RAW FOOD IS NOT JUST RAW SEAFOOD UNLESS YOU LIKE SUSHI


When I mention the Raw Food Diet, the first response is not a good one. People think you are going to the local fish market and chow down on the displays of various fish products, shellfish, and sea urchins. This is not the case. Many raw foodists state that anything that does not reach a maximum temperature of 118 degrees is considered legal on the raw food diet. Many of them use a dehydrator to make their snacks. The dehydrator does not go above 118 degrees so this is a completely appropriate way to get healthy snack.

I happen to like sushi but only certain types. I am not going to come right out and eat a piece of tuna or salmon that has not been cooked which is considered to be sashimi so I tend to settle for the rice and seaweed-wrapped veggie type of sushi.
