About Me:

Well, I'm not really sure what I should say here so I guess I'll just talk about my experience with raw food. I've been vegetarian since I was about twelve, and vegan for over a year (probably would have started earlier but for circumstances beyond my control). During this time, I've alternated between conventional veganism and "raw foodism", depending on my circumstances. Now that I have the resources to go 100% raw, I intend to be more adventurous. I have chosen this lifestyle because I believe that anything you put into your body greatly affects the way you think and feel. I take a great interest in improving my general sense of happiness and wellbeing, and believe that this is best achieved by natural means. I have battled anorexia in the past and I admit that my demons have by no means disappeared. However, I have taken inspiration from people who have succeeded in overcoming their emotional instabilities with the help of raw food, and hope to eventually migrate to my own state of inner peace :)
