Get ready for the raw food revolution

 

Food News

01 April 2008

 

Raw food has long been seen as the preserve of Woody Harrelson and

health nuts, but now it seems to be moving into the mainstream due to

environmental concerns. Greenies, get ready for the Raw Food Revolution.

 

Orthodox raw foodists do what they say on the tin -- they only eat raw

food. They believe that when food is heated above 40 degrees Celcius

the molecular structure changes, which can create unnatural and

potentially dangerous chemical compounds. By treating food by means of

fermenting, pickling or dehydrating, they preserve the nutrients and

enzymes that raw food contains. While most raw foodists joined the

'crusade' for health reasons, new raw revolutionaries have joined the

fun for environmental and animal welfare reasons.

Hi Jeff,

I really enjoy all the links that you post - so refreshing to see how much

interest there is in raw now.

Big difference in the last decade. . . .
