raw "junk food"

elizabeth

What do you guys think about the raw bars? I’ve been eating the Ani Phyo ones (Smart Monkey, I think) for breakfast because I like to run in the morning and they sustain me. Sometimes it seems like they’re more of a treat than something to rely on for breakfast. I’m also wondering about other treat items like cookies and pies. I know that when eating raw there is less of a need to be concerned about eating a lot of unhealthy food. I just don’t want to incorporate more raw food into my diet and end up being a “junk foodie raw” like the junk food vegans.

That is the beauty of being raw!! that you can have what you like and you are having good things for your body. As long as you don;t feel whacked out or lethargic ater it and you eat a more balanced diet during the day. I mean all that stuff can get a bit heavy depending on who is chef is and what you order…but just go by your bodies feeling afterwards. Its GREAT that you are a raw foodist full stop so you are doing well. In australia we don’t have raw bars…so I reckon you are lucky to be able to get something on the go…..Tis my dream to live in America where there are raw bars… :) I

well lexiloo, perhaps that is something to petition your local health food store with!! I live in sydney and there’s a GNC in glebe which is very large, and also Aboutlife in Rozelle which is the size of a supermarket… I might write to them asking to stock some raw bars… I think I would buy them almost every day to take to uni for breakfast!!!
