Hi! I live in Nebraska and just started. I am pretty excited and have so far found it easy to do. I thought that starting in the summer would be easier since it gets so hot here anyway. I just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself a bit. I am 23 years old and just happened on the raw food diet in the media. I have known that raw food was better for you for some time and just decided to try it out. I am just lucky that I live right next to a health food co-op.

How much is infinity divided by zero?

welcome! you should be proud to care about your body and look into raw foods at a young age. i'm 24 and there are so many people my age around me that are slowly killing their bodies and just don't care.

it can be difficult to do this in the midwest. know that you are not alone in Nebraska. my name is Adam & i live in Omaha. i've been researching, experimenting, and at times completely revelling in the beauty and peace of raw foods for the better part of 2 years. i've tried various approaches, and my most successful and longest experience my was staying nearly 100% high fruit/low fat (a la Doug Graham's 80-10-10 style approach) from January 20 of this year to late March). recently i've had a lot of emotional rockiness happen in my life and have experienced major backsliding, so things are not going so raw right now, but i wholeheartedly believe that fruit is our natural diet and that eating simply is the way to go for raw foods. i also believe that food is not the be all, end all of health.

so you live next to a co-op -- is that Open Harvest? i love that place. i used to shop there quite frequently last year, when i was driving to Lincoln twice a week to volunteer on an organic farm.
