I read a lot about raw food on the internet and tried it myself. I used to eat the SAD (Standard American Diet) even though I was born, grew up and still live in Israel.
4 years ago I switched to a vegan diet and a year and a half ago I started on a raw vegan diet.
The best diet for me personally is 811rv, this does not mean it is the right diet for everyone, but you should at least try it before dismissing it as rubbish. It is not a quick fix, it takes a lot of effort, mainly in the social pressure from close friends, family and the society in general. this idea is so alien that everyone will be against it. Think for yourself and research the subject. It can't hurt you to eat healthier, right?
An apple a day keeps the doctor away - its just not true! You need to make the apple the main course and eat many apples during the day.
