"Earning a Living"

So yesterday, we were watching the stars and thinking about our lives... and suddenly we realised we're not living.

We're told to "earn a living" but what does that mean?

Why should you EARN the right to LIVE? to EAT? to be COMFORTABLE?
Why is water not free?!? (At least in this part of the world, there are drinking fountains all over Europe)
Why does food not grow on trees in public gardens and parks?!*
Why is shelter not free?!?!?!??!

Borders create this prison we're in. The land belongs to all of us, we should live together, share water, share food, share shelters, and most of all enjoy being free and not spending this thing called money.

Who are they to tell we need to make money so we can enjoy life?!

Let's go back to the forests, jungles, beaches, mountains...and truly LIVE.

But here's the thing... if you don't want the system and you wish to destroy it, you must find a way through it... For instance if you want to live on the beach you're going to have to buy that piece of land so that it is ''yours'' forever and you can live however you want on it. Plant your food, eat it, poop it, give it back the the Earth and get more food .. the beautiful cycle of Life.

You have to find the hole in the system and drag it down through it. But it all starts with baby steps, and people are already doing this around the globe.. From India to Costa Rica, Ecuador... etc. It's truly inspiring and we are seriously going to do that soon!

* I recently saw a banana tree in front a school next to my house, I'm gonna take one and give the rest to the people living nearby, especially porters and policemen... they get paid almost nothing and they should start planting food for themselves and others!

Starting the raw diet :)

My fiancé and I are devout animal lovers, and have recently decided that we will not eat mammals, they're too cute and the meat industry is too terrible, so unless we find free-range animal farms are we're desperately craving meat, we're going to eliminate it from our diet.

So we started the raw pescetarian diet...well almost.
(You can read more about the benefits of raw food in a previous post)

We will eat all these raw (in salad or juiced):

You can make tons of yummy raw desserts, using nuts, like chocolate mousse:

But we're still Egyptian so we need our legumes!! Fool, lentils, chickpeas... and these can be soaked in water and cooked on low fire over a long period of time.. that way more proteins are preserved and we still stick to our traditions :) They're also full of iron...

Speaking of iron.. It's super important to eat nuts and seeds, which can also be incorporated in amazing raw desserts.

Bird food, yum!

It's still important to remember, everyone is different and we all have our needs. If you're menstruating and feel anaemic and are craving a steak... go for it! Just make sure the cow lived a happy life and actually WALKED, that it didn't get stuck in a roofed building its whole life - heart breaking video here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xwpkbw_assembly-line-of-death_animals

ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT: You need fats, and certainly you may get them from eggs and fish (raw) but if you're going vegan, then don't forget to include olive and coconut oil, they're so good for you and you need the lipids!

This might sound a bit controversial, don't hesitate to contact us if you have any philosophical questions.
