I don't pretend to know everything about Raw Food, but what I'm trying to do with this blog is to get the word out to all those in Louisiana that the Raw Food lifestyle is local now. And if we band together as a community to share what we know with our friends and family on how to live healthy and eat right we can maybe cut the rate of cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and other diseases down or eradicate them altogether.
Six arguments for a greener diet
A meticulously researched examination of scientific studies that finds that eating more plant foods and fewer fatty animal products can lead to extra years of healthy living.
Happily, explains lead author and CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson, that same diet also leads to much less food poisoning, water pollution, air pollution, global warming, and animal suffering.
Ultimately, a diet rich in fatty animal products and poor in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables consumes the consumer: Higher rates of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, diabetes, and obesity cause hundreds of thousands of premature deaths each year.
Six Arguments for a Greener Diet exposes those, and other under-reported facts, and carefully connects the dots between a healthy diet and a healthy planet: http://cspinet.org/new/200608011.html.

What is Sustainable Living?
Simply stated, sustainable living is a lifestyle that could, in theory, be continued without depleting any natural resources. Adherents to this concept are willing to make trade offs in lifestyle in order to practice the philosophy. Numerous individuals, communities, cults and religious sects have attempted to practice the strict concept of sustainable living over the years. Examples include Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, Wendall Berry and their adherents.
What Would It Look Like?
A revolution is on the horizon that will change the way we live and alter the equation of wealth and power. The next, new thing is being created at the nexus of science, technology and venture capital?bold, creative solutions to address our energy needs for a sustainable and thriving global economy. In labs and garages all over the world unlikely teams of scientists, engineers, brilliant thinkers and financiers are finding new hope and solutions. Among them: -a former bus driver on the trans-Alaska pipeline whose keeps his ice hotel frozen all summer long with the energy of hot springs -a utility engineer who feeds smokestack gasses from coal-fired plants to voracious algae, then turns them into fuel -a tribe of Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest who have turned from fishing to harnessing the power of the waves These entrepreneurs are poised to remake the world?s biggest business and save the planet, too-but only if we can give them a fair chance to compete.

I'm Back...
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while,its been crazy. I have been subbing at the near by public schools as well as running around trying to get other things done. I recently took a trip down to San Antonio, Texas to get the remainder of my things out of storage. So it is offical I am back in Louisiana!
