Calling all Raw Foodies, Vegetarians, and Vegans in Milton . . . . Come out, come out, wherever you are.
I’m just curious to learn as much as I can about these lifestyle options, as a way of naturally increasing my energy, boosting my whole family’s health, and generally feeling better and cleaner.
Are there local groups for people with these interests?
I have found some excellent resources online for learning, and will be compiling a page of links in the near future, which I’ll ask all of you to submit links to your favourite web sites, as well as info on any local resources. I’m finding it particularly challenging to find some food products without going down to The Organic Garage in Oakville.
If you have tried the newly-opened raw foods restaurant in Port Credit, http://raw-aura.com, I’d love to get your opinion on it. The web site for it makes the foold look particularly good.
So, talk to me please. Tell me where you buy your produce, any other supplies, etc.
Here’s something I was surprised to find, quite accidentally, I might add – the chain Booster Juice sells trays of wheatgrass in their stores, at a very reasonable price – $16 for enough to make about 16 x 1oz juice if drinking it straight. There’s one down at Trafalgar & Dundas, and the one I went to is in the mall-type-thing at Mississauga Road & Derry, right by my Mississauga office.

Thanks Cyra, I will definitely check those links out. Dione & I are eating about 80% raw food and feeling much better for it. My energy level is way up, all my blood measures are at the low end of what is good for a non-diabetic, and things are great. Even noticing that the arthritis in my neck does not bother me very often at all, whereas before it was a constant restriction of movement.
I was vegetarian for 14 years, and Cameron was also for the first 4 years of his life; for me, it seems that not eating animal products is pretty easy, and it’s been 6 days since I had anything animal outside 3 egg whites one day.
Check out the video called Raw For Life – if you get to your parents house these days, I’ll be glad to leave it there for you to watch.
