@ Jeff: Thanks for reading, I couldn’t be happier people are taking action and really diving into health and nutrition. I like that last line about being more conscious over your food choices, and I’ll definitely get to some great specifics down the road

@ Carol: Always great to hear about others on the path, I’ve also heard only amazing things about vegan babies. Those who really know the field inside and out have had amazing natural births and some of the healthiest and most intelligent babies out there. And that’s more important than ever with everything going on around us today!

This was a good article John. I have two daughters, one of which is your Grandfather’s God Daughter. Both girls are into nutrition, and have passed on much of this info to me. My youngest is a vegan and is raising her children in that format. I can say that her daughter has had no medical problems or sicknesses. Bridget too, is very conscious of the fresh vegetable and fruit foods. Keep up the good work

Hey man this is a great article. You make some really logical points that definitely get me thinking… I’m looking forward to some more suggestions about what specific types of raw foods people are eating. I know soy products are great for protein and nutrients but unfortunately I’m kind of allergic haha. Oh well like I said this makes a lot of sense and I’m looking forward to being more conscious about the food choices I’m making.

Hi ‘Chelle,

Great to hear from you, I’m glad I could help on your health quest! It truly is an empowering path. About the shrimp ceviche, I did some research and it looks like it doesn’t have to be cooked but most people pre-cook the shrimp to kill off the bacteria. One important note is that the bacteria present will depend on the quality of the shrimp in the first place, so if you’re eating raw shrimp make sure they’re very fresh and extremely high-quality. Not being a shrimp-eater myself that’s about all I can offer on that subject!
