Roasted, salted nuts - are they that bad or is there still some goodness?

How did you discover Vega?

Through a holistic nutritionist!

Tell us a little more about yourself

I'm a primary school teacher living in Toronto. I'm really interested in food and learning more about the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I'm hoping to study holistic nutrition as soon as time and money permits! :)

I just wrote to Jay that I actually look for you 2 around the community because you both are so great. I love sharing with my husband about you 2. You're awesome Lisa. I'm so glad I've subscribed to your blog - I'm always inspired. My husband loved the green smoothie story and the little girl.

God Bless You.

If you get the opportunity, either before or after the seminar, to go up and say hi to Brendan I am certain that he will be more than happy to sign a book for you!

Best,

I'm following your blog girl. Gonna post some questions on sprouting.
You're awesome.

Lessons from a Layoff

I knew that this would be tough. I can't run right now and all I can think about is running...
