preaching about what dead foods are

doing to her body, but still eats the garbage that her father eats, because she

is addicted to it. I am trying to set a good example and I joined this group

mainly for knowledge and support. I mainly eat " huge " salads. I use apple cider

vinegar, olive oil and sesame seeds instead of bottled dressing, after reading

" every single label on every single bottle of salad dressing " in my grocery

store and discovering that they " all " contain sugar. What an eye-opening

experience that was! Also I eat fresh fruits and raw nuts and seeds. I was

wondering something. Are frozen veggies " live " ? Or are they, you know, frozen to

death? Because I usually sprinkle some frozen peas into my salad. Also, I have a

Green Star juicer and I use it almost everyday, I try to start the day out with

Carrot-Kale-Garlic juice which is kind of yucky, but I think its good for me and

I have not gotten sick yet this year (knock on wood) while everyone else around

me has been sick. Also, what about " green drink " ? (the powdered barley that you

mix with water). Is that " raw " ? I have really been enjoying everyones posts.

Thanks for letting me be here and I hope I don't drive everyone nuts.

Peace, ~*~Mary Ellen~*~
