I'm fourteen and I have been a vegetarian since I was eleven. My parents eat meat so I usually end up eating microwavable meals. How would you suggest a way for me to start eating mostly raw that is inexpensive. I am overweight, but this is mostly for the lifestyle! I try to be mostly vegan also

[EasyToBeRaw]

@livemusicrox the cheapest and easiest way is to start eating lots of bananas. start with breakfast first and make sure it's always fruit, lots and lots of it until you're full. and for dinner try to eat a lot of fresh greens or salad with whatever else you have to eat.

Are all people on raw diets also vegans? Does sashimi count as raw food? What about mayonnaise? what about steak tar tar? Carpaccio?

P.S. Eating all organic really isn't necessary, it's just a popular trend right now. The only real difference is the price. If anything, organic could be more dangerous to consume than non-organic.

Anyway, someone please answer my above questions. I'm really curious.

[EasyToBeRaw]

@Lynx2020 only the truly conscious ones are raw vegan. not sure what you meant in your comment about conventional being less dangerous. organically grown produce is the most natural way to grow something. since organic is a newer trend the methods used are modern. I am a chemically sensitive person so I can tell when something is not organic, or if they are using a lot of chemicals. I have immediate reactions to it.

hey megan! i LOVE your videos...keep em coming. 2 questions though- is $10.99 for a case of 14 conventional medium sized ataulfo mangos a good price??? and also at asian markets who do you ask for the bulk or "overripe" produce? thanks! :)

[EasyToBeRaw]

@snwbordface 10.99 is a decent price at a regular store, bc at whole foods they will charge you $2 a mango! I usually just ask any person working in the produce department.

Megan, it's hard to hear you over the music.

[randomyoko]

i got to know your channel through LizYArtur! and im loving your videos!! so helpful!! thank youu!!!

Hey! Have you considered the Fat Blast Furnace (do a search on google)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my sister shed insane amounts of useless fat.

[ChezStyle]

Hi Megan, so basically you're a fruitarian then? do you ever eat other raw veggies other than the cucumbers? love your channel :)

[BOBdaBELUGA]

great video thank you!

[Cidril]

Great video! Where I live (in Norway) the cheapest fruit to buy is bananas, but unfortunately also they are very expensive, about 3.45$ a kilo at the moment, sometimes you get "cheap" ones for 3$ flat. And you have to pay 2.76$ PER mango. Needless to say you dont buy that many! Oh well. But I love watching your videoes, you are very inspirational! Keep on makin' :D *Hugs*

every couple months bananas go on sale at the grocery store across my street. conventionally grown, well-traveled, but 40 cents a pound. those are nice times.

Hi Megan! I really enjoy your videos, but I had problems when I ate raw vegan for months. I just cannot digest all these fruits and I was under severe pain because of my bowels so I went back. However, I would really like to eat raw again.

btw I was surprised how much you spend on food. I spend 125 for four weeks!

And one more thing: I am not in the US and hence I am having trouble to watch some videos of you because of the copyrights of music...

[lemurianchick]

@mikecazzx : I wouldn't buy any mango that is hard at the store. I would very gently squeeze it and if it gives slightly, then I would buy it. Same with pears. But buying rock-hard mangos or pears is not gonna go well, IMO.

[lemurianchick]

Thank you for the specifics! I am sorry--I just discovered your channel today--are you 100% raw or high-raw?

[NvrTuLate]

Hi Megan. Mostly can't find organic mango'd here and the non organic are bruised, but I've been finding some pretty good frozen mango. Great with frozen banana and orange with some grated ginger for a desert. Or with a non frozen banana for a great smoothie in the morning, with or without greens.

Megan. What do you think about the frozen mangos. Yes, they are expensive, but here not any worse than fresh. Wondering about food values.

Is your estimate you AND Joey B? Or twice that for both of you per week?
