Quotes of Interest

From: Business owner lauds nutrients of raw food

"The problem with the American diet is that we're eating too much processed and refined food filled with chemicals. That's not the way our ancestors ate," said Hubbs, who is also owner of the catering service, Aiken's Finest Catered Affairs.


"What I'm finding is in America, we're dieting more, we're exercising more and taking more prescription drugs more than ever before," said Hubbs. "Yet we're overweight, our children are overweight, we're seeing medical doctors more often and developing more disease than ever."


"As long as you eat a balanced raw food diet, you are going to lose weight period,"
she said. "It's good because you don't have to count calories."

McCartney calls for meat-free day to cut CO2

(AFP) – 11/30/09

BRUSSELS — Paul McCartney is urging consumers to fight global warming by going vegetarian at least once a week, ahead of an address he will deliver on Thursday to the European Parliament.

"By making a simple change in the way you eat, you are taking part in a world changing campaign where what's good for you is also good for the planet," the former Beatle told the Parliament Magazine.


Cooking classes tout health benefits of a vegan diet

By Gwenn Friss
November 26, 2009

Thanksgiving dinner is over and you're feeling the drowsiness that follows a big turkey feast with all the fixings, followed by sweet desserts.

No other day of the year better illustrates that how you eat affects how you feel. And while it's important for everyone, eating well is critical for those fighting cancer, diabetes and other chronic medical conditions.

The Cancer Project began in 1991 as an affiliate of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Based in Washington, D.C., the nonprofit project promotes a plant-based diet based on research and taught by a network of trained cooking instructors such as Joanne Irwin of Dennis.

"It all started for me in 2006 when my doctor asked me if I'd be willing to give up animal products - beef, pork, lamb, poultry," says Irwin, who made the change and saw her LDL, or bad cholesterol, fall significantly.

Raw never tasted so good

By Michael Saripkin
November 05, 2009

DOWNTOWN — For weeks, prior to my trip to Santa Monica, I had been hearing about Planet Raw and how much everyone enjoys it. Well, having been raw for a while, I expected "just another raw restaurant." Therefore, I arrived prepared to order a nice salad, maybe a vegetable pâté, a possible smoothie on the side, and maybe even an appetizer or two.

Then came the surprise.

Upon entering Planet Raw, located on an innocuous corner of Sixth Street and Broadway, it looked like any other café. There were a couple of outside tables, a front counter for the hostess/cashier, a few scattered tables, a sit-down bar, and a few coolers and shelves with products, which the public may buy. That was where "any other café" and Planet Raw parted ways.


118 degrees of flavor
Winter Park vegan cafe turns up the heat

By Tina Russell
Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Hidden in a mass strip of buildings on Morse Boulevard that comprise downtown Winter Park lies Café 118°, an alternative to the saturated fat, overcooked foods we eat on an everyday basis. Café 118° serves up raw, organic food that is 100 percent free of animal by-products like milk and eggs.

The name of the cafe is quite literal. As it states in its paper menu, all of the food is prepared at temperatures of less than 118 degrees to preserve the enzymes, minerals and vitamins found in foods’ raw state.


The raw recruits

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Proponents of a diet of raw and uncooked plant-based foods say it can help the body heal itself of the most feared illnesses – including cancer, writes Clodagh Mulvey

WE HAVE BEEN bombarded for years by the marketing campaigns of the fad diet industry. Drink a slimming milkshake here and you’ll lose weight. Eat only protein there and you’ll lose weight. Eat pineapple morning, noon and night, and hey presto, you’ll lose weight.

Few, if any of these diets, have focused on the nutritional value of the food regime being employed by an army of people desperately trying to drop a few pounds before the summer bikini holiday or after the Christmas binge.

Even fewer have dared suggest that ill health and disease can be overcome by eating in a particular way. Yet this is precisely what Brian Clement, author of Living Foods for Optimal Health, is doing.


Raw Food, Fully Cooked Concepts

By Kimberly Bradley
October 26, 2009

BERLIN | Organic, local edibles that are not only vegan but … raw? In the land of the greasy currywurst? Aber ja — but of course! Since March, Boris Lauser has been quietly spreading the raw-food word, serving gourmet uncooked meals out of his own apartment in a glassy new building where Kreuzberg meets Mitte. He’s also been gathering a following of curious Berliners looking to taste something new.

“I loved having people over for dinner when I live in Italy, so when I came to Berlin, I decided to serve people at home,” said Mr. Lauser, who first became aware of the subtle tastes of really seasonal food during a stint working for the United Nations in Rome. He got his first training in raw-food preparation in Asia; then went on to learn the craft more formally at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona.

The Draw of Raw: Raw-foodists believe that diet works miracles; dietitian calls it deficient

By Michael Hastings, Journal Food Editor
October 21, 2009

Before fire, there was only raw food.

In recent years, a number of Americans have embraced this diet.

A diet of raw foods, sometimes called living foods, involves eating whole, unprocessed raw foods. Most raw foodists are vegans, but some may eat meat, fish or dairy products.

Some may even eat a little cooked food, but most strive to get three-quarters of their food raw.

The diet is environmentally friendly because the produce is typically organic. It's also energy efficient, because it doesn't require stoves or ovens. But the main benefits are health and well-being.


Eating Your Way to Better Health

By Erin J. Shea
10/20/2009

In March 2008, Beth Berry was very sick. Her body was wracked with pain so severe she spent most days in bed. She suffered from a herniated disc, but more troubling, Berry's doctor diagnosed her with fibromyalgia, an autoimmune disorder characterized by widespread joint and muscle pain.

"I was given a 90-count bottle of Vicodin," Berry says. "I got mad. I was pissed, and kept saying: 'That's it? Just take narcotics for the rest of my life? I'm only 38 years old!'"

Instead of filling the prescription, Berry pored over the latest research on the benefits of diet and nutrition on autoimmune disorders and learned about the successes people suffering from symptoms similar to hers were having with raw food diets. "That's when the real journey began," she says. "Within three days of being on raw food, almost all of my symptoms had gone away."


PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Tells SuperVegan Where to Find the Fountain of Youth

This woman is 70. Believe it.

Mimi Kirk is PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Woman Over 50 of 2009. She's been a vegetarian for the last 40 of her 70 years and a raw vegan for a year and a half. An active lady who travels often, most recently around the US, Mimi occasionally stops by her home in Ramona, Cali., to tend her luscious garden and answer e-mails from jaw-dropped bloggers like SuperVegan's. (Hey, higher powers, would ya let me look half this good at 70?)


It’s a raw, raw world

by Samantha Kramer
Oct 13, 2009

“We are ALL raw foodists,” said Ariane Glazer, a raw foodist for seven years and event organizer for the Chicago raw food community. “Who doesn’t pick up an apple or orange at some point?”

After all, thirty percent of Illinois residents consume fruits and vegetables three or four times a day according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Raw foodists come in various forms from raw meat eater to raw vegetarian. The purists do not eat animal products or byproducts and do no cook food. Raw foodists believe cooking above 115 degrees diminishes a food’s nutritional value.

Tim VanOrden, founder of the Running Raw Project, an experiment VanOrden began in 2005 to see if raw foodism would support a career as an athlete, perceives cooking as a damaging practice that destroys precious food enzymes.


The raw truth

By Ulrika G. Gerth
Mon Oct 12, 2009

Newburyport -

Have you had enough of creamy clam chowders, greasy omelets and deep-fried seafood?

Then there’s a new option downtown. Grezzo, which opened this month on State Street, delivers a menu that is light years from the traditional New England fare.

The upscale restaurant with its copper tables, exposed brick walls and oil paintings of various vegetables, specializes in organic, raw, vegan cuisine. Here, a spicy, marinated watermelon radish has taken the place of pepperoni; summer squash and zucchini noodles act like pasta; and nut balls in a nut cream sauce play the role of gnocchi carbonara.

The gas stove range, which saw plenty of action while Bottega Toscana occupied the space, is destined for a long vacation as the raw and living food diet means the food temperature is always kept below 112 degrees. Diners will instead find dishes based on uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains.


Hold the cooking
Local eateries cater to raw food diets

By Liz King and Katie Curley, Staff Writers
October 07, 2009

NEWBURYPORT — It is said that the trend of eating raw and living foods is as old as the human race, maybe older.

After all, before man invented fire, raw food was the only food. But the cavemen's nuts and berries didn't have quite the same gourmet flair you can find around Newburyport here in the 21st century.

When you think raw foods, don't think undercooked steak and sushi. Raw foods include any food that is unprocessed and kept under 112 degrees so enzymes and the food's makeup aren't compromised.

The theory is that changes made to food through cooking or processing create chemicals and impurities in the foods that harm our digestive systems and, subsequently, our health. The building blocks of raw food diets are ingredients like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.


Mraz sizes up

By Mark Daniell, Canoe.CA
Friday, October 2, 2009

Last month, Jason Mraz notched the longest run of any song in Billboard's Hot 100 history. But he maintains that his chart-topping wedding staple, I'm Yours, isn't necessarily a love song.

"I wrote it between me and the spiritual world that I know nothing about. That's who I wrote it for," he admitted in Toronto.

… And it's that sense of gratitude that threads its way through his live show, which is based on a San Francisco raw food restaurant that quite literally changed how Mraz interacts with the world.


Newton couple caters to the raw food crowd with Prana Cafe

By Christine Laubenstein/GateHouse News Service
Sep 21, 2009

NEWTON —  Chocolate pudding. Cinnamon mini-muffins. Cream of mushroom soup. Nachos.
All this tempting food is featured on the menu at the new Prana Cafe in Newton Corner. But there's a twist.

It's all raw.

A Newton husband and wife started a restaurant that serves raw, organic and vegan foods. It is several doors down from Prana Power Yoga, a yoga studio they have owned for the last seven years.

Taylor and Philippe Wells opened The Prana Cafe, at 292 Centre St., earlier this month. The restaurant includes a wide variety of foods, such as pizza with spicy cilantro pesto, nut cheese and marinated peppers; warm coconut and almond porridge; and chocolate cake with creme anglaise.

Business owner lauds nutrients of raw food

By April Bailey, Staff writer
9/5/2009

Preparing food using conventional cooking methods destroys more than 80 percent of that food's nutrition, said Sandra Hubbs.

A certified raw foods chef and teacher, Hubbs recently founded Eat Raw, Live Long, a new business that offers cooking classes for raw foods, a raw food chef certification course and raw food meal delivery and catering services.

"The problem with the American diet is that we're eating too much processed and refined food filled with chemicals. That's not the way our ancestors ate," said Hubbs, who is also owner of the catering service, Aiken's Finest Catered Affairs.


"What I'm finding is in America, we're dieting more, we're exercising more and taking more prescription drugs more than ever before," said Hubbs. "Yet we're overweight, our children are overweight, we're seeing medical doctors more often and developing more disease than ever."


"As long as you eat a balanced raw food diet, you are going to lose weight period," she said. "It's good because you don't have to count calories."


San Rafael man touts raw food in new documentary

Jim Welte
08/23/2009

As a college student studying nutrition in the late 1990s, Michael Bedar developed an interest in raw food and the importance of a healthy diet. But when he met Dr. Gabriel Cousens in 2003, that interest turned into an obsession, leading Bedar on a six-year journey that saw him move to southeastern Arizona, launch a company to tout the benefits of raw food and produce a film that highlights its positive impacts for diabetics.

"I was pretty impressed and ready to give it my all," said Bedar, 31, of San Rafael. "I took all the talent and practice I had in filmmaking and put it to work."

The result of Bedar's quest is "Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days," a documentary that takes the formula established by Morgan Spurlock's "Super Size Me" - in which he ate nothing but fast food for 30 days - and flips it on its head.

But at Rockin’ Raw, Luis Salgado has made it his goal to prove naysayers wrong by serving up a rich menu filled with Peruvian, New Orleanian and Creole-styled cuisine—all raw.
