I come from the North-Eastern Finland, near the Russian border (66N 29E, near the Arctic Circle). I guess I`m the northernmost member of the list, right? I`ve been interested in living/raw foods since 15 (being now 32). I`m interested on the whole in health and fitness, and a healthy diet is one part of it. I don`t know whether to cry or laugh today: I planted my tomato seedlings outside this week and today it is snowing! Only +1 degree Celsius and it is the middle of June! Yeah, I must be a *little* *bit* crazy with my rawfoods enthusiasm this far North. ;) Anyways, there will start a living food trainer (and a therapist) schooling in the beginning of 1997 in Finland and I hope I will be accepted there as a student. :) Regards, Tiina Makela [log in to unmask]
