Raw Food Diet

The Raw Food Diet is coming back in mainly because of health concerns....The only problem I find is that there a lot of prep work involved AND some of these prepared foods (see below) seem very unappetizing.
Look at the description of each.



All of these pictures are from Alissa Cohen's book Living on Live Food
