I have just come across rawmood.com while I was surfing on the net and I want to say that I find interesting the fact that people who had been photographed are podgy like me before starting on a raw food diet and after, when their bodies look nice and toned, they release the amazing secret of a raw food diet. I must admit I am entirely inspired by the argument that raw foods are better for you.

There are many times I have tried to go on the salad regime by going around the supermarket picking up all those healthy eating vegetables like raw carrots and cabbage. I would completely fail as my taste buds would screaming out „feed me with something substantial”.

I would be dreaming of sinning with that English breakfast, with hot buttered toast and a big mug of steaming tea, or fish and chips from the local English chip shop. Then you have that lovely warm smell of bread or pies being baked. The smell of them cooking tempts me with devilish temptation. Like most people, we have all tried raw food, but when it is cold weather, my body wants something warm to eat to comfort me from the biting cold wind.

All these raw food detox diets, yes, I admit, they make you go to the toilet more often, but my thoughts are nothing in this world will detox your whole body, after all, even the air that we breathe is toxic with all the pollution from cars and the bombs that go off as they go up in the air, they also drift and fall back down on the ground. So, if I die young eating hot tasty food, so be it, to live constantly looking over my shoulder wondering if I have overcooked the food is not my style. As long as I think it is hot enough and it is tasty, I am going to eat it and enjoy all the flavors that dance over my tongue before I feel the warmth from my stomach glow outward towards my body.

Even farm animals are being fed with grain from all over the world, so it is very hard to say whether that animal hasn’t got toxins that will be transferred to our stomachs, so to me if I cook most of them out of the food at least I do have a fighting chance of not becoming ill.

Could we be certain that food that Supermarkets or the suppliers are selling us truly are pure organic food? After all, the only thing we have to go off is a label.. If I do buy meat like Chicken, Lamb or Beef, I do try to check whether the animal has come from a caring farmer, but we cannot be certain how that animal lived and really if you are on a limited budget, you don’t have much choice of what you eat, you just eat what you can afford.

I am a meat eater, and I do like some vegetables as well, as well as the raw salads on a hot summer’s day. However, I must admit, I eat with my eyes, and I am very fussy of what I do eat, and to eat something like Steak Tatar, which is raw steak minced and a raw egg yolk on top, makes me feel very sick indeed.

Sushi looks okay, but again the thought of raw fish going down my throat, puts me off going near as I feel that the texture would be very slimy.

Some raw vegetables and salads are very refreshing together however, I feel myself, we need a balanced approach, and after all there are only so many nuts you can eat before you feel like a squirrel.

Yes, there are a lot of vegetarians and vegans and those brave soldiers who do go on a raw food diet, who are very much slim, which I do envy as they get into their nice sexy clothes, and they seem to somehow glow, but I certainly, don’t envy them when I am tucking into roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings for my Sunday lunch or that nice warm casserole of Jam Roly Poly and custard on a frosty cold winter’s day.
