Blech. > > Anyway, was curious what are the main staples in your raw vegetarian diet? Well, it depends. When I first started, I was eating a lot of sweet fruits, and felt attracted to dried fruits and honey, so I would binge on that often. Now my attraction to sweet fruits has really diminished. At this time of the year, I eat mainly oranges and all citrus, plus some apples, occasional cherimoya and bananas. I eat greens and salads, flavored with some lemon juice and oil and garlic greens. I eat also a lot of avocadoes, because I love them and get them for free. If tomatoes were in season, it would be my staple. I looove tomatoes! In addition to that, I eat honey, smoothies made with fruits, occasional carrot juice. I eat nuts maybe 1-2 times a week, usually macadamia or pumkin seeds. Sometimes I get some dried tomatoes, or pinapples, and snack on that. I love durian, and when we go to SF, I get some. My favorite food of all is Mango! Ok, have fun. FRED
