Thank you CF, I truly think raw vegan is the right way to go, it's hard when the only people that agree with me are you and the others on CZ, everyone else thinks I'm crazy.
To tell you the truth, I really don't want to eat cooked food again until I know I'm ready. I've been telling my boyfriend I will go out with him for some sushi for like 4 months now, and I still can't bring myself to it.
I'm going to go with explanation #2, BTW, and I'll be keeping it in mind. Can't thank you enough!!! gotta run....
