TV Programme
Hi guys, just incase anyone is interested thought I'd post this. Someone posted about this tv show on the raw uk yahoo group.

As follows...
Get ready to be mocked guys and gals - Channel 4 are putting out a programme at 7.30pm on Friday called Health Food Junkies.
In The Daily Mail's Weekend TV guide it is written: "For increasing numbers of people, food is ceasing to be something you eat and becoming, rather an obsession, even a substitute religion. This film introduces us to some of the most extreme food puritans - the 'raw foodists' who regard their narrowly restricted diet of raw foods as the healthiest on the planet. It is certainly one of the least appetising - and some of the 'raw foodists' also follow a regime you don't really want to see on TV...."
Well there you have people - get ready for some tut tutting from your granny and the folk at work on Monday morning!

Is this a repeat then? I've seen that programme - we come across as a bit mental as it's been edited really badly :)
Unless they're making another one?

Oh I dunno? Maybe it has aired before? I haven't seen it..maybe I shouldn't watch it!

you could watch it for the entertainment value? kate magic comes across the best i think but the journalist woman/voice over person is really condescending and biased I thought :)

Yes, it looks like it's the repeat. That silly music didn't help either.

I think it's fun to watch if you're raw Gail, it's quite unusual to see something of this nature on the TV. It's nice to see Kate and Suki.

I would watch it again too - I've seen it a couple of times cos it's on youtube too.
I recommended all my friends and family watched it before I knew what it was going to be about - oh that was a fun few days after :)

Aw crap, that's not what we need. But forewarned is forearmed so I'll watch it so I can understand what they're saying in case anyone mentions it to me. It's just really unfortunate I'm not exactly a shining beacon of raw health at the moment - I want to be able to prove the benefits by example. Thanks for the heads up!

Lol..I know what you mean to some extent. With losing weight (although I had lost it all since cutting wheat & dairy out anyhow on a cooked diet) and with my eczema flaring up...even though I look, in my opinion, healthier and feel tons healthier!!! I still get negativity from family who are closed minded. Anyhooo, I think for someone who has the health probs that you do, you look b'*ody amazing! ;)

since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps.

I write poems (mostly in Seussian rhyme), articles on health, and am working on a couple of books on health...
Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno
Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)
I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.
I'm assuming "fasting properly" means RESTING while fasting?
Come on woman! No time like the present! We may now have one more spot for our March 20 to May 22 internship session; this is truly a life-changing program and an amazing bargain...
Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided.
Though someone once su...
GASP! I would never accuse you of such. Take that back right now.
Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...

I think I am addicted to this board. I stopped making sense, ALL I know is I have to post
We dont want organic pasteurized, that is the same as conventional to us. Its been treated with something to kill it because that it what people do kill beautiful things it seems. Dead people.
