Those wild-looking mushrooms almost covering the salad are shitake. They are both delicious and anti-inflammatory, as are most of the ingredients in this meal. All the ingredients are supportive of feeling great!
For those unfamiliar with raw vegan eating, if You'll try it, You may be amazed at how wonderful You can feel. I grew up on a lot of meat and potatoes and milk, and I feel so much better now, as a grandmother!, than I did as a kid, a teenager, in high school, and until about 30 when becoming a vegan and trying everything raw.
I really saw the power of diet when taking care of my dear mother-in-law years ago. Actually, she wasn't so dear at first. Every time we visited her, she'd put out a wedding picture of my husband's first marriage! However, after a massive heart attack and then a stroke that left her left side partially paralyzed, Guidance suggested I offer to take care of her when she left the hospital.
This turned out to be a beautiful experience for both of us, although at first, it didn't look like it would. I put her on a raw vegan diet, and although she missed her pirogi and coffee and sugar, and said about wheatgrass juice: "Get that cow juice away from me!" -- she loved sweets and so I made things sweet for her.
We made real contact after a few days when it was only the two of us home and she slid out of the hospital bed (which was low to the floor)on to the floor. Since I was toward the end of a forty-day fast at the time, she must have outweighed me by 50 pounds or more! We just sat on the floor and looked at each other. Then together we asked God for help, and somehow she was back on the bed. It was a very sweet moment.
The first day, her pee was almost black and strong-smelling. Within the week, she was peeing like a baby, clear and fresh, and all the lines on her face began to lessen. One day, when getting her up to walk, my step-daughter Jackie said: "Babci, You have ankles!" We all looked, and she did! Before this, she'd always had piano legs (no visible ankles).
Although I feel we are what we think (and of course what we think affects everything we do), so many times since I have seen how what we're eating makes the difference.
Perhaps because what we eat, the choices we're making, affect our thinking.
