Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Raw Deal Veggie Magic in Sarasota 12.19.07 http://tampa.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=353003 The Bay area is far from a hotbed of vegetarian or vegan activity, with few restaurants dedicated to serving meatless diners. It's even worse down in Sarasota, except they have one thing going for them: the Gulf Coast's first raw restaurant — Veggie Magic (4428 Bee Ridge Road, Sarasota, 941-377-6209 or veggiemagic.com) — newly opened last month. There is only one rule governing raw diets: Nothing can be heated to more than 105 degrees. Although some raw adherents eat fish or dairy products, most are vegans as well. The largely unscientific theory is that heating is an unnatural process that erects a barrier between humans and nature, and destroys essential amino acids and nutrients.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Thanks, Jeff. BTW, Sarasota (FL) has another raw thing going for it: The wonderful Zoria Restaurant on Main Street has a Raw Foods section on its menu, featuring fabulous sophisticated raw vegan dishes that are loved by raw vegans and carnivores alike.
