You know you're (811) raw when...

Okay I saw a thread like this over at rawfoodtalk and thought it would be fun to bring over here. I'll start

You know you're raw when

your oven was broken for possibly weeks but didnt realize it until your mother came to your visit
you have a giant cutting board over your stove because you never use the burners
you don't have to worry about look good in the morning
you can say your "s*** don't stink" and not be lying!
you can go straight from a workout to dinner and not worry about smelling bad
you don't have to read the newest fad health article about wine being good for your heart or the amazing antioxidants in the ookalakkombah berries of djibouti
you only go to one part of the supermarket and are out of there in minutes
your grocer thinks you own 3 monkeys, a cow and several other barnyard animals
you bite your tongue and just smile and nod during any health discussion with a SAD eater
you barely remember what it is like to scrub a dish and own 0 brillo pads.

let's see what you guys can come up with!

some markets have self-checkouts so it helps to know these things... :)

I knew it, and your happy to pay more even though you could punch in the non-organic code. Self checkout is about the only time I don't stir up a conversation and it feels weird cus I'm so used to explaining myself or hearing the people behind me the best one yet is two lady's saying they should start shopping all over again because everything I was buying looked so healthy.
