I started this post so i could hear your reasons for eating
raw food. do you like the food because it tastes good and
makes you feel better? or do you have to be conciously
trying to cleanse your body with raw food?

I like raw fruits and vegitables better than cooked
because they tast better, crunchier, cooler, more full
of flavours. and good fruit and or vegi juice is one
of my favorites.

this might mean that by body is cleaner than it
would be if I cooked every thing i eat.OK that is good.
and there are some foods that i really like that are
not concidered raw or live. I'm not perfect. nor do i
claim to be 100% pure. I probably could give up those
foods that are not 100% raw and live.
but if I tried to give up the raw foods that I eat.
I'm sure I wouldn't like it.

every one has their reasons for what they do.
I'd like to hear some of them. feel free to disagree
your arguements and debates are encouraged.

I had open heart surgery at an early age. I'm 34 now, so I think it's time for me to get a little more responcible with my eating habits.

Curiosity got me in first. I stayed when I discovered that this THE human diet. That is, the diet on which I (human) feel THE best.

Raw food makes me feel good. Cooked food makes me feel bad.

I freaked out that I might have cervical cancer because I started experiencing strange pains - first mild, then increasing in severity over the course of like 6 months. I had to wait a month for my health insurance to begin so I figured I better do a detox diet, if it was cancer I wanted to keep it under control till I could get to the doctor (I already knew that vegetables were the key to preventing and curing cancer - funny that I learned the scientific explanation for this in basic molecular biology class but cancer research is still focused on drugs - why is that?)

Anyway so I picked up Gabriel Cousens's book (figured might as well try a raw detox, something new) and never looked back.

In the first few weeks of the diet I noticed that if I ate any "normal" food, cervical pain would follow shortly thereafter. Maybe that's not enough to convince everyone, but it was enough for me!

As long as I'm eating raw food, no pain. Plus I feel awesome and it's just such an easy diet, contrary to the severe punishment it originaly sounded like. I love it!
