In the 50s most people in the western world ate cuisine of comfort food such as fried chicken, mashed potatoes and homemade cakes and pies. In the 60s, with the hippy revolution, the diets of Americans started looking towards nature’s basics. There were communes where people lived off of the land, growing their own food. We have become more and more diet conscious ever since then. One of the latest healthy living concepts involves a raw food diet. Science has proven that nutrients and enzymes are destroyed when food is cooked. The concept is that by cooking food, you actually turn it into a diet full of toxins and free radicals. They not only espouse that raw foods are more beneficial to your health, but that cooked foods actually do damage to the body. This movement has grown to the point that you can find, in any major city, raw food festivals, restaurants, consultants and even retreats.
