Date: January 15, 2012 07:39PM Well, you can juice a lot of them. I just finished a nice beet juice. 
Personally, I think the more fruits and veggies, the better, so tough root vegetables I'll eat lightly cooked rather than to not eat them at all. Fruits I consume almost without exception raw, though. Re: Why eat raw vegetables if we cant digest cellulose?

Date: January 15, 2012 09:22PM the undigested cellulose fiber is still helpfull for sweeping out the intestinal track .
i feel nature designed it this way intentially , if we digested everything and assimalated everything then one would think we wouldnt require an anus to expel things .. we do have an anus so its there to expel waste , that waste requires matter to pick it up and carry it along ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: Why eat raw vegetables if we cant digest cellulose?

A very good point indeed. There is something really weird, which I never knew until I took anatomy. The G.I tract is technically 'outside' of the human body, even though it goes right through the center. I thought that an odd point of view in a way, but it makes sense in that in a healthy person the mouth to anus is continuous. Its sort of like having a long curvy doughnut hole in the middle.

Date: January 16, 2012 07:26AM That cellulose is like a broom... just think of cleaning your house. You don't need to eat the broom for it to work. It just escorts everything you don't need out of the way. Re: Why eat raw vegetables if we cant digest cellulose?

Date: January 16, 2012 10:05AM The best way I ever heard it described was that the human digestion is like a river flowing. That was Ancient Evenings by Norman Mailer. Re: Why eat raw vegetables if we cant digest cellulose?

Date: January 16, 2012 09:32PM I found a you tube video recipe. Doesn't get any easier than that to learn how to make them.
