[I am not a raw food vegan, though I am experiencing the
benefits of green juices, and smoothies all in their natural
raw state

But I also enjoy cooking food.

I am finding that I will stay with this Summer
80%raw, 20% cooked

YES! That pretty much sums it up for me too, I am not vegan either.....just vegetarian (since birth.....I didn't like meat as a baby) I will eat white fish if I don't have to smell it cook, and I won't cook it. Tuna and samon, no thanks.

What do you think of the new food plates? I used to laugh and make jokes about they pyramid...if I ate like food pyramid suggested, I'd look like it.....
ok, have a good day

So they replaced the old pyramid with a dinner plate, divided by colors, and each section is proportion controlled so to speak for how much of each you should eat a day

i/e grain, fruit, veggies, protein (notice not meat) and dairy. I thought it was a huge step in the right direction

No room on the plate for fat or sugar

somebody already cheatd (not me, I HATE HATE HATE Chocolate)
