One very odd side effect that happened to me after eating raw foods for a long time is that I somehow developed an allergy to mango. This happened well over a year ago (in late 2008 I think), and I’ve been mostly avoiding mango ever since. At some point in time, I started having strong [...]

I did my first Bikram (hot yoga) class today with Rachelle. She’s been asking me to try it for 4 months, so I finally decided to attend a class with her this morning to see what it was like. I’ve never done hot yoga before, so you could say my curiosity finally got the better [...]

Here’s a video that Lori Painter and I made recently, showing off some raw food creations we concocted for a raw potluck we attended in Vegas. Making this video was totally spontaneous, so we got a bit silly at times. Hope you enjoy it. I make the zucchini hummus differently each time. This time I blended in [...]

For most of the past year, I’ve been starting my day with a green smoothie for breakfast, but lately I’ve been getting back into juicing. I piled up a lot of experience in a short period of time when I did my 30-day juice feast a year ago. (I’d originally planned to go for a [...]

Erin and I enjoyed another lovely visit from our raw foodist friends Matt Monarch and Angela Stokes-Monarch as they passed through Vegas yesterday before heading for Denver. At some point we decided to pull out our Flip cameras and do some interviews. Matt posted his interview with me today. We talked about some of my [...]

Here’s a short video (less than 4 minutes) showing some daily practices that people who eat eggs are supporting: Realize that if you eat eggs, you’re actively and directly supporting practices like this. This video is actually pretty mild compared to what happens to the hens. What’s the difference between being the guy who tosses [...]

Recently the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) released a new report on how climate change is already affecting the United States, plus predictions for the next 100 years based on different scenarios. If you care to read the report, you can find it online at www.globalchange.gov/usimpacts. This group is comprised of respected U.S. scientists [...]

Since December 2008 I’ve been attending monthly raw potlucks here in Las Vegas. Erin and I hosted one at our house a few months ago, and we’ll be hosting another one in August. Typically 20-25 people will attend (I’ve seen as many as 35), so these potlucks are a nice way to meet local raw [...]
