    For us “poor” folks, other than what was already mentioned…check out grocery outlet (if you have one in your area). I bought three bags of organic flax seeds for under $3 a bag. They are starting to carry more organic items.
    Also, buy the blenders/food processor off of Craigslist or elsewhere used. I am buying a practically new Cuisinart processor for $75!

    Hmmm…it can be expensive if you buy a lot of ‘superfoods’ , VitaMix, etc. but…you can use a cheap blender. Greens are very cheap at the grocery. Non-organic Kale is about $1.50 a bunch so just throw in the blender w/some fruit. You can find ripe bananas at the store cheap. Just peel, cut in chunks and freeze = great for smoothies. Some of the bulk stuff like sesame seeds and flax seeds can be ground in a cheap coffee grinder. Cut out cable, cigarettes, junk food, beer.

    Keeping it simple, agreeing & all the research-a nice luxury but raw foods were designed for humans by Intelligence [or however someone might want to say it], no need to wait for research. Extras [cuisinarts, blenders, etc.] can be part of a long term plan. I was raised in the ‘ghetto’ of an affluent county with schools, libraries-great places to have presentations for free. Information is king but no need to preach to this demographic or treat them like children. Kevin, great upload (o:

    How long have you been raw

  6. MyOwnStickFigure — February 25, 2010 @ 7:08 am

    Kevin, you are the best. I love how you talk about really random things before your topics. I could never get tired of hearing what you have to say, it’s all precious. You pick such good topics. How would anyone NOT sub to your channel? Thank you for your being, Anne Marie too! Ah too bad you won’t be in SF, I live in the area, great raw community. Community gardens = best idea!

    I’m poor and was having trouble affording raw food this winter (I get CSA in the summer) so I joined Elements for Life. Right now is a good time to join if you need to make some money!! Once you enroll you have your own home based business all pre-made for you. And whatever superfoods you buy that you don’t sell or use for promos- you can eat. So its a win-win-win situation for us poor peoples ;) It works too, very easy to make money with Elements for Life :) Message me to sign up!

    We are poor :-) but manage to eat a ton of fresh fruits and veggies. I grow tomatoes on my apartment back porch and the kids love it. I also sprout alot of lentils and sunflower seeds. Mmmmmm :-)

    Hi guys :)

    My name is Julia and I have a few questions for you. I started transitioning to the raw food lifestyle but it’s been very difficult because I live in South Korea so I can’t get some things. One of the main things that I can’t get (and I searched for it) was Flaxseeds! I would like to make sandwiches and crackers but all the recipes are made with flaxseeds. What’s a tasty alternative? Thanks!!!! You guys are great and I love your energy!! :)

    i hope you, anne marie and johnny 5 are feeling more settled.
    best of luck on the road!

    Love love love the honesty and you’re absolutely right, we need to be responsible for our own diets. It’s great that you are sharing your life with us but I’m so glad you mentioned that one must do his/her own research and find what works best. I also agree with Douglas Graham about the raw food world. There really isn’t anything to talk about once a person finds out the truth about food. Fruits and veggies!!

    Thank you Kevin for the advice on the poor communities and living raw. Thank you for all of your info! -Are you guys coming to the Tampa Bay area in Florida?

  14. donnaichapman — February 25, 2010 @ 11:32 am

    Sorry, I forgot about the access to info. When my family was homeless for a couple of years I quickly found out that almost every public library now a days has access to the internet open to the public. An a world of information can be found there for no price at all.

    There is not much space around me and pots are getting more expensive but — the local tire repair place has excess old worn tires that they are happy for people to cart off for them so they don’t have to.

    Just cut big circles in the more worn areas– paint the outsides whatever colors you want –stack them up 3 or 4 high — fill with plants and dirt and you are set.

    works better than any of those tiny herb pots any day.

    For people who don’t have a lot of yard space, they can do container gardens, you can use any kind of old container, and like Kevin says, seeds are cheap. And grow things that don’t get too big, and things that might be a little costlier at the store. There’s a guy on YouTube who goes by the name theproducegarden, who has a lot of videos about raised gardens and container gardens. and you might see what all kind of stuff you can get for free; leaves, lawn clippings, etc.

    I am a single mama of 4 home schooled boys. We live in an apartment, and grow some of our own food on our back porch in 5 gallon buckets. I sew and trade a lot at farmers markets (when in season). In the winter months we grow what we can in our window ledges.We reuse plastic tubs, found in free piles or recycle bins and decorate them.Hope this helps. Keep being Rawesome!

    I think a garden is a great answer if you have a place to grow one. But how do you feel about frozen fruits and vegetables? I read that they retain many of the nutrients of fresh. And I often watch fresh fruit spoil and it is expensive! But I found that I can get, for example, frozen berries from Trader Joe’s a lot cheaper than fresh and if I don’t eat them right away they last forever. I love blending a banana, water and other berries as a nice frozen smoothie.

    Great job Kevin! Keep up the good advice.
