Food Matters - The Raw Food Diet
Moda & I watched an awesome doco on the weekend called Food Matters. I've already started eating vego (only for about 4 days tho) and after seeing that, I think I want to start a raw food diet now too. Even if it's only for a couple of weeks to "de-tox". Totally made sense. They said there's a myth that you should be careful about taking too many vitamins but most people don't hesitate to take drugs (contraceptives, pain meds etc). Many many people die all the time from drug overdoses or adverse reactions to drugs, but the number of deaths from too many vitamins is something like 10 in 20 years. Seriously - it's hard to overdose on vitamins. Makes sense, doesn't it?? They also said many people are cynical about taking vitamins because of the wild claims that they fix so many things. They only fix lots of health problems because a vitamin deficiency will cause lots of health problems. Also - they said that our daily intake of food should be at least 51% raw food. 51%!! I can't believe how little raw food I actually eat. So here's to good heath, here's to sustainable living and here's to raw food. I'll let you know how I go. Totally recommend the doco.
