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! ;)

I've been thinkin about it for awhile now! Just sounds expensive. How much food do you go through in a day of juicing?

SCREW low sex drive AND the pill!!!! I know exactly what you're talking about!

I'm serious, just go to the grocery store, buy all kinds of celery, kale, cucumbers, carrots, and whatever else you want, and juice is all and only drink juices for as long as you can!
It feels so good, I can't even describe how amazing I feel ri...
awesome, I want to do teacher training one day
my magic bullet burnt out, it was good for travelling while I had it though. Can you get a second hand blender? The cheaper ones I have used don't chop up the greens as well. Try to get something with a higher wattage, like 1000watt.
