Labels, labels, if you must put a label and define it with a number then why not 1%. It is said that the longest journey begins with the first step. Does not a Buddhist or Christian claim the association and name with the initial belief, not waiting for enlightenment. Thought preceeds belief, belief preceeds action. Thanks for what you do, I plan to share it with others... Sat Nam

I think 100% is raw, but people don't necessarily have to be 100%. They should just include more raw foods

I went 100% raw in 1999 and vegan in 1990 because of my severe multiple food allergies and other health challenges. Most of my friends and loved ones are not raw or vegan, but I still love them! lol! I would love for them to enjoy the health benefits, but that's up to them. The only thing is that I doubt I could be in an intimate "live-in" relationship with a non-raw vegan; but that is my choice. blah, blah, blah. Did I put yall to sleep yet? lol

I know plenty of Eskimos ,their ancestral dietary habits may prove the body evolves to whats available . Ancestral diet is important too in finding whats 'healthy' for an individual .Soy,corn,high meat,potatoes....whatever , may not be what your particular body is currently designed to work with in large amounts . We are not all created the same, likely never due to geological influence. A few 1000 years of flames withstanding in many cases . gotta evolve back to Raw , slowly but surely .

I agree that labeling for the sake of labels is useless.  But I also agree with "Vegan with a Vengeance" authors in that a label can also be your way of standing up for your philosophy. Calling yourself a vegan and showing people you can be strong, healthy, and successful is a way of chipping away at the established misconceptions of our red meat and potatoes culture.

But I do agree with you on this point: everyone who incorporates raw into their lives is a winner. For sure!

Good video. I think it's like the term "vegan." Do you think you should be called vegan if you eat no animal products during the week but have hamburgers and steak on the weekend? In my opinion, no. Just as vegan stands for something, raw stands for something. People can do whatever they want, but I am not comfortable calling myself raw at 75%. At around 90%, I call myself a raw foodist that cheats every now and then. At 100%, I use the term comfortably.

thanks for the great video. I got the link to this video from Tanisha Marshall's raw food blog.

I'm new to raw, less than a week. but, I already feel better. I also was a little confused. The only unraw thing I had this week was yogurt, 2 ears of cooked corn and 2 bags of microwave popcorn.

I think that's pretty good for the first week.
