Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-15 00:00:00 Jason Seifert I just finished reading page 30 and this quote blew me away. Then I noticed someone put it in their review on Goodreads. OF COURSE that is how we should eat. "Not everyone makes time to pray, study the scriptures, or think about God each day, but most everyone makes time to eat. If our heart and mind are focused on experiencing food as a love note from God, eating becomes not only a way to nourish and love ourselves, but each meal becomes a time for enhanced spiritual awareness and gratitude to God. It becomes a way to directly experience a meaning of 'give us this day our daily bread'. It provides a regular opportunity for the conscious eater to take the time to receive and read God's love note, rather than toss it unconsciously into the garbage can of the stomach. Eating consciously is a way of opening one's heart to God. It is a way to feel the Divine presence." (p. 30)" Conscious eating picks up where "Intuitive Eating" by Resch and Tribole and "Women ,Food and God" by Geneen Roth leave off. He talks about WHY you don't want to read a magazine or watch TV and eat and the same time (one of Geneen Roth's food rules). He also discusses the basis of the book "Intuitive Eating", that you want to stop eating when you are full. But, he adds the idea that you want to notice how you feel after you eat so that you put food in your body that makes you feel light and free rather than heavy and weighed down. I have just started reading this book, but I already know this is one book I want to buy and keep as a reference. It feels good to read the truth. For the moment, I have been inspired to eat less and to eat more vegetarian. Now I will see if I can continue to adhere to it.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-27 00:00:00 Kim Geoffroy This book gives such a good summary of the benefits of a raw food vegan diet. Ever since I read this book, I have wanted to visit the author's health retreat in Arizona. I still hope I get to go there. The book is very cutting edge. I was fascinated by the books information about the science behind freshly made juices. I was trying to find information about this two decades later, and this book still had the best explanation of how fresh juice nourishes and detoxifies our cells. I consider this the "Bible" of raw food vegan diets.
