Are there ethical reasons for eating raw instead of cooked vegan?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Chuck Bluestein Apr 13. 4 Replies 0 Likes

Finding an ethical reason to avoid eating cooked food seems to be the only way for me to stay "on the wagon". Are there any videos/documentaries that can answer this?Continue

What cooked food/dish was the most difficult for you to cut out and how did you do it?

For me, it is currently mushrooms, even though I have 2700+ calories from fruits and veggies everyday. I know the negative effects of eating cooked mushrooms: my poo will have a sharp odor, the…Continue

How do you, as a vegan, deal with house pests?

Posted on March 13, 2013 at 12:08pm 5 Comments 0 Likes

I have many cockroaches in my home, and I used to have mice (i have a phobia of mice, both live and dead). I felt pretty bad when I killed a few. Many people don't see cockroaches or any other house pests as animals/living beings. I don't exactly love animals, I just don't think that they deserve to suffer and be killed, unless an animal tries to kill you. That's exactly why I went vegetarian, and eventually vegan, in the first place. I don't want these cockroaches in my home, but I don't…

The longer you are HCRV, the more sensitive you become towards cooked food

Posted on February 27, 2013 at 12:07am 12 Comments 0 Likes

Is this true? Because I've been going on and off raw and every time I go back to cooked starches I seem to feel even worse than the last time I ate cooked food.

Do you sometimes feel like a hypocrite?

Posted on February 17, 2013 at 4:52am 4 Comments 1 Like

So far I'm about 95% HCRV and I sometimes have steamed rice and potatoes when I run short on ripe fruit. But I have always loved cooking and baking and I haven't planned on cutting out this hobby. I know that there are inspirational raw chefs out there like Kristina Camillo-Bucaram, and it is fun to prepare raw recipes, but it's not quite the same as cooking. I still feel like a hypocrite even though I am an ethical vegan cook and everything I make is pretty much HCLF. I'm also a new food…

I'm 16, in the worst shape of my life

Posted on December 19, 2012 at 9:15am 14 Comments 0 Likes

I don't like exercise at all. When I'm active I want to be enjoying myself, I want to have fun. And my favorite activity of all time is Chinese martial arts but the thing is classes are $140/month more or less and my mom doesn't have a job now so we're pretty much broke. I've downloaded the Insanity program earlier this summer and I know it will help me get fit and it's less than an hour per workout but I'd rather do nothing than something I don't like. Yeah, I'm stubborn like that >_<…
