Comment on Homemade Pumpkin Puree by tiffany

tiffany — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:10:27 +0000

your blog is really great, but i must say its a bummer to see someone interested in promoting a whole foods healthy vegan lifestyle recommending cooking with a microwave… ofcourse theyre quick an convenient but theyre a total no-no in terms of food quality! Every book ive ever read about lifestyles like macrobiotics say to avoid microwaves at all costs, and even a quick flip through the classic 'healing with whole foods' turns up multiple studies on its negative effect on the molecular structure of the food. I could be wrong for sure, and im sure its a controversial subject, but i just wanted to bring it up. Ill be making pumpkin puree later this week, but ill have to do my best with the baking method

Don't we loose some nutrition by freezing?
Guess it's better than not making one's own.

At least I"d add a little warm water to take off the chill which can put out the digestive fire & leave undigested goo inside to clog the fine channels through which the bodies intelligence flows leading to less than optimal health.
Thanks for the inspiration.

hiya! I watched Earthlings the other day after seeing it on your sight. I decided to go vegan the next day. Not as sudden as it sounds, I'd been thinking very seriously about it for a while now. I think I was looking for something to really shake me up, and it did! It's so hard not to want to share it with everyone, and I'm worried that my friends will start to think I'm preachy. One bummer that you forgot to mention is how lonely it can feel when you realize your friends may not share the same enthusiasm for healthy eating and compassion for animals with you. It's so good to have the blog community to turn to when I need a reminder that there are many many people with the same values! Thanks for the great blog

I just made a pizza from that book and it tasted good but doesn't really give you a pizza "experience" so to speak. I think the crust could hold up better if less sauce was put on in order to dry out the crust more….

Comment on Foam Rolling for A**holes by Thomas Johnson

Hey Matt,

Great article. I read it a couple of weeks ago and now I've bought a foam roller. I just use it after doing anything that would usually make me sore the next day and it seems to work really well. A couple I've times I've done a hilly bike ride that would usually make my quads sore for a couple of days and no soreness

Nice to see a proud vegetarian admit that there are some times when it sucks. Once in awhile the smell of bacon gets me too haha. Good luck with the month of being vegan. Can't wait to read more about it.

Comment on The Complete Spectathlete's Guide to Cheering Like a Champ by alison

This was a great post with lots of useful information. Last year my husband ran the Marine Corps marathon and my daughter and I were his cheerleaders. Race participants (my husband included) love to see a friendly face; it really energizes them, especially if things are getting tough. My daughter and I able to spot him on three different occasions, but it took some pre planning and an all-day Metro pass. By the end, I think we were as worn out as he was!
Thank you for this great article!
