People who follow a raw food diet are generally interested in improving their health and vitality by consuming the bulk of their nourishment in the form of unprocessed and uncooked foods. Raw food that is grown organically is also very important to this way of eating. For many, this is considered a lifestyle choice that is known as living raw or raw foodism.
There are some variations that people decide to follow with a “go raw” diet, depending on their lifestyle choices and the overall results they are attempting to achieve. The living raw food diets include a wide variety of different raw edibles including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, sprouts from seeds and from whole grain berries.

While many people have heard the term “vegetarian” for years, and most are familiar with “vegan” lifestyles, there are many who had never heard about the “fruitarian” lifestyle, until they heard a reference to it in “Notting Hill,” a romantic comedy movie. While not well known, and even made slight fun of in the movie, there actually is a group of people who are adherents to the fruitarian diet.

This post centers around the many small things in my daily life that make me happy.
Watching Pablo watch the pigeons, who coo and taunt him from their perch across the street…
Bossa Nova’s innate ability to consistentally center herself smack dab in the middle of the rug…
Omniman’s mesmerizing new paintings….
Fruit trees blooming in the city…
Portabello burgers topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and a

Sometimes I forget that our little family is not normal. I forget that our life is a little on the “alternative” side…because it’s just us. It’s just life. But the more people I meet on the road…the more I realize just how different we are than the typical American family.
And yet, we are all so similar. Everyone longs to be free. Free from the burden of a mortgage. Free from the constraints of a nine to five job. Free from the pressure to conform. I see that longing in people’s eyes and hear it in their words over and over again…and yet, comfort usually wins out. It’s comfortable to be like everyone else. It’s easier to give in to the pressure to live the “American Dream” because everyone else is doing it too. Everyone else is at the mall. Everyone else is buying a house and cars they can’t afford. Everyone is charging it on their most recent 0% interest rate credit card. But I don’t want to be like everyone else. I want to live in my own little alternative dream world.

I rarely shopped at Wild Oats, but after Whole Foods bought the chain out, I’ve been finding new reasons to fall in love with the new store with each and every shopping trip. Lower prices tops the list, but it’s their hot and cold bars that make me swoon. My husband and I are vegetarian, but we’re

vegetarians. I am not down with tofu; I am not seitan savvy; I cannot make brilliant bulgar-based meals; I do not even know how to pronounce quinoa. And my inability to follow even the most simplest of directions precludes any possibility of following recipes for such fabulous meals. I also do not keep track if I am getting enough protein or calcium or any of those other nutrients my mother still anxiously asks when I politely decline her breakfast casserole surprise.

Crudessence is Montreal’s newest Vegan and Raw foodist’s dream come true. The food service company is well known as a caterer par excellence and they have just opened a cafe located within a close proximity to the Sunday Tam Tam’s, just off Parc Jean Mance, at Esplanade and Rachel.
Lisa Shalom, a friendly staffer, was nice enough to tell me about what goes on at Crudessence, she explained that the theory behind the establishment is to promote healthy lifestyles while proving that eating fast does not have to mean eating badly. The snacks and drinks served at Crudessence look and taste hearty and healthy. Here’s to feeling good. Cheers.

Advocates of raw foods diets, a nutritional regime that utilizes mainly living, plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables and nuts (in some instances raw meat and seafood too) claim it fosters safe and natural weight loss, boundless energy, glowing skin, a positive attitude and increased mental clarity.
Best of all, proponents maintain it’s a simple lifestyle to adopt. To prove these and other benefits of a raw diet, certified raw food chef and instructor Michelle Pierson will conduct her popular Raw Foods 101 class at area Whole Foods locations in coming weeks.
