“Are you eating ALL raw foods only?”
“How many percent are you eating raw?”
“So you have no social Life? How do you go out with friends and family?!”

While I recounted the number of times I’d been asked these questions, I realized that most conventional people have a somewhat twisted perception of raw foods.

There used to be a point in my life when I thought that eating too much fruit could be “harmful” to my body. Mainly because of 2 reasons - 1) I was afraid it may contribute to excess calories and thus weight gain, 2) I was afraid of malnutrition by missing out on other “important food groups like flesh foods, dairy/cooked grains etc”, and 3) I was afraid it may cause diabetes.

Let’s take a more scientific approach to things:

First of all, there are 3 concepts we are looking at here - the first is Overeating Calories, the second is Malnutrition, and the third is The Real Cause of Diabetes.

For years, my shopping trips have been restricted to just a few lanes in the supermarket.

These are the fresh vegetables sections, fresh fruits sections and whole/organic packaged foods sections.

I seldom wander into the packaged, processed foods or convenience foods section unless I need to grab some other household neccessities like paper towels.

The reason is simple - I find it increasingly difficult to trust food manufactures and food regulating authorities, thus reading labels have lost its purpose.

“Media, Media on the Wall. Who’s the most deceptive, of them all?”

It is so heartening to see fellow mankind waking up gradually to the misrepresentations of society. 2 years ago, when I tell my friends that milk & dairy may not be so good for us, they tell me to “relax, everyone is consuming it so it should be fine!”. Now, when I tell them the same thing again, they go “really? I read that somewhere too, maybe there’s some truth…”

Are you one of the many who owns a microwave and appreciates its convenience? I was definitely one of them, being the busy executive who is always running short on time. At one point in my life, I was using the microwave oven to cook anything from packaged foods, pop corn, vegetables, meat and even warm drinks & soups. And man, I was definitely not in the best of shape then!
