They did a cover story on raw foods! :eek:

Now, it's not in line with Alissa's teachings (the person says raw during the day, cooked at night if you want--and I don't even know if she's all raw anymore) but the point is this is a major decor magazine. Decor! This article wasn't in Mothering, or Body + Soul, or Yoga, or Vegetarian Times etc. etc. This is a glossy, pretty magazine targeting anyone but your average raw foodist.

This is all so exciting to me! The more mainstream Raw Foods gets and the further away its removed from the crunchy-granola hippie stereotype the more resources and restaurants we will have--and the price of certain items might actually go down a bit. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being crunchy-granola, but stereotypes can hinder. Of course, there are problems with becoming mainstream, but for the most part I think this article was a really god thing! :)

I read the article. I could not believe it. It made me so happy to see two things I enjoy that are not related together.

Me, too! Now, granted, this is their "green" issue and the article was maybe two paragraphs...but still!

Very cool! I was watching Oprah yesterday and Dr. Oz mentioned the study in Britain where 9 or ten people camped out in a zoo and were fed the same foods as the apes. RAW fruits and vegies and maybe nuts! They talked about how they all lowered their cholesterol and blood pressure in only 10 days. On national TV. The word is getting out!!!!:D

i saw that article and i thought it was so cool to have raw food recipes and an article in a mainstream magazine, not even a culinary mag. i also saw the segment on oprah, it was intresting but they kept saying you had to eat 11lbs of fruit/vegs to get the right amount of calories a day. i dont agree with that, and i'm sure a lot of you dont either, but raw foods showing up on oprah is great!

Well, I don't know...think about 11lbs. That's not really that much! :)
