Nope. Country-fried Georgia. Where they hunt vegans for sport!

I have noticed a connection between cooked food and stress. It seems to me that the more chaos I let into my life, that I accept and give space to, the more I crave and submit to cravings.

You may have noticed on your way from meat to veg to vegan to raw a decrease in your ability to tolerate too much craziness. The intolerance isn't a negative thing, where you're screaming and yelling at folks, but more of a positive thing, where you find yourself moving away from heavy, ugly vibrational people and situations. Raw food is definitely a more subtle energy, I've noticed. And there is, at least for me, a certain mindframe, certain kinds of environments and situations where I cannot stay when raw.

Detox seems to vary for everybody. I was reading something awhile back: some raw food healing place noticed that some people with significant health problems experienced no detox during the initial stages of transitioning, only to come down with some strong detox stuff later. As if the body were so full of toxins, that it took time to create an internal hurricane in order to flush them out.
