It's Okay
It’s okay!
You know what, it’s okay to not be 100% raw, and if you are reading this and ever feel guilty for eating food that may not be geared naturally for our bodies, then hey, it’s okay.
This is why as a company we have started selling products that may not be 100% raw but may however still serve you in your path to health, because if we are conscious and aware of our health then we know that we are all on our individual journey’s to achieve a level of health we are happy with, not one dictated by anyone else.
If your goal is to be 100% raw then great, but in any journey there are steps and there are events; there are circumstances and there are factors which may help or hinder, and theories that may be tried, tested and scrapped with regards to how to eat a 100% raw diet. There is so much controversy and uncertainty around what to actually eat and how to make yourself as healthy as possible, that if 100% raw seems too difficult or something that is unobtainable at this stage due to children who won’t be satisfied, not fitting in quite how you would like and/or generally not sure that you will be happy on the path of 100% raw that you choose, if as I said earlier, this is your path, then again, it’s okay.
For those that succeed and are 100% happy living on a 100% raw food diet, I congratulate you, and believe me, these people are very rare. But for those that choose to make a goal to be healthy and 100% happy seems far more attainable that being 100% raw and 100% happy, as if being 100% raw and 100% happy was easy, the perfect formula would have been reached and this formula would have already put to rest the continuous debate around what to eat and why on a raw food diet, because everyone will start to eat and live this way, and all debate around this issue will cease immediately.
But as with many things, it is never as black and white as this, as each of us are different in our beliefs, behaviours, personalities and lifestyles, and more to the point, our eating habits and preferences, and therefore each of us will find certain ways of living better than others, whether that includes 100% raw or not.
I think just being happy and working towards this goal alone is a worthy way of being in itself, and to be happy it is imperative that we are also healthy, which is the one certainty that I hold to, whether it is agreed upon or not, and so as I have pointed out more than once before, it is okay to be happy, but not 100% raw, which is the ethos Total Raw Food Ltd, the ethos of the staff that work hard everyday to fulfil our customers orders, and the ethos of my relatively new wife and I, Jess Fenton hold.
And you know what, it’s okay!
