About SusanOBrien

Susan O'Brien is an expert in the raw food movement. She swears by the healing power of good food. She discovered there are a lot of raw foodists who eat for functional reasons only, but Susan was determined to seek out recipes that taste good (and not like bird food). So she studied culinary trained raw foodists like Mathew Kenney, who inspired her tremendously. Her goal is to share this new way of eating with the world. She could not buy this food anywhere in Texas, so she set about to create Hail Merry. So into this paradigm shift of how America thinks about food she went! She is now more than ever determined to bring forth more snacking options free of synthetic vitamins, heat extracted oils, gluten and soy fillers that are found in many so-called health bars and snacks.

(Insert immature … [Read more...] about Why Coconut Oil Is So Good For Pregnant & Nursing Mothers

Why Low Fat Diets Don’t Work

August 16, 2011 by SusanOBrien Leave a Comment

Have you ever been around a pre-menopausal woman on a low fat diet?  WATCH OUT!  Not only will she be on edge from hunger, but her hormones will be totally out of whack! In addition she will most likely overeat carbs due to her hunger, which will in turn spike insulin production and lead to excessive weigh gain.  Angry, overweight, and hormonal is no way to go … [Read more...] about Why Low Fat Diets Don’t Work

My Vegan Journey Revealed

May 21, 2011 by SusanOBrien Leave a Comment

With all the talk about Oprah and her staff’s 28-day vegan challenge, I thought it would be good to give some insight into my vegan journey, which began 6 years ago. I am the founder and creator of the raw, vegan, gluten-free snack food brand Hail Merry. I have passed through the worlds of being an omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, and high raw foodist and now I proudly … [Read more...] about My Vegan Journey Revealed

Why I Chose Gluten-Free

May 2, 2011 by SusanOBrien Leave a Comment

I have to admit that when I decided to go gluten-free 6 years ago it was not because I had celiac disease or even got noticeably sick when I ate gluten. Pure vanity was at the core of why I wanted to experiment with going gluten-free (there - I said it)! After all, gluten is what is found in processed baked goods, pasta and bread, all of which lead to weight gain. That fact … [Read more...] about Why I Chose Gluten-Free
