RThe idea behind raw foods is all about enzymes. Every living thing contains within it the enzymes to break it down. When we die, cathepsin with digest us. What we call "decomposing" is actually self digestion.Gross huh? Think about all those sad saps eating "aged" meat. It's so tender. Why? Because it's DECOMPOSED!Our pancreas creates most of our enzymes. Due to our unhealtthy lifestyles, our pancreas is 3 times the size of a cow's! Now, 90% of our pancreas creates digestive enzymes. 10% of our pancreas creates metabolic enzymes. Those do the repair work on our bodies.When our diet gets so bad our body has to use that 10% to digest our food, we start falling apart. Disease runs rampant.Fasting also helps our metabolism since when we fast our body isn't forced to create digestive enzymes. Cooking food destroys it's enzymes. We're told "Milk does a body good" (well, we aren't told that any more since the dairy council got sued by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine - false advertising...) But in truth, pastuerization destroys anything that was ever good in milk. 300 milligrams of calcium is rendered to only 30 milligrams that is "bioavailable" - which means our body can use it. You get more calcium from 1 fig.Lots of raw foodists use raw milk and raw cheese products. I tried doing the raw food thing. While any injury or illness did heal faster, I already have a high metabolism. I couldn't eat enough to keep up. Plus, raw milk and raw cheese still keeps 10 cows enslaved just for me. That's a whole village of folks getting food and water if I go vegan. Better option...

RI used to work for Jenny Craig. Jenny Craig is a calorie counting program. It is similar to Weight Watchers, except you purchase your food from Jenny Craig, and in Weight Watchers, you cook your own.The most highly successful program for exactly what you are describing in your question above, is one called, Weigh Down, by Gwen Shamblin. You can Google Search this, and find it easily. It is Internet based, as well as live groups in your area. All the information you need is on their website.This program has an extremely high success rate for people with eating disorders, addiction problems, or those wanting to lose weight. It is nominally priced, so most any budget can participate. I recommend Weigh Down head, and shoulders above any other program out there!Hope this helped you.

Rit would depend on the amount of food made or the quality. maybe price things depending on what you make because macaroni and mashed potatoes may take about the same length of time to make, but DEFFINATLY have different leverls of effort needed. so make a menu of sorts i guess.

R Of course you can do it on your own. But some people need the structure that prepmade portion controlled food gives them. Sometimes it is just too easy to take an extra serving of food that you do not need or give in to that craving for chips ;) Here is a group that just started that is dedicated to doing using the menu plans offered on the Jenny website (for free!!) with foods that come from the grocery store. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Jennyonmyown/

Lastly, please consider the results of "NASA's Clean Air Plant Study" that can improve your environment drastically."Common indoor plants may provide a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air pollution. Those plants in your office or home are not only decorative, but NASA scientists are finding them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and cleaning the air inside modern buildings.""NASA research has consistently shown that living, green and flowering plants can remove several toxic chemicals from the air in building interiors. You can use plants in your home or office to improve the quality of the air to make it a more pleasant place to live and work - where people feel better, perform better, any enjoy life more."TOP 10 plants most effective in removing: formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide from the air.

RPut a sign in the window saying you have free waste cooking oil and maybe post your restaurant address and the same info re: free waste oil in the Alternative Fuel section here. You might even post in craigs listOnce you get a regular taker for this, you might set up recycling tubs in the back kitchen. You could then post another sign in the window saying "We've Gone Green" This could garner you some new customers.
