If you were given $1,000,000 to promote Raw Food, how would you spend it?

convincing others of raw food is futile. Unsensitive people only react to weight gain-loses (what they seek) or tv shows. Hey, a million $ tv show.

I would go to the inner cities and rural areas of America and speak at schools for free to spread the message of healthy eating. Those are the two worst areas for bad diet.

I would build a company to show and help people to grow their own organic
food in cities in their home, backyards

These are all GREAT Ideas - KEEP EM COMING!!!

Panchito, you're on to something, now GET CREATIVE!!!

Let's NEVER let this THREAD end.

ALWAYS keep thinking about how you can improve on what you're doing and what else you could be doing!

If you have not contributed to this Thread yet, keep thinking of your own ideas and in the meantime, keep reading what others have said and think about ways that you could HELP others.

And one more thing...

REMEMBER, no one way is going to reach everyone, so even if some ideas have FLAWS, only think about how we can make their way be more approachable to those who are SUFFERING and they NEED this Knowledge and above all - DO NOT SHOOT INSIDE THE TENT!!!

Once we reach the Tipping Point, then we can let our best and brightest tweak our Ideal Diet so that everyone can be the best that they can be!!!

You know how raw food retreats and programs cost a lot for many people?

I would make a system where people are chosen based on the application they submit (they could be sick and have no other choice but to go to such a retreat, or they have done something great for their community or loved ones) and a lottery system where people are granted free admission based on entering a lottery.

Lets say people need to spend $5000 for a retreat, then 20 people a year can be admitted to a retreat for free for 10 years. Then again, these retreat centers could do this themselves for 1 person each time but I don't think any of them do...

I would create an intentional raw community with a small number of raw specialists and organic farmers in permanent residence. It would be on a large farm and would sustain itself through its organic farming business. The community would have a large guest residence where temporary visitors would come, for free, to transition to a raw diet and then learn farming and nutrition. All of this would be done by attraction. I find health "outreach" of the Michelle Obama ilk to be a cynical political tool driven by ego. Money-makers, politicians, drama queens, attention whores, the loud, the closed-minded, the argumentative ["low-fat is better than fat!"], and the unpeacefully insane would not be welcome.

I would add to my message that it is not just the food but how you eat it chew it how you cleanse yourself how you stop eating for days

I would spend it to promote the health and well being of my favorite raw fooder-me, with nary a thought of any other raw fooder.

I would definitely not invite you to my intentional community.

Heavily promote to everyone how beneficial it is to juice their own home-grown sprouts and grasses and to take a variety of different algae's. Would also teach those how to follow a nutritionally adequate diet and to be wary of the dangers associated with fad diets such as the 80-10-10, fruitarian, and other low-fat diets. Set up seminars around the globe teaching people how easy it is to grow their own sprouts right in their own house all-year round and why much store-bought produce isn't as healthy as they believe it is.

I would not use it to promote raw foods because my role in the raw food movement is entirely different. I don't aim to educate the public and work with them for the large part. I don't choose to talk about raw foods and spiritual issues with anyone, l only speak with people about these things if they seek me out, and only then l will speak with them when l know they are ready to be given certain information. The information l give out is not for your average raw fooder, it is far beyond that, it is the whole package. Most who come to me will only be given a small part of the package, but some will get everything.

I do NOT allow advertising on my youtube because l have far too much respect for people than to bombard them with some person beating them down with advertising. Why do people allow advertising on their youtube?...why so commercial all the time? Why would you allow dubious advertisers to pollute your youtube channel,do you have no respect for yourself? Well,l will never allow any such pollution on my site, for it is the work of the devil. I have not seen a television commercial in over 20 years, l have not heard a radio advert in over 6 years, and l have NEVER seen a youtube advert (if a youtube advert comes on l turn down the sound and look away untilit is finished).

I do things in the spirit of Ann Wigmore, no fancy sites and videos and fakeness, just plain and real. That's how l like it, warts and all. I want to draw the right people for the right reasons...l don't want to glamourise raw foods, l want the people who are ready to do this for life.

The universal forces will send the people who are ready, and no advertising is needed to go after people. People who are destined to come to me will do so. I work with a small amount of people, and most people do not qualify.

If people want to know about raw foods l am not the person to ask, go find someone on youtube or someone locally who can help you. I am only interested in talking to a certain small audience. I don't need $1,000,000, nor do l need $1.

Now you're talking!

I haven't even got started Suez, l have got so much to say that it would take 1,000 life times to say it all.

It is hard having so much to say but not being able to say it. Much of what l want to say cannot be put into words because the messages are from a higher source that can only be understood telepathically because there are not the words in the English language to properly convey on the message.

The real deal is bringing people into `that' world (the everything world). Many people will do the raw food 101 world (the intro world where one goes from SAD into raw food 101 to get their feet wet and still highly karma based for many in that world). Others will do the raw food 202 world (some fresh grown foods and more thinking for one self). Others will do other more rewarding but highly disciplined worlds such as the raw food 505 world (living foods, largely thinking for oneself, some connection and wanting it all and half prepared to live a spiritual life with the discipline that comes with it) and the most ready will do the `everything world' lol....that is when you do the whole thing and raw foods become only a small part of it.

But remember...it is not about the personality teaching the message for they are merely the messenger. It is solely about the message being given, so lets not glamourise gurus.

In the everything world you live to serve and love others without seeking reward for it. Living on the vibration of love is what really floats your boat. You only do that when everything has fallen into place and you are at one with the light. You know 100% what you are and why you are here, and you have an inner peace. When you get like that you regularly cry at how wonderful and beautiful the world is because you actually see paradise....Lou cries and so do l, we cry at the beauty we see.

We do not the darkness we live under until we lift it. We are victims of possession by low level astral spirits and our spirit and physical world is a dark illusion. Each one of us sees the world differently according to our current circunstances, and when you lift the veal of darkness and minimise the degrees of illusion the world will look physically different..the light shines brighter and you feel lighter and you get to experience awesome stuff that cannot be talked about here. These things cannot be made up, one must experience them to be able to say things like this. When you experience these things you will 100% realise the illusions we live under when veals of darkness are lifted. Enlightenment is the tool for seeing through the illusion. The truth seeking sites will keep you IN the illusion and a slave serving the system, for that is their sole purpose.

Great question John Rose!

I would sponsor raw vegan studies and hire the best researchers, statisticians, etc. for collecting evidence that might support raw vegan diet for preventing/reversing diabetes and heart disease.

if you give an apple to a homeless, he gets angry. They want money. YOu need to first make them want raw food. If you give for free it will be taken for granted.

I would take a tour of all the raw food retreats with video and photos and write about my adventures all over raw Europe and raw Asia

Hey Panchito,

Have you given up on this?

If people aren't ready for the Raw Food Message, then how do you get them interested?

Once again, you're on to something, now GET CREATIVE!!!
