Raw Food: Benefits of juice
Eating raw foods is a way to give your body some of the nutrition it
desperately needs. Many of us are at least slightly overweight, and
even the morbidly obese are starving for essential proteins and amino
acids. All the processed, cooked foods we eat give us only a small
percentage of what we need. Consequently, we eat and eat and yet we’re
still not nourished. Psychologists try to tell us we’re eating to make
up for an emptiness in our souls. Wrong! Our bodies our empty and
trying to tell us so.
Vegetarians: Weight Loss and Vegetarianism
Think about it, have you ever seen a fat vegetarian? Probably not. In fact, for most of us, vegetarian is almost synonymous with lean and healthy, isn’t it? And when you start any diet, what’s the first thing the experts tell you? Generally it’s to increase the amounts of vegetables you’re eating and to eat limited amounts of meat, especially high-fat red meat and pork.
And what happens when you resume your old eating habits? Generally the weight will come right back on. Even the greatest will-power can’t overcome the unhealthy effects of eating high-fat meat.

Introduction to Slow Food
By Aazdak Alisimo
It would seem self evident that slow food is the opposite of fast food. This is part of the truth. Slow food is actually a bit more than just an opposite though.
The word slow food is taken from the Slow Food Movement, which is an international organization that opposes fast food and advocates a return to more traditional foods and methods for feeding ourselves. The Slow Food Movement actually goes a bit deeper into the idea that the frenzied speed of modern living is totally destroying the quality of human life and may even be leading to worse consequences for our future. In many ways, a return to the slow food traditions of the past are but the cutting end of the Slow Food Movement’s attack on the pace of modern life.
