No, I haven't gone raw foodie here. I still cook, and I also eat meat. I admit, however, that David Wolfe is on to something with raw food diets.
Whether one is a raw foodie or not, there is much that one can learn from a man like David Wolfe. There are MANY healing protocols that use raw food as a foundation of therapy. This includes protocols for AIDS, cancer and heart disease. There is so much that I've posted about why it isn't a good idea for people to be on raw food diets permanently and there are several doctors like Dr. Mercola who talked about why they don't recommend it. Even though I happen to agree with that, I also know there is another side to this story and I wanted to post that side; especially since there are many who believe in it so passionately. Besides, I can't say that I blame those of you who do; I can actually relate in a way. When I gave up meat years ago, my energy skyrocketed. I didn't ever want to lose that so I stayed away from meat for almost 10 years. When you find a diet that actually heals you and makes you feel good, you tend to stick to it for years if not for life. This is why I refuse to impose my beliefs about eating meat upon others; rather, I would encourage ALL to listen to their bodies and if it screams for raw food and nothing else... GO FOR IT!
So to all of my raw foodie readers, I hear you, and I dedicate this month to you!
