This gave me so many great ideas - thank you so much for writing and posting this! I'm a fairly new reader to your blog and it has made me really excited about eating more raw foods. I already notice that it feels better to eat more raw foods. I really like the way I can get to a point of feeling really full (which I like to feel), the food digests quickly so I don't feel really full for a long time, I feel energetic afterwards, and it sustains my energy levels for a long time. I eat a lot of beans with the raw food though because I love beans. I was wondering, do you not feature sprouted beans, such as chickpeas, on your blog much because they are hard to digest, especially for someone who used to have IBS? I am intrigued by sprouted beans but they don't seem popular among people who eat a lot of raw food, I'm guessing because of toxins and digestibility issues? If you have the time, I would love to hear any advice you have on the subject. If you're too busy with a new semester though, it's no big deal. I am really glad I found your blog! :) (Through Susan's Fat Free Vegan Kitchen!) This post is so awesome and was so cute with all of the descriptions!

A few questions maybe you can answer for me... Q1: What is the approximate volume of your average salad? I ride my bike to work then school, and pack 3 meals daily into a large but compact 3-tier bento/tiffin. Each of the 3-levels holds 4 cups. Is 4 cups adequate room for an entree salad? I have enough stuff to tote around all day, so I'd rather not need to bring a larger salad bowl too. Q2: I teach at a nut-free preschool (includes coconut too!). Do you have any suggestions for ways to bulk up my salads without sending any of my students to the emergency room? Thanks! -A tiffin totin', salad lovin', hungry teacher :) What great salad ideas!

You should create a flexible guideline for salads. For example: 2 different types of proteins, 3-5 different types of veggies, 1-2 different types of fruit, etc. I'm the kinda girl who likes guidelines and I'm sure there are other people out there like me.
