When you eat only raw food, where do you get your protein and calcium?
Don't you get tired of eating only salads?
Do you take any supplements?
What do you eat when you are traveling?
Why do you only eat raw food?
We eat only raw food because we want to get all the possible nutrition from the food.
When food is cooked or altered by processing, then it is no longer in its most nutritious state.
When you eat only raw food, where do you get your protein and calcium?
We get our protein and calcium from the same place the elephants, rhinoceros, giraffes,
horses, and cows get their protein. No one seems to wonder where the animals get
their protein and calcium. If we eat a well balanced vegetarian diet consisting of a large
variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains, then we feel that we are getting what
we need. You can check www.hacres.com for more information on this subject
Don't you get tired of eating only salads?
Yes! That is why we developed our own recipes. Our family and friends liked our recipes and encouraged us to write a book. And now, the world has another recipe book, How We All Went Raw. We like the food and the book, you will too.
Do you take any supplements?
Some people whether vegetarian or meat eaters may have a shortage of the B-12 vitamin. So we take a good quality sublingual B-12 supplement. The essential oils are very important to our body too. We use UDO'S CHOICE® oil. It is a blend of flax and other nutritionally superior oils. We also take a high quality green powder. There are several that we recommend, Barley Life®, Barley Green®, and Barley Max®. Call us at 888-661-7401 to order. That's about it for supplements.
What do you eat when you are traveling?
We do not go to the fast food restaurants. Instead, we go to the grocery store's fresh food department. What an enormous selection of great food. When we go to a restaurant, we like to order a salad. In our recipe book, How We All Went Raw, we have a "Letter to the Chef" giving him guidance on preparing a great salad. Charles' mother uses this letter all the time. At one particular restaurant, the chef prepared for her a great salad topped with edible flowers! A chef has never refused our request. I think chefs like to use their creativeness in making us a salad, instead of just making the same ole menu all the time.
