Joined December 2, 2008<p>I eat a raw diet and am happy to find others for support. It is challenging to eat so differently in this society, but I have developed a few philosophies about what to eat to make my life more simple. I don't like obsessing about food, I don't like living strictly, and I don't know why eating raw has to be synonymous with vegetarianism-- that is too strict for me. I have found that by including cheese, dairy, sprouted grain breads, eggs, and occasional meat (cooked rare or pan seared) that I still feel healthy and "raw" and am including so much more nutrients for my body to use. I also believe in eating in accordance with the seasons; I feel at my best when following a hunter/gather society's natural cycle, which is, more fruit and veggies in the summer and more meat and breads in the winter.</p> <p>Eating raw helps me feel closer to nature, and eating to the seasons brings me all that much more closer.</p> <p>I am 30 years old. I live in Texas. I really like it here because it's so warm and we have a long growing season... not that I grow-- I wish I could but I live in a tiny apartment with my husband and little boy. We have no yard or even sunlight :( But anyway, we're happy and we decided to go raw a couple months ago based on the outrageous claims that were being made, i.e., glowing skin, more energy, never getting sick, etc. I can't say any of that has occurred for me as of yet, but I do feel pretty good, and what I've really enjoyed is the new possibilities created in the kitchen... turns out I have a knack for this! My husband and I will stick with it because even if it doesn't do all these miraculous things, it does have many other benefits to us...</p> <p>Now if I could just get my 2 year old into it more...</p>
