discovered the health and beauty benefits of eating a raw food diet! They say not only do they lose weight, but their skin and hair looks great too (Demi Moore, Jewel, Angela Bassett, and Alicia Silverstone are among the ones who have had great results). The funny thing is that's basically what the author of Alkalize or Die recommends, because cooking destroys the live enzymes we need in our food. I've known about enzymes for a long time and when I'm taking my supplements, I take various enzymes. That's also why juicing is a good thing if that's the only way you can get enough fruit and veggies. Anyway, I thought it was pretty neat that they're doing something that's truly healthy. I don't know if they realize how helpful this is to ward off adult onset diseases or not, but that's a big bonus.

Could you do a raw food diet?

It would be very difficult for me. I might be able to do it short term as sort of a detox, and then go back

As soon as someone can guarantee the safety of the meat supply, I'll give it a shot. Until then, give me steak and ribs once in a while, huh! I'm not Ewell Gibbons....

Unfortunately, except for maybe sushi, I think part of the goal is to not eat meat. I had forgotten about ole' Ewell and the Grapenuts commercials. What a blast from the past!
