I'm reintroducing myself. Been gone for a long time.
My husband & I were a raw foodist for a couple years happy in the 80's.
Though my husband and I did well on raw foods our children weren't thriving. Back then there weren't many people who had experience with raising children raw.
So on advice from our doctor we added a few cooked foods and slipped further away from raw each year until we became a vegans with bad habits. I have to admit that this past year I have started allowing dairy to creep back into our lives. This frightens me.
My health is getting worse each year that passes. Getting old sucks. I would be acting against my best interests if I don't make changes now in my late 40's, before I get older and have more health problems.
I have just recovered from a month of bronchitis and realized that I need to do something smart about my health for a change. I am overweight, ache all over, have allergies and depression.
I am in transition right now and plan on switching to %100 when my new food processor arrives. (hopefully soon) I am trying to take it easy so I don't go through a huge cleanse, as I can't afford to miss any more work.
My husband is also going raw. He has health issues and is on three different medications. He wants to get off of all of them.
We both want a healthier more simple life. We are putting in a garden and walk to do our shopping.
There is a small and inactive group of people here in Utah who are experimenting with raw foods but no real community. I am glad there are places like this were people can find support!
