The champion is a good, versatile kitchen appliance. As for dark greens
I find juicing them with carrots & steaming them to be the best way to
go. For recipes go to http://www.rawtimes.com/recipes.html

"Natures First Law" is the name of a controversial book that came out
last year that promotes a vegan, fruit-based monodiet put out by three
young men in their twenties who reside in San Diego, CA. Their style is
very abrasive & intolerant which caused them to be suspended from this
list. (until they are willing to recognize the list guidelines)

RAF = Raw Animal Foods
CAF = Cooked animal foods

Good luck with your new diet.

Best, Peter
