Wow, people are being really mean to you. There's nothing wrong with sharing a little information. I'm starting to think that we DO need a healthy eating section.
I agree that you feel a lot better eating that way, but I just can't stay out of Maggie Mudd. Neither can I leave the curly fries alone, or the popcorn or the reese's cereal....basically if it's not hurting an animal I'll eat it, despite the hydrogenated oils and all that other bad stuff.

You could eat any of those foods raw if you wanted, but potato probably wouldn't taste so good. Potatoes aren't necessary on a raw food diet. I follow a raw food diet and I try to eat a balance of green, leafy, chlorophyll foods, fatty fruits (avocado, durian, olives, etc) and citrus fruits. Nuts and seeds also make up a small portion of my diet. I make my own almond milk and use the leftover almond pulp to make flour and you can make all sorts of low-heat-baked or dehydrated yummies. Just dry the almond pulp out in a dehydrator or in the oven on the lowest heat for 10 hours. Last nite I made some raw cinnamon rolls... delish! You can find all sorts of raw recipes on the internet to make it more interesting. You could also check out the Sunfood Diet Success System by David Wolfe.

I was in Maggie Mudd for the first time last week on a trip to California from Michigan and was repulsed by how rude the girl working there was. I can't even put it into words. We ordered nicely, were kind and everything and her attitude was absolutely disgusting. She was so mean.
I shared with someone a small blueberry ice cream and a small cookies & cream. personally, I find that Maggie Mudd is very watery and not creamy. . .doesn't have the familiar texture of real ice cream like Soy Dream or Rice Dream does. Not that I'll ever visit Maggie Mudd again anyway, but I think I'll stick to the more creamy types. . .
What's your favorite there, anyway?

Not for nothing..but this is not a question. In the future..so you don't get slammed by trolls and others who don't share your beliefs... answer any questions about raw food..but don't make people scroll this much to read your answer.

None of this is based on sound scientific, medical and nutritional principles. I am a former vegetarian. A dietary nurse frowned down on the idea at the time. Low iron levels along with low calcium, protein, vitamin D and B12.
