12 Steps to Raw Foods: How to End Your Dependency on Cooked Food
Date undefinedI have become more and more interested in becoming a raw foodist. This book was helpful in describing the reasons their family became raw and some of the hurdles they had to go through. I have been making green smoothies every morning since I read the book and have even created my own.

Date undefinedGreatly expanded, this edition has so many new things, it should have had a different title from the first! It includes so much of Victoria's expanded knowledge and wisdom, such as the green smoothies, scientific studies showing the superiority of raw foods, and the power of gratitude. Victoria was even bold enough to include a chapter on eating insects! This may seem strange, but many humans around the world do eat them, and she wisely points out that if Americans weren't so concerned with this, we wouldn't have to use all those pesticides.
But this book also contains the old wisdom from the first edition: how cooked food is very addictive, and raw food simply doesn't have the mind-altering substances that make food become "comfort foods."
And of course there are some of the best raw food recipes ever. If you haven't tried Igor's crackers and the Live Garden Burgers, you simply haven't realized your full hedonistic potential, whether you are a raw or cooked fooder!

Date undefinedYou will be amazed at the knowledge this woman entered on the pages of this book. It is mot a recipie book although it does have a few in the back. It is just so full of Facts that I find myself quoteing it all the time! An absolute must read for the average diet american, or those who like to change the average americans diet. ;)
