The Raw Life

[Guest guest]

I've just finished reading THE RAW LIFE by Paul

Nison. I give it a somewhat mixed review, but I'll take

what is good and leave the rest. <br><br>Of what is

good, is Nison's advice to start out by eating raw til'

noon. This I did this week, bypassing that powerful

habit of coffee and energybars for raw juices, fruits,

or some nuts and seeds. Just doing that, what I

difference I feel!<br><br>Also of what is good, the second

part of N's book contains several interviews with

longtime Raw Foodist. I feel this is the most interesting

and useful info on raw foods I've yet come across,

well worth the price of the book. Theory is fine, but

seem to me that there's an overabundance of theory and

a lack of shared experience in raw food lit.

Somehow it was comforting, not alarming, to see that many

longtime rawfoodists disagree on some things. One thing

seems clear to me, though I've been a raw sceptic for a

very long time -- I feel this raw foods deal is what

people are saying it is. I plan to continue up from 50%

to eating more raw every day.
