I never really know who it is I’m talking to on this blog. I realise of course I’m not really talking to anyone, I’m typing. You know what I mean though. I mean, I don’t always have an agenda or an audience in mind when I blog, I just type out whatever’s going through my mind. Sometimes it resonates with people who’ve been eating raw a very long time, sometimes people who don’t eat raw at all say “hey dude, I really liked that post you did”, which is swell! How good a word is swell? Apart from making you think of swollen ankles? Don’t have coffee and raw choc before you blog. It’s not conducive to a flowing blog. I better apologise up front if this blog goes off on crazy tangents…
Where was I? Yes! Today however is a different story. Today I know very well who I’m talking to. I’m talking to people who aren’t raw and don’t want to ‘be raw’. So everyone else, go away! Just kidding…come back!
It’s time to break through some mind-set shit. I’ve mentioned before about the negative connotations some people seem to have about healthy eating. God. It does sound terribly dull doesn’t it? Ugh, health-y-eating. Eating is good but add healthy in front and all of a sudden it’s just…UGH! Nobody wants to be healthy do they? I mean, they do but they wouldn’t admit to it. Cos it’s bizarrely too uncool. Rabbit food, hippy food, salad muncher…you get the idea!
I don’t know why this is. I don’t need to know. I don’t even want to know! Don’t. care.
Anyway so what has this to do with raw food? Well, unfortunatley raw food is very healthy only because we’re talking fruits and veggies in the extreme. Extreme veggies! Like extreme ironing but less fun… So why would anyone want to be raw? That’s like being the UBER HIPPY RABBIT SALAD MUNCHER! Soooo uncool.
The truth is, you don’t have to be a raw foodist to enjoy eating some raw food. Raw food will not make you uncool. Don’t even call it that. I think we need a new name. Sex food. YEAH! That might catch on? If you eat it you want sex AND you get it cos you smell and taste great and look awesome. Everyone wants sex right? Except nuns. Or maybe they do. Where AM I going with this?
The good news is eating raw food will NOT turn you in to a raw foodist. Because let’s face it, nobody wants to be one of those. Hell, even I don’t. Raw foodist. Ugh! I just like how I feel when I eat raw food. It might become addictive, you might feel SO GOOD once you start upping the raw that you want to eat more once you start (be careful) but still, you can hide your raw food eating from other people. Just strategically place some empty McDonalds wrappers in random places. They’ll still think you’re normal 🙂 Anyways, hippy crazy ways can be stifled as long as you eat some chips now and again. Chips are the antedote to turning in to a hippy salad munching mentalist. True.
We all know that raw food is more than just salad but I think it’s such an easy place to start. Nobody eats a salad and freaks out “Oh god, I’ve turned in to one of those raw foodists you hear about”!
Salads aren’t just for people on a diet. Take your dinner plate, put some salad on it then pretend that’s your plate. Add your dinner on top. Might not work for some things mind you… Hmm, mince and potatoes and salad, that’s quite a combo. But it does go with most things I find. It’s like black. YES! Salad is the new black, it goes with pretty much anything. Except mince and potatoes…
You know they even put mixed salad in a bag now. You just have to open it. How much easier do you need it to be? Don’t have it naked though, nothing worse than naked salad. A simple and subtle dressing will do the job.
Here’s my staple for the last week:
1 bag mixed salad, 1/2 cucumber chopped. 1/3 courgette chopped (you know I never measure these exactly right?), and alfalfa. Dress with some olive oil, vinegar (balsamic is amazing) and lime or lemon juice.
Too easy it almost hurts.
I don’t think you should be a raw foodist. I really don’t. Just be yourself and eat some salad. Simple. Or better yet, become a SEX FOODIST. Eat only foods that ooze sex appeal or a-peel 🙂

I’m so glad this turned out to be a positive raw food post, although I would have known that off the bat if this hadn’t been the first post I read. I won’t be duped again though, I know for sure you understand the truth of raw foodism!
The post is written in very a good manner and it entails many useful information for me. I am happy to find your distinguished way of writing the post.
