In 12 hours at 37 degrees C, it successfully delivered a feast of dried strawberries, blueberries,raspberries, mango, pears and [...]

Fruit and veg sales out the window in a crisis reveal statistics
Posted in Raw food news, tagged £1 burger, DEFRA, falling sales in fruit and veg, Macdonalds, Tescos fruit and vegetables, the grocer on January 30, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Newly released figures from DEFRA state that fruit and veg sales are in sharp decline in the UK. Depressing but not surprising. Fruit and veg are simply much more expensive than a £1 burger from Maccas. But is price alone the cause of such a drop in consumption? I don’t think so. Tescos (and the other [...]

I think a fat\health tax is great but sadly totally flawed. I’d call it a health tax, tax refined carbs and dramatically lighten up the costs of ‘healthier’ foods. My belief is that the masses, including both skinny and fat people, know that a KCF/Maccy D/Burger King/Taco Bell/Red Rooster/etc burger/fries is bad for them, but because [...]

This month in the UK we wait with bated breath to see the new healthier, more nutritionally transparent menu from KFC. I see it now. Raw cashew nut replacement chicken buckets, raw mock chicken fillet burgers….Oh what a raw dream. Perhaps my sarcasm is misplaced because already, earlier this year, KFC did the unthinkable and ditched [...]
How to go raw: my raw cupboard essentials
Posted in Raw food news, tagged raw cupboard, Raw essentials, raw food, starting raw on July 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
By some strange quirk in the universe lots of people have recently asked me what they need to buy to make ‘going raw’ as easy as possible. It is strangely harder than I thought to find a list online so here are some of the raw basics I have in my cupboard at all times. I should [...]
Raw Thai street food

It’s easy to be raw on the streets of Bangkok. Mashed against and tangled between walls and curbs of both the tiniest windiest alleyways and the most overwhelming motorways are its many raw street food vendors. If you can turn your head away from the deep frying chicken, tripe, insects and fish balls, amongst the [...]

The raw food hypocrite should be on top of the latest raw food foods and trends but I have to admit I only stumbled across Chia seeds (also known as Salvia hispanica) in an obscure health food shop in Melbourne. At first I had a tablespoon with my breakfast a few times a week, however [...]

Surely no-one missed the global groundbreaking news on Monday that US researchers declare raw walnuts to be the healthiest nut of them all and just seven of them a day will ward off heart disease, certain cancers and type-2 diabetes. According to this BBC article, Dr Joe Vinson, from the University of Scranton, analysed the antioxidant levels [...]

Not only have the clocks moved forward but today is the Spring Equinox and what a stunning day for a spring clean of the internal kind. My equinox began with a green breakfast smoothie, a handful of seeds followed by an all-day yoga detox workshop at Triyoga; a surprise gift from my lovely friend Kari. [...]
