I couldn't find any when I was there last week, and I'll be in DC several times over the next few years. For those of you who are wondering what the connection is, raw food is basically unprocessed, whole food in its natural state, and it should be organic. Yum. Thanks, e'body. :) Hey,

Coppi's has great stuff. We ate there as a group of 4 and ordered different stuff. They were consistent in all 4 dishes (plus an appetizer). And they have a *great* selection of wine! Yum!

FWIW, Here's a tip that helped me as I made the transition from diet soda to iced tea - I use solar power to make sun tea instead of heating up the water on the stove. Somehow, idea of using solar energy was enough to convince me to change my wasteful ways. (Yeah, yeah, then there's the whole problem with the energy used to make the ice, and I haven't figured out that one, except to try to make up for it by conserving elsewhere.) It is a small lifestyle change, but after a while, they add up, don't they? Have you read Barbara Kingsolver's latest book: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life? It is a good read, and ties right in with your topic. Kudos to you and DeafDC for shining a light on environmental issues!

Aren't we mammals too? :-) It seems to make sense to me, and I've seen her dog, oh man, not fat at all. She's happy, friendly, and she's very obedient. If I ever had a dog, I'd do the same. Not only that, my friend do mix the dog food with homemade cooked food, on occassions. Maybe that's what we all need to do for our furry friends. :-) A friend of mine told me that she’d rather cook food without additives, including chicken, vegetables, and so on, since she feels that we all eat the same.

I have fed my dogs organic food and treats plus a bone marrow once a month. To this day, my dogs -- age 3 1/2 and 4 -- teeth are free of tartar and bad breathe as well as are in top shape. I have read a book about many things veterinarians wouldn't tell you because they want to make $$. So far, I only take my dogs to the vet for their annual check up and shots. I spend a little more on quality food for my dogs and pay less for veterinary. A trade off :) As for me, I'm a vegetarian and need to make more effort to go for organic. I feed my dogs better than myself ha! To add what KJ said, it has the same effect on on animals. I have fed my dogs organic food and treats plus a bone marrow once a month.
