I'm a raw and living foodest. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what that is I only eat foods that have not been cooked. I do this because it maintains all of the nutrients and enzymes intact and is much healthier. I'm not here to try to convert anyone. I think you can reach maximum health by eating all kinds of foods fixed all kinds of ways. This is simply my life choice. What I'm here to do is help educate people as to what is happening to thier food. Did you know that the pharmaceutical companies have lobbied to have a law voted on called "Codex Aimentarius" that will take away our freedom to take suppliments? It has already been implemented in Europe. Of course it is still ok for them to put steroids, antiboitics and harmones in our foods. Have you wondered why there is a great influx of people acting aggressively and out of character? I'm here to help guide you through this mess. If you want to eat meat...eat meat...just get chemically free meat. I'm here to help you understand what is happening to you.

13/f, my grandmother used to be okay, never used to get into my way, always feeding us, and helping us. I went to this award banquet, and she didn't like what I was wearing. When she described what I should wear, it was a wedding dress. I explained that for this occasion, you just wear simple things, but she didn't listen. I went the way I looked anyhow. Everyone who passed us, she would say, you see how that person has that... and other what nonsense. She said how my breasts were sticking out. Bra or no bra, of course it would show, I have breasts, wouldn't the shape and size of it show? Now for graduation, she's forcing to dress up in some wedding gown thing. My mom had to tell her no. My grandmother thinks that I'm dressing the wrong way. What's her problem?
Answer to second question at the bottom.
When I was your age you had to (if a girl) dress up wearing a girddle w/stockings, your best dress shoes and a dress w/ white gloves just to go into the downtown area. I remember the first time I saw someone wearing a pair of blue jeans in the downtown area I thought how strange they looked. Things are definately different now for better or worse. I sometimes think people take things a little far, but I also am a believer in personal expression. Just because I don't think it looks all that great doesn't mean it doesn't. Your grandmother is just remembering a time when people dressed for certain occassions. To be honest it was fun at the time and I think she doesn't want you to miss out on this. It's ashame she is so closed minded in this area though. I don't see the harm in her suggesting them, but she should be understanding if you don't choose her suggestions. Sometimes people can't get out of their heads. What I do when my mother is like this is ignore her. I let her say whatever she wants and I nod my head, say ok alot, and then go ahead and do whatever I want. Don't argue w/her, let your mother do that. It only causes stress for you and her to argue w/her. As long as your mother doesn't have a problem w/how you dress I wouldn't worry about her. Your grandmother doesn't really have any power over you, just your mother and father. They are the ones who make the decisions that affect your life. But to keep peace, let your grandmother say whatever she wants, keep quiet,do whatever you want, and enjoy life. Don't let these insignificant little glitches bogg you down. Good luck and happy life!
Namaste!

In answer to your question as to if I'm Hindu or not:
In a way I am. I follow the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. In his teachings he also incorporates the teachings of Jesus Christ as a great Yogi and Master. I go to his temple here in Atlanta. I have most of his writings and have read his most famous book, "Autobiography of a Yogi", if you ever have a chance to read it I think you'll find it facinating. I believe all religions are manificatations of ONE, who was simply trying to reach us all through our many cultures, which is why there are so many views on how to reach the same goal. I believe all the religions of the world are right and I believe all of the religions of the world are wrong. Yin and Yang. Now if only we could join forces rather than seperate ourselves we would be able to accomplish things more beautiful than we could ever imagine.
Namaste!
