Raw Foods

Slate offers a seven day diary of a woman who recently switched to a raw foods diet. As someone who has done this before (only for a couple of weeks as part of a cleanse), it was heartening to read about someone who could keep this up for months, and she meets folks who have done this for years. I don’t mind cleansing once in awhile, but a full-time escapade really isolates one from society… I mean, you’re healthy, but is it worth it if you can’t commune with friends and family in a social setting?
