Why do You Eat Raw?

One of my participants stayed after class today and talked about why her and her husband are incorporating more raw food in their diet. They want to have a baby.

They are intentional.

It got me thinking of all the babies in the world created in the back seat of a car or in a less than intentional way. Have you ever wondered why so many people in the world are asking themselves, “Why am I here?” Did their parents know why they were bringing new life into the world? And does this lack of intention go into the subconsciousness of their baby?

Who knows…

What I know for sure is that it’s fun to hang out with proactive people. People who know what they want and go for it. Reactive people are the ones who go to the nearest supermarket and buy whatever’s on the shelf. Proactive people are the ones who go the extra distant for fresh, organic, local produce. They take the time to research where their food comes from and to learn the nutritional content. They pay extra for organic because they want to live in a cleaner world.

People who eat more raw foods care about their health, the environment and other sentient  beings. When I went to culinary school, I wanted to learn how to make tasty, vegan food so people wouldn’t have to kill animals. There have been many times that I’ve been reactive in my life. It’s more fun to be intentional, know what you want and go about creating it. Everybody wins.
