Recently I spent 30 minutes on the phone talking to a friend of mine who was interested in the raw food diet and something magical happened. I hadn’t spoken to him in quite some time, and while my health was getting better, his health was deteriorating. So after giving him the inside scoop of the diet, he came back at me with a series of concerns…
- How do I get protein in my diet?
- It’s too expensive!
- I can’t cook my food?
- I can only eat raw foods?
Everything that he heard and that most likely you have heard IS ALL WRONG! These could not be farther from the truth, so I decided to make a quick video for you “dispelling” the raw food myths. Take a look at this video and let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your feedback.

Raw food is very inexpensive as compared to paying for the packaging, artwork, processing etc. of processed, pre-packaged food of the standard American diet! If you stop and look around at the packaging, there is only a very small amount of nutrients or dead food in a box! Do we really want to eat cooked, dead, shriveled-up food from a box or can?
When you eat Raw, you pay for food and nothing else!
I myself, do not want to pay for their pretty colored boxes and toxic plastic!!
Fresh food feeds & protects our cells!

Hi Jim,
Thank you again and again for all your inspiration and wonderful information. It seems I always hear just what I need from you to keep me going. You are sooooooooo much better that all the bad news on TV and those programs that are filled with nonsense. I can turn you on and just listen and I’m ready for another day.
