Guest guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 [bTW, some of the celebrities mentioned have not necessarily " gone raw " , like Alicia and Demi, but likely have been seen at raw restaurants, like Juliano's Raw] THE RAW FACTS Proponents say not cooking can do a body good By Karen Feldman cuisine May 13, 2009 http://fortmyers.floridaweekly.com/news/2009/0513/top_news/001.html DEMI MOORE, WHOSE TAUT body and flawless skin belie her 47 years, proudly goes raw. So do Alicia Silverstone and Beyonce, Angela Bassett and Donna Karan. Famed Chicago chef Charlie Trotter has devoted a whole book to the subject. The raw food movement has become a hot — uh, make that cool — form of vegetarianism that champions uncooked vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, grains, beans and seaweed as the staples of a healthy diet. In recent years, restaurants devoted to raw food have opened around the country. Vibe Cuisine (formerly Veggie Magic) in Sarasota is the closest one to Southwest Florida, but raw fare is cropping up around the area, appearing on restaurant menus, starring in (un)cooking classes and sparking the formation of groups in Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Naples through which members share meals, recipes and information about the raw life.
