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.

God, I have a real problem. When I first came to Jr. High last year I was myself 100%. I didn't give a care what people thought about me, or who my friends were. Then in the middle I started changing my looks and the way I talked, and I found myself ditching my old friends (who were kind of geeky) to be friends with newer and more popular ones. And it worked! Some of the popular people hang out with me now. But I feel really bad now. Now that im friends w/ the popular kids, I feel like I dont even need my old friends. I even LIKE my new friends more than my old ones. So tell me... am I a total selfesh jerk for ditching my friends? And am I weird for changing myself?
There is nothing wrong with having different interests than your old friends and growing in another direction. Nothing is stopping you from loving your old friends for who they are and accepting that, but it doesn’t mean you have to spend time w/them if you don't enjoy the things they do and you prefer other activities or even other people. Whatever you do at least stay friendly w/your old friends. What I mean by that is say "hi" to them in the halls when you see them, tell them you like the sweater they are wearing (if you mean it), and be kind to them. Don't act as if they don't exist. But you don't have to hang out w/them if you don't enjoy their company anymore and there is nothing wrong with that. Your path in life is yours to take. Don't let guilt tie you down. Guilt is a fear based emotion and it only clouds your judgment. A lot of people make truly bad decisions based on guilt. Your lower level of like for your old friends could be mingled w/your feeling of guilt over your transition into other interests. A lot of times when guilt comes into a situation we become irritated w/anyone or anything that brings that feeling of guilt up in us. We perceive that we like the situation or someone less as a result. Let the guilt go and you will see that you still like your old friends, but that still doesn't mean you have to hang out w/them. Enjoy your new found interests and don't let those nasty negative feelings like guilt bog you down.
Namaste!

(Rating: 5) Thanks. I will take your advice and still talk to them in the halls and stuff, and I will try not to feel bad about what I did, because I really am happy with my new friends. -Becca
