raw foodism

raw, uncooked, bare.

been eating raw, vegan, drops of honey here and there.

summer in my belly, cooks the food, makes it easy to digest. but in the winter...how would it be in the winter?

for years, i'vedone stints with raw, quick as most ny relations, week-long affairs with greens and nuts and fruits.

but this time its different. this time there is no timeline...this time i'm digging raw in a deeper way, this time raw is more than a dogma, more than a point to prove, more than just a discipline.

the idea of raw is live foods. life giving foods. suns already cooked the food. suns already gave it warmth and love and all. doctors may disagree. i don't know. it makes sense. seasonally, in warm/hot weather, raw makes sense.

raw is arbitrary at times. what is live and what is raw may be at conflict at times.

almonds just raw, could be taxing on the digestive tract. a lot to break down. intestines cutting through steel. overworked. the almonds may need to be soaked over night.

yogurt can be a raw food, as it is live. it has active bacterial cultures. for a raw foodist, having this yogurt as part of a raw process is the defining point. from the udder to the cultured curd, instead of from the udder through a pasteruization process. i'm avoiding any food that comes from animal-cousins, at the moment...wanna get deeper in my connectivity to relatives.

live foods are sustaining, feel good in the body. body loves it. feels and looks resilient.

live food diet requires focus, discipline, preparatory time.
