Raw Potluck on Saturday, June 11th @ 6pm   Message List

Re: [rawfoodsnaturalhygiene] Raw Potluck on Saturday, June 11th @ 6pm

Hi Folks,
 
Just to let you know, not all dishes are 'prepared'. There are folks that will bring fresh fruit and vegetable that can be consumed.
 
Dale, aka the 'apple guy' who works with Plan B Organics usually comes and he brings freshly picked apples and apple cider as well as wild vegetable that are not prepared/processed in any way.Sometimes, the produce that he brings is picked the same day or the day before!
 
If a dish is prepared, all of the ingredients are listed for everyone's information. The raw foodist that attend normally prepare the dish immediately before they arrive or even prepare it after they have arrived.
 
Many people are not raw foodist and are interested in what forms of raw foodism is out there. We have an information table to provide education and other information. This would be a good opportunity for the Natural Hygene group to let everyone know what, 'natural hygene' is all about!
 
Plus it is a good social opportunity to mix with other raw foodists and lots of fun generally! Hope you can make it!

Hi Everyone,
 
Thank you for the invitation Garry.
 
Just to fully inform people, here are as few guidelines.
 
As Natural Hygienists, we regard these generally accepted raw potlucks as "transitional" to our health-building ways. They are great for socializing with similar-minded people (organic raw vegans).
 
However, many of us cannot tolerate salt, sea salt, spices and other condiments, which are irritants and destroy the natural flavours of everything they touch, and as hygienists, we refrain from poor food combinations and have no more than four foods at a meal for our best health through maximum digestibility.
 
And another critical point that we observe is oxidation. Dr. Herbert M. Shelton writes in Superior Nutrition, p.78,
Fruits and vegetables are surrounded with a tough outer capsule or skin that is designed as an effective barrier against oxidation. But when this is broken, or the fruits and vegetables are cut or peeled, this permits oxygen to reach their inner and now unprotected structures, so that, they begin immediately to oxidize, consequently to lose food value.
So if foods are "prepared" for these "tasty" meals, how much have we really lost in their quality before they are even served?
 
And how well can we build and repair our own bodies' healthy cells the very best with oxidized foods? 
 
All the best,
 
Dianne
