I think peanut butter may make my lymph nodes swell... I'm not sure if this is an allergic reaction or a natural reaction to something that may not be healthy. I've heard there's toxic mold that grows on the peanuts before theyre processed.

How do you react to peanut butter? Is there any truth to the mold rumor?

I'm sort of new to this lifestyle, and very new to the forum. I eat mostly raw veggies, but I cook my meats. I've never eaten raw meat in my life, unless smoked salmon counts. I just can't wrap my head around it - the texture and taste (or what I THINK to be the taste) of raw meat seems so... inedible. I've always thought eating raw meat would make me sick and kill me, and I always wash my hands thoroughly just after touching it.

How do you guys prepare your raw meats? What would you suggest to someone who is easing into it? Are there any kinds of meat that are unsafe to eat raw?

Any additional info will be much appreciated!
