Eating your food raw is completely natural. Every animal that has existed consumes its food raw. Only man has deviated. Fresh fruit and vegetables provide essential nutrients that cannot be obtained from any other sources. The majority of these nutrients are degraded in some way when cooked.

A logical choice therefore is to eat more raw food, increasing our nutrient intake significantly, and so providing more and better quality fuel for our bodies. Part of our mission with this book is to show you that eating a high-raw diet is not secular, weird or radical. It is merely choosing not to use your stove right now. By making that choice, you keep your food (for which you have worked hard to put on the table) intact, so that it may deliver what it is supposed to; nutrients that provide energy, sustain and repair the body and allow it to operate optimally
