No school. No degrees. Self-taught, self-read, self-made businessman." I understand that perhaps you were trying to show your children that life-long learning is important and having a love of what you do is as well. However, at the same time, do you think that you may have shown them that school is not necessary as long as you "like what you do"? Learning about that which only interests you, or have a passion for, limits your scope of knowledge. I may be taking this out of context, but are you saying school is not necessary as long as you are successful and like what you do? “And while I already guessed the answer, I asked him the one question I wanted my kids to hear the answer to. “So Matt, how did you get into all of this?” You guessed it.

I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. Since I am on the road a lot here are my helpful tips to staying vegan/veggie in the middle of now where: 1) www.happycow.com - put in a zip code and see what vegan restaurants are around you. 2) www.healthyhighways.com - same idea. 3) Wal-mart - I have issues shopping here, but not for the fact that they are guaranteed to be everywhere in the country and that they started stocking a decent selection of natural foods. 4) Subway - Guaranteed to be everywhere and their selection of vegetables is actually pretty good. Take out the bread and get a salad bowl and you have yourself a nice meal. Terence asked: "Did Matt discuss the cost of eating that way?" Most people think eating this way costs a lot of money, but that totally depends on what stores you are shopping in. The major chain stores Jewel and Dominick's are the ones by us in Chicago mark up the price, almost 2 times, of all the veggie stuff so to the average shopper it is very expensive to eat this way. However we shop almost exclusively between Trader Joes, Wholefoods, and a local place called Treasure Island. Each place has specifics that are cheaper than anywhere else and much cheaper than the major food stores. So in the end, yes you can be vegan and have an average food bill. If nothing else, one less trip to the emergency room, or 6 months more added on your life can be priceless. We bounce back and forth between vegan and veggie.

Some folks go through life and never get any satisfaction form living. What a waste. It is so necessary for an individual to find his/her passion in life and pursue it.

What is disconcerning to Will is that teachers simply publish them in a different way and not understand the shift of pedagogy. It is a lack of understanding of how networks work. Used current post about raw food to show example. Currently, there are 30 comments, to help push and shape the message. Look at thread, there is a huge amount of learning.

Triggering passion, creativity and motivation is a tricky challenge I think you are giving your kids a great gift by helping them ingest these experiences, even if a kale shake makes me feel a bit quesy.

It's a really positive thing to show your kids someone with such verve for life. I'm into raw foods so I have some questions specifically about your wonderful visitor. How did you, or rather, your wife find Matt? There's a rather famous raw chef out there goes by the name Matt. Is it the same one, I wonder? That sounds great!

I loved to eat a mostly raw food diet. I always feel good, am never sick, and never have any stomach problems or any ailments for that matter. Thank you for sharing!
