Hi, I'm Johnny ♥ A pink tutu twirlin' transgender male from the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. I'm here to share my story about my rollercoaster ride of recovery for anorexia, bulimia, orthorexia and OCD. I've been in treatment since age 14 & am still getting help. I am connected to nature & God, the ultimate Healer. I am a raw (5+ years) organic vegan. Raw food has been crucial in my healing/recovery!

I am a public eating disorder artist, activist and educator but just like you I am only human trying to survive. This account serves as an educational exhibition to bring eating disorder awareness. I can only speak for myself and have chosen to share the raw truth about my eating disorder experiences, ups and downs, theories, thoughts, etc. in hopes of helping others.

My user name represents the androgynous nature and creative aspects of stick figures not pro-eating disorder purposes.

Many requested, many pushed and so I finally took action - You can now mail me letters, cards, gifts, etc. at:

The Raw Food movement is a Lifestyle not a diet, without it I'd be dead by now. It's one of the most important and crucial aspects of my recovery process.

"The food you eat can either be the safest & most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison." Anne Wigmore

Want to go RAW but don't know where to start? Educate yourself. This is how we were biologically intended to eat. We should all, including our growing children and pets, be eating like Eden. In order to move forward we must go backwards - back to whole, natural, organic raw and living foods that allow us to thrive through life not just survive through it. Cooked aka killed, adulterated and processed foods destroy health, clog the colon (then ferment and have the bacteria reabsorbed into your blood stream) and pollute the body which causes health problems and promotes disease. If your diet isn't pure than neither is your body - if your bowel movements aren't as frequent as your meals consider yourself highly intoxicated!!! A happy colon is a healthy one not one full of toxic trash. "Death begins in the colon" - Bernard Jensen Shoot for 40 grams or more of fiber a day from whole plant based foods. Stay well hydrated and active.

Eat organic. What goes into the soil goes into the food and that goes into you. Respect and support local farmers, eat by season and as local as possible to ensure the best nutrient content of your food. Real food begins to loose nutrients directly after it's been picked from the earth. Light, heat and air all kill nutrients so eat it at it's best - eat it fresh! Learn the joy and art of growing your own foods, even inside your home. You can grow herbs, sprouts and greens in your windowsill!

Now on to meat... Leave the flesh of animals where it belongs - on the animals not fermenting inside your colons due to selfish and careless tastes and food addictions. Animals are our friends not our feasts! We must help support each other through lifestyle changes. Healthy food comes direct from the ground not a store fridge, freezer or shelf. All these fake foods, including the ones you've been brainwashed to believe are healthy, break the body down not build it up. Eating this junk is just another form of SELF HARM. Real food is raw food. Get ahold of your health! "Let food by thy medicine and medicine by thy food" Detox, heal, restore, enlighten and energize. Eat like EDEN! Organic, Local, Seasonal, Raw Vegan! Everything else is dining with death.
