Most people I talk to who are raw or mostly raw fooders usually have a larger reason for having made the switch from the conventional "American diet." For most, initially, it was because of health issues of one kind or another, but as they continued through with this way of eating, larger reasons began to emerge. Such things as global sustainability, planetary stewardship, contributing to the health of local economies, establishing a closer relationship with the food we fuel our bodies, and a preference for feeling lighter, more alert, more alive.
It is interesting that when that switch to a raw diet is made, it also seems to throw a switch of awareness--awareness of how this form of eating impacts the world, and how so much more positive in so many ways it is. Even making small changes toward raw fooding have significant effects on the world. Deciding to grow a garden for some of your food, or deciding to replace that candy bar for raw almonds for a snack--these things make a difference, and if done on a consistent basis represent real change in the world.
My mantra this week has been "be the change you want to see," because it all comes from you. You are making your life, and demonstrating to yourself behaviors and actions that further that change, makes it happen all that faster!
Until next time...
In vibrant health,
