Is The Raw Food Diet Good For You? - The Larger View

In an article on timesonline in the UK entitled Is Raw Food Good For You, the writer states: Cutting out meat, fish, eggs, dairy foods and cereal grains would result in the loss of many nutrients.

Who could argue with the fact that cutting out meat, fish, eggs and dairy foods would result in the loss of many nutrients!

The thought does not occur to her apparently that eating these foods raw IS part of a healthy raw food diet.

You just need good sources to know for sure what you are eating – for example are your eggs from cage free chickens? Does it matter if they are fertilized? Are the chickens fed waste products? Or soy? Is raw cheese salted? What is wrong with adding salt? Do I get enough natural salts in a balanced raw diet? Is the beef or buffalo or mutton grass fed exclusively? Are the fish from the deep sea or from contaminated waters?

There are lots of questions. Aajonus has asked these questions and many more. In addition to The Recipe for Living Without Disease which tells many practical and important facts and techniques for food preparation, he has created a report of producers and distributors in the USA whose food products are within his standards.

There are other questions about organic vegetables exclusively which can be important because vegetables and particularly vegetable juice is part of a balanced raw diet. The word organic gets re-defined by vested interests to the point where the only way to be sure of the nutrient value of your vegetables is to grow them yourself using techniques you will find at www.organicfoodforless.info. Other gardeners and horticulturists have parts of the picture but this horticulturist in Australia has the whole picture and it is easier, costs less and is more rewarding than you may have thought.
