As for a raw community it's good to see that there are quite a few Londoners on this board, and hopefully friendships made on here will turn into 'real-life' friendships in due course. There are a few places in London where you can eat raw too, so there's obviously a growing demand there.
I've been experimenting with raw for about a year now. 100% is not for me however - I lost too much weight and had a couple of bad episodes of fainting. So forgive me for eating 'dead food' occasionally - it's just that I need to listen to what my body is telling me.
I'd call myself non-vegan hi-raw. I do feel so much healthier than before though. I used to eat nasty stuff like Greggs (aaaahhhhh!) and wonder why I felt depressed afterwards. Diet and mental/ emotional well being are so interlinked for me and discovering raw has spurred me on to become fitter, healthier, more positive and generally more alive!
I think I have been here for a month or so. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here!
Yep, I certainly do recommend it :)
Let me know if you have any questions.
High Fives,
Robby
Where to start! What kind of tips are you after? I find buying food in London particularly easy, lots of cheap markets and quite a few organic shops, my favourite is Earth in Kentish Town, they have the best selection of organic fruit and veg, it's just a few minutes walk down the hill from Kentish Town tube/station. Website here, but not working right now: http://www.earthnaturalfoods.com/
Find your local farmers market here: http://www.lfm.org.uk/
I've just done a round up of places to eat raw in London here http://www.rawrob.com/2008/05/16/eating-out-raw-in-london/
And if you want to learn about wild food, I'm doing a wild food walk on Saturday: http://www.funkyraw.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=242
If you have any specific questions, let me know... Rob
