If you're like us, when you think of raw you think of blagh. The raw lifestyle seems so rigid and unattainable. How do you go out to eat with friends or? How do you attend work functions? How do you enjoy basketball games, concerts etc.? The raw diet is just something we cannot comprehend. Okay, enough bashing... now it's time for a little praise.
