As a diet, raw food makes a pretty solid case for itself. With health benefits said to span physical and mental (think: glowing skin, heightened energy, tough immune system), and with advocates like Demi Moore, Natalie Portman and Woody Harrelson, many will likely be breaking out their Vitamix's this month with the best of intentions. But with the equipment, time, and elbow-grease required to manipulate one food into another, is it really worth it? And how will it taste? How does one even start? Rawcology, a Toronto-based raw food business' Intro to Raw class gives foodies a back-to-basics overview that makes the raw diet stomach-able - and palatable - for beginners.
