We have just moved to Indonesia and I was wondering what other people's experiences outside the US have been. I can get more organic products than I thought I would be able to, so that's good. The array of produce is astounding.
I have not been here long enough to get reactions from many people about eating raw. How about for you? What do you hear?

Hi Marci,
I am from Germany but am living in China at the moment.
Last year saw an increase of organic vegetables, but most raw items I have to order from abroad.
Eating raw is here something like a "never heard of it" thing ;)
cheers,
melanieEvery day is a new day - embrace it!

Nova Scotia, Canada!
I live on Cape Breton Island. Produce prices tend not to be too bad, but fresh fruit is very expensive. I don't have access to any ready-made raw dishes and I don't order things online because the exchange rate is often pricey due to our crappy worthless money. Haha.
My raw food is all made at home and I'm usually heavy on the veggies because they are cheaper.
:) :) :)Those who walk in love and truth will grow in honour and strength.

I heard about that restaurant, eatyourbroc!
I lived in Guelph for almost 20 years - only an hour away from T.O. but I haven't made it there yet - is on the schedule though.
Thanks!

Denmark here.. Raw is very rare, no restaurants but a fair variety of organic fruit and veggies. Out of a population of 5 million I know of just about 10..

I'm from Australia, I just joined today and am starting the raw food diet tomorrow! I can't wait! I'm a vegetarian so hopefully that will work in my favour. I've never heard of the raw diet here in Melbourne.

No raw food resturants that I know of
There are a couple vegan resturants and a few vegetarian ones.
We have one totally organic grocery store (again, there may be more but thats the only one I know of)! I could spend hours looking at all the goodies there

I'm in the UK, and I've found that most restaurants are very accommodating if you ask nicely and will usually whip up a choice salad.
Where I live there are a lot of people who grow their own veg - its a great way to get to know your neighbours
