Day 7 Raw Thoughts

I am constantly seeking out new ways to improve my diet and try new ways of healthy eating. From vegetarian>vegan>oil-free vegan>raw oil-free vegan>??? Well after raw we have foraging...YES!!! This is my ideal food path...wild edibles!!! This makes the most sense in our over-consuming modern age of nutrient depleted soil and disgusting water. With the foraging(one of my favorite words) path, it's all good!

For starters, if you are picking your produce in the woods, it is all organic. But even better than organic is wild. Wild edible(also a nice word) seeds have not been crossed or altered by man and the food remains as God intended it to. The soil has not been farmed upon, which even in crop rotation soil is stripped of nutrients. 

Also, the water that organic produce is fed is treated with the same garbage as tap water and in most cases worse. In nature the plants drink nitrogen rich cloud filtered rain water. Then we have the best bonus of wild edibles, the fresh factor! It doesn't get any more fresh than picking it and eating it. 

I would love to, one day, be able to make my green smoothies with wild weeds and herbs!!! So, if you live anywhere near a woodland area or if you suspect you have some tasty weeds in your backyard...put a lid on your roundup, check a wild edible guide, and go forage!!!
