to goodsamaritan, what is secret! the way i was raw vegan, i don't think anyone even comes close to my theory. i hardly used refrigerator to keep my food, so, i can have always freshest juice, smoothies...etc. i bet you that she just even can't imagine of that. i used my kitchen 24/7. i hardly used to go outside but only for groceries. i was always making compost entire yr round digging the soil and worms. i was extremely busy in the summer. and many more crazy things that even i just don't know how to say in proper ways. still i couldn't safe my health for god sake. you think she can do better in her kitchen? either she is super rich and always have maid to prepare her vegan menu or she solely depends on store brought organic raw products. i just can't imagine that anyone can live like me as raw vegan for 30+ yrs.
