"That Fresh Raw Vegan Diet is Crazy!"

What do you do when others start questing you fresh raw vegan diet?

Isn't it interesting how others tend to highly question the nutrient value of an unconventional fresh raw vegan diet?

What I noticed was how often many people will judgmentally question what a person enjoying fresh foods does and how they get their nutrients, yet may never question or even think about what nutrients they or others are getting when consuming a Standard American fast food diet several times a day.

Questions like

• "Where do you get your protein?"
• "What about b-12."
• "Isn't eating too much fruit bad for you?" as they wash down their double bacon cheese burger with a 32 oz soda.

Have we veered so far away from a fresh, whole raw vegan diet, Nature's Diet, that most people question everything and anything that is from nature and not from a processing food or animal factory?

After further observation and getting curious myself I realized:

• As people we will question what is unfamiliar or uncomfortable to us.

For the past 50 or more years the marketing industry has done a marvelous job on programing the masses to believe:

1. Meat and basically any animal product is a human source of protein rather than fresh leafy greens which a cow consumes to get their protein.
2. White processed food products (cereal, bread, sugar, potato, pasta) are sources of nutrients rather than the cheap barely worth the box, bag or carton they come it "food stuff".
3. The balanced diet theory of meat, dairy, grains and processed, boxed foods, fruits and vegetables are apart of a "balanced diet". Yet a raw vegan diet full of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables is more in alignment with health and supportive to strengthen a human body and mind.

Imagine Tom living on the land enjoying abundant fruits, green and vegetables galore with soil so rich minerals and vitamins the taste of the food is unbelievable. A paradise where mangoes grow right out your back door so fresh, ripe and the smell draws you to climb up and pick 10-20 just for breakfast.

The taste of these mangoes are so sweet and soft Tom smiles, laughs and shares with his tribe. As he takes a bite the sweet juice drips down his chin and he is too mesmerized by the flavor he hardly notice or care.

When full Tom are now covered in mango juice so he decides to go for a dip and jump into a cool refreshing clear blue pool of water as he enjoys a refreshing drink of water he leans back his head and the water falls on top of his face and head massaging him as it runs down the rest of his body.

Within a short time he is so energized and feels so strong he heads out for a run feeling free and fresh breezing through the lush green foliage for a few hours losing himself in the moment each time he flies through the air as each food barely touches the earth.

The next thing Tom knows he wakes up to the smell of cooking pig fat, scrambled fried unfertilized chicken eggs, toasted processed white flour and sugar filled bread with multi-processed oil or cow milk fat spread on top, served up with a glass of cows milk and concentrated orange drink while in-between cartoons he hears "part of a complete breakfast."

One afternoon he bumps into someone eating two bunches of bananas and they are even spotted, he thinks "they look rotten." This ignites something within him but he is not sure what….

He decides to ask this banana eating person why she is eating so many bananas. She tells he that she loves bananas, in fact she eats only eat fresh foods like bananas, mangoes, and other fresh fruits and vegetables only. As it turns out this woman is on some kind of raw vegan diet not eating any animals products or processed foods.

Inside his heart he feels the truth in what she says and then Tom starts to think. His thoughts override his heart and that starts to make him uncomfortable.

In his mind he starts to think "I have been taught that cows milk, chicken's eggs, pig fat, processed wheat and sugar products are part of a balanced diet full of vitamins, minerals and protein."

The feelings of possible truth within him of this fresh raw vegan diet tugs at him and yet the programing or belief system he unconsciously has adopted does not match his feelings. He says to himself, "That's crazy doesn't she know she can't survive on just fruits and vegetables? Thats not balanced!"

He may even walk away discussed and continually reasoning and finding other thoughts to support and override his mixed feelings. Tom works on his thoughts until his feelings about the knowing within his heart is stomped out and he is again free to feel good about eating his burgers, meat, potatoes, and large soda again.

The truth is we will all have the possibility to listen within our heart or to a belief system created by media during commercials, your unsuspecting parents, grandparents, friends and doctors since the time you were a child.

Fresh, whole, ripe, raw plant based foods (a raw vegan diet) are always the highest and best source of nutrients. The more people advertise for or lead by example with a FRESH approach to eating, the more people may listen with their hearts.

You and I have the opportunity to inspire others with fresh love, kindness and understanding for where is person is now. Be open to their questions and know this is only a reflection of them and has nothing to do with you.

Next time you are eating something fresh and somebody starts asking you questions in a judgmental manner send them love and light and without even words let them know you support them no matter what path they choose as you support yourself....
