Is a Raw Food Diet Healthy?
© Sifu Renka
What should we be eating? Is a raw food diet best? Is it even healthy?
You have to have a sense of humor about the subject of nutrition. If you didn’t laugh, you’d probably cry!
Let’s look at the big picture here. Every natural living thing knows what to eat except us human beings.
Isn’t that totally bizarre when you really think about it? We need clever people with Ph.D’s to have “diet wars” and study for decades — all trying to decide what a healthy diet looks like… Read more

Running an ethical business isn’t always easy.
Providing effective, trustworthy health information means making tough decisions along the way…
James and I have occasionally talked about changing our plan. But we never have and we never will.

My good friend Rob is an “honorary” uncle to his best friends’ little girl Chloe.
He told me a heart-warming story yesterday — a story that reminded me of a very common parenting mistake!
It’s a mistake I made myself and it’s one of my BIG regrets as a parent — getting the food thing wrong… terribly, terribly wrong.

Want to know how to stop worrying about your health and just BE healthy?
James and I here at Habit Guide are not health fanatics…
The point is to get into healthy habits so you’re just healthy and happy every day.

That’s the way it should be, don’t you think?
Life is too short and there’s so many other things to experience. A healthy lifestyle gives you a solid foundation for your life, so you’re free to go on and develop your passions for whatever your thing happens to be… Read more

The US Department of Agriculture recently made the decision to completely deregulate genetically engineered alfalfa, meaning that farmers can now freely plant these genetically engineered seeds anywhere…
The announcement on January 27th by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsac has raised alarm among many in the organic foods movement. Why is this, and is it relevant to human health? After all, most of us don’t eat alfalfa. Yet it is relevant at many levels… Read more
