Raw Food Diet "...Photos of a svelte over 40 Demi Moore have generated a buzz around the country about a hot diet trend she adheres to – a raw food diet. Reportedly, Woody Harrelson, Sting, and Donna Karan are also devoted raw fans. · If you want to go raw, you’ll need to say goodbye to meat, dairy, baked goods, breads, and almost everything else in the grocery store. A raw food diet is a completely vegetarian diet, including no dairy, and no food is cooked above 118 degrees. Raw proponents believe that cooking food destroys its nutritional value and kills the enzymes that allow us to digest food. Raw promoters say the inability to digest cooked food leads to poor energy and weight gain. ..."

Creative Loafing, Charlotte NC Raw Deal: Innovative and healthy use of fresh, living foods "The Raw Food Diet, or Living Food Movement as it is sometimes known, has even been labeled a new trend by some food writers. But in an era where trends seem to come and go quickly, what is the difference between interest and trend? How long did the Pacific Rim trend last? A year or two? Or the Nuevo Latino trend? These both seem more like hiccups than trends.

"But when chef superstar Charlie Trotter writes a book about the Raw Food Diet with 200 recipes, you know this must be more than a hiccup.

Chicago Medical News: Raw Food Diet "... This all started out several years ago among vegetarians. But now a growing number of so-called mainstream American food lovers are trying it. It means cutting out meat, poultry, dairy, and most fish but enthusiasts say raw food is a virtual fountain of youth and health... "

The skinny on raw food guru Karyn Calabrese in New City Chicago "... It helps if you start with good bones. Karyn Calabrese is 52 and a grandmother, and she looks better than most 22-year-olds. A former model and actress, nature gave her a head start. But it's a nutrition and lifestyle philosophy that she's parlayed into a growing business that makes her a walking, talking, glowing advertisement for her personal mantra of living life raw. Based in a city that relishes its history as "hog butcher to the world," Calabrese is a proponent of a lifestyle that includes a diet limited to raw vegetables. Raw foodies believe that heat destroys the natural vitamins, minerals and, particularly, enzymes in food. They say enzymes are the essential active ingredients in your body that break down chemicals, digest food, and assemble amino acids. While the medical community has yet to endorse a raw food diet, rawists counter that man is the only animal that cooks food and maintain that we would be better off only eating food in its natural state.

Twenty years ago, pursuit of a healthier lifestyle took Karyn away from her former modeling and acting career. She notes, "I didn't start out in this business to make money -- in fact, I made ten times more money as a model and actress. But, as I was healing myself, things just evolved." Karyn's first health-oriented business venture was wheatgrass sprouts distribution, which she started from a greenhouse in Evanston and still maintains on the side. Soon she was supplying the turf trays that serve as the raw ingredients for wheatgrass shots all over the city. Eventually, she got into the restaurant business and opened Karyn's Fresh Corner -- The Garden Café in 1995. "The restaurant wasn't planned," she explains. "I had developed a nutrition counseling practice and had a client with multiple sclerosis and was making food for him, as well as others, at home. Soon I had six dehydrators in my house, and my husband said 'Enough.'" Click here for the rest of the story

USA Today: 04/25/2002 - Healthful, raw-food trend is picking up steam Before you get fired up about buying a fancy new stove for your kitchen, consider this growing cooking trend: uncooked foods.
