Ten things to Be Aware of in the Raw Food Arena
The following article was first sent out as a newsletter on April 15, 2003.
(It was subsequently published in Get Fresh! magazine in the UK.)
It is by far the most popular article that I have written, I rhave received much
positive feedback about it. It was also the most difficult article
I have ever written as it mentions things that are going on in "the raw
food world" that are critical of other people.
Because I mention some things that I find fault with absolutely in no way means that
I don't love and respect my peers: other authors, teachers and chefs that
are involved, as I am, in "the Raw Food movement". I very much love and respect
my raw food peers, it is possible to disagree with a person's theory while still
loving that person.
Below please read a brief comment I received the day the article was first sent out,
which makes such an important point:
Ms. Shannon
Thanks for your good article on 10 things....
I appreciate your positive attitude and stance regarding controversy and those
spreading it. There is so much good and true that so many people agree on that it
is quite sad that we can't be more united, rather than fighting amongst ourselves
about details.
Too much time is spent on the last 5% of the diet while the other 95% goes ignored,
and quite possibly, undone. Meanwhile people continue to get sick and die when they
don't need to. There is a much better way, and we would do well to stress what we know
does work, and help people now.
May God bless you,

Ten Things To Be Aware Of in the Raw Food Arena:
1. Be Aware of "three week wonders"
Definition of a three week wonder: someone who has taken a
three week class in raw food (or anything) and is now dispensing
information, classes, written a book etc based on those three
weeks.
So much misinformation is being passed around by these well
meaning but inexperienced people who pass themselves off as
experts with limited knowledge and little if any real life
experience.
For example, a few weeks ago I heard an explanation of why
we soak nuts and seeds. It seems according to this "teacher"
that the part you soak off is what keeps
