Anthony Anderson, age 26, stumbled upon the living-foods lifestyle at the end of 2004 and has never been the same since. Being constantly focused on self-improvement in all areas, he discovered that a 100% living-food diet sped up his progress exponentially. He is currently residing in New York City while working as a full-time model. He has enjoyed a large amount of success and gives all of the credit to his healthy lifestyle and positive outlook on life.

Besides being involved with the Raw Food community, his interests include wild food foraging, gardening, learning Spanish, watching documentaries, traveling abroad, and exercise. He also writes, and is the creator of Raw Model. His blog is widely read and is a melting pot of diet and exercise advice, travel writings, personal evolution concepts, and ideas for living a more simple and sustainable life.

2008 is bringing more than ever to his life. Some highlights include an Eco-Home/Organic Garden Project taking place in Minnesota this summer, and much more writing and speaking of his experiences about raw and organic food, raw traveling, and overall green living and permaculture.

Shannon Marie, a.k.a. Rawdorable, is a 31-year-old wife and mom, who first discovered raw food in 2000 while watching a Juliano interview on the Style network. Impressed with his ability to reinvent SAD (Standard American Diet) foods out of fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains, she immediately ran out to purchase his book and start experimenting with these ingredients in her own kitchen. But without a real connection to the raw community, her journey was put on hold.

Fast forward to July 2006, she discovered We Like It Raw (the very same site you’re visiting right now), and was inspired to dust off that uncook book, dig out the old-school dehydrator and get back on the raw food track. Since then, she as formulated and/or ‘rawified’ many of her own recipes, which she happily shares with family, friends and visitors to her blog, Rawdorable, home of the raw gingerbread house and fruit-flavored play dough.

She encourages all her readers to ‘just rawify it,’ with her slogan, ‘if you can crave it, you can make it RAW!’
