By my experience grains and short sprouts are bad foods(I have never
given a try to long sprouts). I think, they are destructive for nervous
system and lead to depression, not to mention their complex starches
cause severe intestinal fermentation. Surprisingly, cooked potato,IMO,
does not have such undesirable effects. I remember Walker in his books
was strongly opposed against grains and sereals in any form, besides,
instinctos never eat them. Seeds are OK.
I haven't been on raw vegan diet for long periods of time and cannot
judge by myself. If such diet is deficient, maybe, goat milk will help
diminish cravings and binges? Is it true that goat milk does not produce
"mucus"? Anyway, I think dairy and even flesh are better than cereals.

All the best,
