Raw Food Freedom

Raw Food Freedom

Fruit songs! Recipes! Fun fruit facts! Come for the fruit, stay for the cute!

02/08/2019

It's the end of an era... well actually it has been for a long time, but I'm making it formal now.

As you know, I haven't put out any content under the RawFoodFreedom heading in some years. (can you even remember the last time? I can't.)

I know some of you have wondered what's up, so here's the short story:

- I'm doing great. Life is good. The man has not suppressed my voice, I've just moved my energy elsewhere for now.

- I'm spending most of my time with music, between teaching bass with BassBuzz (https://www.bassbuzz.com/?ref=2&campaign=Youtube) and gigging in the SF Bay Area.

- "RawFoodFreedom" is no longer a heading that particularly suits me, as I haven't eaten an all raw diet since 2012, though I remain committed to veganism and my morning banana smoothies. :)

- As much good stuff as I think there was in my philosophically oriented videos towards the later end of the Youtube channel, there's a lot lacking in the presentation, based on my current perspective. I've become a lot less inclined to yell philosophy in people's faces, and have felt a lot more draw to spreading information to people who are actually in my life, seeking it out.

So I don't feel moved to continue the RawFoodFreedom thread of my life, and haven't for some time. I do have a vision of someday sharing my thoughts again on philosophy, food, and spirituality, but it doesn't feel like something I'll do soon.

The RawFoodFreedom.net website will be going down shortly, as well as this page, and at least some of my Youtube videos that don't reflect the energy I want to put out in the world any more. (sorry, to those of you who might miss them)

I really appreciate all of you for your support over the years. Your thoughtful emails and Youtube comments. All my raw food coaching clients of many years ago. Those of you who enjoyed my very silly recipe book. :)

I'll be around, alive and well, growing and changing. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you want to keep in touch. I can't promise anything, as I'm very busy, but your reaching out will be appreciated at least. ❤️

Thank you for your attention, and I'll see you around our beautiful planet,

Josh Fossgreen

Bernie Sanders - The Shiniest Overlord In Town! 29/08/2015

My long awaited diatribe on our prospective shiny overlord!

Takeaway: Focus on fundamentals, don't let the details ensnare you.

P.S. Funny sidenote: One of Youtube's suggested tags for this video was "Politics (TV Genre)". Are we openly admitting it's all a charade now? :P

P.P.S. This video has gotten the most hater comments of any recent video! And yet, none of these haters have yet dared to put forth a rational argument! Apparently calling me names suffices to discount statements like "taxation is theft" and "governments don't have the right to a monopoly on force." Amazing!
