1. You wont contribute to the torture and slaughter of animals

2. You won't be burdened with karmic debts from hurting animals

3. You'll communicate more powerfully with the animal realm,
and receive animal wisdom more easily, now that you no longer
encourage karmic divisions between yourself and animals

4. You'll become healthier (in mind, body, and soul)
than you ever aspired to be, and live longer than you ever expected to live

5. Since fruits and vegetables in their pristine state come w/o packaging,
you'll find that you use less resources and produce very little trash on this diet

6. You won't waste gas or electricity in cooking

7. 90% of the world cooks with wood, decimating the rainforests --
if you are among this 90%, you won't be contributing to deforestation,
and if you are among the 10% you'll be discouraging the other 90%

8. Since 85% of all nutrients are destroyed by cooking, that means
85% of the labor expended on producing the food is also wasted;
you won't be contributing to this incredible waste

9. You will use very little water cleaning up

10. You'll save time (not cooking, and requiring less sleep)

11. You won't get Cancer

12. You'll have the energy to pursue a high destiny

13. You'll feel more intuitive and aligned with synchronicity

I know so many could argue with this and say "this or that" to suit their own bias ~ but I must say "THANKYOU" for pushing your personal agenda to promote raw veganism.
It is SO important.

Raw raises consciousness, it takes us away from the past and allows us to be fully in the present. Food that is ALIVE NOW- brings you to the present moment. Natural raw food literally teaches your body how to be healthy, be resistant to disease, tiredness, laziness, depression ect...

Thanks, SunChild.

Most of that information
is from David Wolfe's book,
"The Sunfood Diet Success System"

I bought a used copy
that's as good as new,
and when I got it home,
I saw that its been signed.

quote:

Food that is ALIVE NOW-
brings you to the present moment.

Never thought of it that way.

I hope that's true,
cause it sounds so cool.

God Bless

"You won't be burdened with karmic debts from hurting animals"

I dont mean to put you on the defense Valus. But I dont get the "Karmic Debt" thing.
What happens when a lion kills a zebra does he have a Karmic debt then?
