I hear ya… I think eating raw fruit and veggies are important and I’ve gained a lot from learning about the raw food diet but… a big but….I don’t subscribe to many of the “tenets”, eg 80/10/10 or raw spirituality. I especially do not buy the whole we should eat like when we were in the Garden of Eden etc. On the contrary, I think as humans we are evolving as a species so turning to raw, whole foods is actually waking up from all the factory farmed meat and processed faux food on supermarket shelves.

I have to say I agree with you on a lot of the above .
I have always been veggie and always ate most of my fruit and veg raw anyway but have been doing the “raw” thing for a couple of years now and like you, to be honest I havent noticed huge changes in my health, weight or mental states despite buying powders, raw nuts etc . Now I am raw for breakfast and lunch and some of dinner but if I feel I need a cooked veggie meal I go for it !
By the way – I am in Tokyo too – so of course our options are limited so that makes things a little harder but hurray its persimon season – Yum!

Hey Leslie, thanks for stopping by. It took me a while to make these realizations but I felt good articulating it out loud.

Thank you so much for this post!! I’m pretty new in my high raw food journey,and just found your blog earlier today. I have to say I agree with much of what you’ve said. I see the value in eating high raw, but I’m not sure that I agree that eating 100% raw is the best and only way to go. I’m trying to find my balance right now, and I’m sure I’ll get there soon, but for now I’m just doing the best I can.
