Article: Foodists go for raw materials

[Guest guest]

I found this article interesting and entertaining. BTW, it helps if

you like the word " like " . Here are my favorite lines:

Raw foodists talk about converting to the raw lifestyle like junkies

talk about getting clean

People don't realize the ways eating cooked food make them gross and

stinky, she explained.

Another raw foodist at the potluck, John Peck, thought he had back

pain, but it evaporated.

" I had things I didn't even know I had go away, " he said.

It could have been any Friday-night potluck in the little duplex off

Muldoon. People arrived with dishes swathed in plastic wrap. They made

had been cooked.

 

The guests were local raw foodists, drawn together by the Internet and

a shared commitment to raw fruit and vegetables, nuts, seeds and

sprouted grains. On the menu: dehydrated balls of jicama puree, raw

cacao cookies, " cheese " made of nuts and oil, and soft frozen cashew

ice cream with blueberry syrup.
