There are more nutrients, so yes. I'm attempting to be predominately raw, so organic fruits and vegetables are a must if I want to avoid deficiencies.
For those who do, can I ask a supplementary question. Why?
When's the last time you ate a block of calcium?
I'd be a hypocrit if said I actually worry about my health, because I don't.
I'm with Cze Cze on the aspects of a rigid lifestyle. It causes disruption in any number of ways. I try to eat homegrown fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Buy locally. Try to avoid items which have preservatives or other chemicals in them. (Most household tasks can be accomplished with vinegar, bleach, other common substances.)
But I'm not a slave to the habit. It cracks me up when I see people in the supermarkets turning a quick job into an afternoon's work fussing over ingredients and process. As mentoned, it's nearly unavoidable to come into contact with any number of unhealthy things.
And, as a hostess, I find it aggravating to host a number of people who have to make a big deal out of what they will and won't eat. This number is on the rise and they can be pretty militant about it. Puhleeze. When I'm invited somewhere I eat what looks most healthy to me and sometimes I splurge and eat something which isn't. But I find it uneccessary to go into a dissertation about my special needs. Or to put my hostess through the third degree about her cooking ingredients or methods.
When I host I try to provide a large variety of sugar-free items and other healthy foods mixed in with the all-kindsa-stuff-that's-not-good-for-you-but-great-to-eat stuff.
what life?! is a social occasion. I'm sorry but it is, for the most part yes it is, if it wasn't then death wouldn't be a big deal. but at the same time, i can see where you're coming from don't do something because everyone else is. I mean I don't know, but it is a social occasion, and that doesn't mean you can't live life as you choose. I can't explain why it is, it just is.
Are inorganic substances even edible? I haven't tried to eat any rocks lately.
who said i wanted to socializes with the richest and strongest and most popular? it is a social occasion, to me meaning of life is what someone came up with to not off themselves when life gets tough. WHy not think about the people you care about and think about how killing yourself would affect them? I mean I guess you can make your life have meaning but their is no universal meaning to life. except be born and die and that's not even meaning that just is.
