A teacher with whom I work approached me early in the workday and told me he saw my status on Facebook and asked me "So what do you eat?" What do you mean raw?"
I just smiled and said, "no cooked food." Then he said, "Oh, you know, I had some beans the other day...." I let him finish and then told him that beans (from a can) were cooked. He thought about it and he said, "Oh yeah."
I feel like so many just don't have any idea of what we vegans and even raw vegans eat because their world would be turned completely upside down if they didn't have meat and dairy. Because of the large scale lack of knowledge, I thought I would just take a moment to tell you guys what I've been eating for the past few days, in pictures.
I usually start my day out with bananas and/or dates. Sometimes I will eat papaya if that's what's ripe off my trees, or melons, or grapes. It's almost always fruit, though.
Later in the day, I almost always have a salad or two. Either lettuce or cabbage as a base, tomato, cucumber, zucchini squash, ground flax, avocados, lemon or orange juice. Sometimes I use bell peppers too. I look forward to my big salads in the evening, as they are higher in plant fat. This gives me a satisfying and full feeling I used to get eating cooked foods. I find my energy to be very high and since quitting caffeine, I've gotten rid of my withdrawals (headaches) in the first few days.
Anyway, just an update! Hope you are all doing well! Thanks for stopping by!
