Raw Vegan Food
There are no more than 300 people in Ireland with the diet as healthy as mine! I am raw vegan. What is vegan, what is raw? Vegan is a person who eats exclusively plant food and doesn’t use anything that comes from animals. That means no meat, no dairy, no eggs, no fur or leather. A raw vegan diet additionally excludes everything what is cooked or processed with heat. At least 80% of raw food intake qualifies to be called raw. Currently I eat 95% raw and had several 100% raw days, that means that I am probably in the top 100 of the healthiest people in Ireland, well at least healthiest physically, I don’t know if mentally 
I will show you what I eat on an average day. Then I will provide some statistics. At the end I will list advantages and disadvantages of being raw vegan.
This is what I eat daily:
occasionally:
and whatever is available in the store. I also take vitamin B12 as every vegan should.
I always keep a stack of fruits in my room and another stack in my office, that is very handy for snacking throughout the day. There is a saying “An apple a day and doctor goes away.” It seems that I am sending a whole department of doctors away Perhaps they can find a job in agriculture. For lunch and dinner I eat vegetables. I have a shredder and I prepare a gigantic salad for few days, once I’ve made a 10kg (20 lb) of salad and I ate it in a week. I like to wear vegan T-shirts. You can see them in the photo gallery. I thought it would be offensive to people, but unfortunately people like it
How many raw vegans are there? Those are just approximate proportions:
4% of the total population are vegetarians
4% of vegetarians are vegans
4% of vegans are raw vegans
4% of raw vegans are exclusively raw vegans
I’ve never been vegetarian. I became vegan overnight but it took me several months to adapt to the raw food. Currently I am between raw and 100% raw, and who knows one day I will live purely on the light from cosmos
What’s good about being raw vegan?
What’s bad about being raw vegan?
Was it hard to become a raw vegan? No, not for me, it is like climbing the mountain, it was curiosity and satisfaction. Once you are raw the perception changes and then raw food has more flavor than cooked food, it is because taste buds adjust to the eaten food. That means that raw food tastes better to raw than to normal people. This is the key to understand that in fact it is easier to be raw. This is a shock for the society but humans are the only species to eat cooked food. The food you eat does not just pass thru you, it builds you up. You are build from what you eat. That what I eat now tastes better than any other food before. It is easier, more efficient, money saving, great relief for the environment. Raw vegan diet is unique, you just had the opportunity to read about it from one of the healthiest people in Ireland.

Have a look, it has interesting title and great posts:
Way Beyond Green – going beyond the conventional into deep sustainability.
That sounds oh, so good. I love vegies and fruit. However, I’m on a strict carb count diet for diabetes and only allowed X amount a meal and snack. One banana is 3 carb points all I can have in a meal.
But it does sound good.
Interesting post. I’ve been very interedted in health food for about a year now. I see raw vegan as the holy grail of healthy eating but still have my doubts about some things.
Also, 10 bananas in one day sounds excessive. Most of what I read suggests 1 banana every other day. I thing this is to do with keeping a healthy potassium / magnesium balance.
Also, Spirulina is thought to be a source of B12 for vegans.
Just wanted to let you know that I’m a dog and I eat cooked food so I guess that humans aren’t the only species to eat cooked food.
Scuffy, thanks for a funny comment. Yes many domesticated animals like pets, zoo and farm animals are fed with processed food. They don’t do it in the wild . Some people also say that evolution of a man gave us privilege to eat what we eat now, but it’s hard to imagine that people thousand years from now would eat like this. Clean plant food fits better in the future of highly evolved intelligent species.
I wrote this post a year ago and currently my diet is slightly optimized: only a few bananas per week, more green juices and from time to time some cooked food – yep like a dog.
