Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I want to remind everyone to play safe. I'm not referring to condom use, although that's not a bad idea. What I mean by playing it safe is if you know you or your partner has anaphylactic reactions to peanuts you should be careful in regards to kissing. I would recommend for a couple in this predicament to both avoid peanuts. If that's not an option or you accidently ate something with peanuts then you need to wait several hours and eat many meals without peanuts before kissing your partner.
This week I was a guest blogger for Raw-Food-Repair.com and I wrote about one of my recent crushes, singer Jason Mraz. He just won a bunch of Grammies and he is also a raw vegan. Raw-Food-Repair.com is a site all about raw food started by James Reno who has made staggering process in the fight against his own lymphoma and diabetes with a raw food diet.
