I'm feeling rough. I'm feeling raw. I'm in the prime of my life.
Profile Information
About Me:
I am a senior English major in Boston, and I guess I have a little American Transcendentalist spirit in me, because I've always felt there is an important connection between humanity and the natural world. So when I discovered the raw foods lifestyle, I knew inherently that it was the right path to follow.
I began my Raw Foods journey over a year ago. Through the help of books, web sites, blogs and just plain personal experience, I was able to begin the diet that changed my way of life completely. Now, I'm hoping to start connecting with other people who can appreciate the raw foods lifestyle as much as myself. Though I am not yet 100%, it is my primary goal. Raw food is the most basic source of energy the body can depend on in order to achieve true vitality. Through this way of eating and enjoying food, I physically see and feel the differences. I find myself more focused on my body's needs than alterate stressors in the environment around me.
