Live foods are those which carry light – a life force; most common accepted are animals (red meats, seafood, fish, poultry).
I quit eating animal protein many years ago – but to be honest, it was only because of health problems; I had really loved my seafood (Louisiana…seriously! Best seafood ever!) and chicken.
But my body wasn’t made for eating animals – apparently my body couldn’t digest animal proteins. I begrudgingly, and oh so slowly, gave it all up.
It has taken many years to learn to cook meals without meat; and then a few years to learn to cook without tofu.
I eventually settled into a routine – foods that my taste buds didn’t necessarily like, but my body did.
Since I semi-retired, (when I could eat) I had been eating a green salad every day at lunch. It consisted usually of lettuce, hearts of palm, tomato, garbanzo beans, cucumber, and either pecans, sunflower seeds or pine nuts (no dressings).
However, for over a week now, I hadn’t had my salad.
Today was different – my body called out for a salad.
I actually felt its life force and my body hummed with the salad’s life force.
I knew plants had a life force; but my body never so blatantly responded to it before.
After lunch, I felt uplifted, positive and energized…usually lunch leaves me sleepy and droopy.

and it changed me somehow ~
I am curious to see what else has changed.
