Why eat raw? Simply put…you must!
Most of the posts on this site are going to specifically be about being or becoming a raw foodie but been doing some soul search of late and wanted to offer some inspiration to others…and myself.
Why be healthy? Why eat raw? Why do all the things that raw vegans say is good for you?
Simply put…you must.
You must be healthy because you don’t have a choice. Too much is riding on you. You have too much to lose to not be. Your family and loved ones have t0o much to lose for you to not be. Your career has too much riding on you being a fat slob. You are running out of time…start NOW!
You can’t make compromises or as Don Miguel Ruiz says agreements with yourself because you aren’t capable of living up to them. You can tell yourself all day long that you will only have one cookie or one bite of ice cream but the fact of the matter is that you aren’t strong enough to do it. The ambiguity of eating “healthy” is a joke. I recently heard a story of someone who decided to start eating “healthy”. Snack of choice? Grapes dipped in dry jello mix!
You are setting yourself up for failure if you don’t give yourself black and white directives and stick to them. I give myself two rules when it comes to what I put in my body. 1. If it doesn’t grow out of the ground…I don’t eat it. 2. If it does grow out of the ground and it is cooked…I don’t eat it. Try giving yourself similar guidelines and see how much more progress you make vs saying “I am going to eat raw as much as I can”.
Remember you are doing this because you MUST. Not because you should or because you want to or for any other reason. You simply must be the healthiest person you can or you will die trying.

That is some inspirational stuff. Never knew that opinions could be this varied. Thanks for all the enthusiasm to offer such helpful information here.
Thanks. Just for curiosity what do you mean by “opinions being this varied?” Do you mean what the definition of “healthy” is?
