Human beings are getting fatter and sicker. As we question what we eat and why we eat it, this book argues that living well involves consuming a raw vegan diet. With eating healthfully and eating ethically being simpler said than done, this book argues that the best solution to health, environmental, and ethical problems concerning animals is raw veganism—the human diet. The human diet is what humans are naturally designed to eat, and that is, a raw vegan diet of fruit, tender leafy greens, and occasionally nuts and seeds. While veganism raises challenging questions over the ethics of consuming animal products, while also considering the environmental impact of the agriculture industry, raw veganism goes a step further and argues that consuming cooked food is also detrimental to our health and the environment. Cooking foods allows us to eat food that is not otherwise fit for human consumption and in an age that promotes eating foods in ‘moderation’ and having ‘balanced’ diets, this raises the question of why we are eating foods that should only be consumed in moderation at all, as moderation clearly implies they aren’t good for us. In addition, from an environmental perspective, the use of stoves, ovens and microwaves for cooking contributes significantly to energy consumption and cooking in general generates excessive waste of food and resources. Thus, this book maintains that living well and living a noble life, that is, good physical and moral health, requires consuming a raw vegan diet. Exploring the scientific and philosophical aspects of raw veganism, this novel book is essential reading for all interested in promoting ethical, healthful, and sustainable diets.

“I find the most satisfying food is food that’s full of life, so it’s raw and clean and organic.” - Miranda Kerr More than 1.2 million years ago, hominins, or early humans, started the trend of eating raw food. Not because they wanted to lose weight or fight diseases. But because using fire for heating food was still not the norm not until 500,000 years ago. Traces of grass and pine species were seen in their fossils. As well as, the presence of canine teeth. Perhaps, suggesting that they relied heavily on their system to break down food without the technology of fire.[1] Due to the rise of cardiometabolic diseases from processed or refined food, nutritionists and health enthusiasts started considering reverting to the raw food diet. Which heavily focuses on vegetables and fruits-- burning calories even at rest or while drawing out nutrients from food.[2] This is why, in the mid-1900s, a Presbyterian minister and dietary reformer, named Sylvester Graham, advocated raw food to stay away from diseases.[3] Due to its multiple benefits, such as weight loss, healthier-looking skin, and a stronger body, people have learned to adopt this new lifestyle to feel better physically, emotionally, and mentally.
