Raw foods though have the benefits that you have many of the nutrients still available. You lose so much of the benefits once their cooked or processed.

I live in Portland Oregon and it’s cold and wet more than half the year and living on a raw diet is more of a challenge during that time of the year so I end of going partially off of it for a few months until the farmers markets return.

I do make a good hearty veggie soup in the winter though.

Raw food might be healthy and good to lose some weight but to maintain eating that might be a problem for those people who can't control food intake in their mouth, like me! Pinkladys last blog post..Faces Steak Garden

Global warming is a scam for global tax.
To even worry about it is a waste of brain cycles. The sun’s cycle is the reason for cold/warmth…not people. While I think the environment should be cared for, carbon credits/tax is a sad socialist one world government scam…fall for it and you are a sheep.

I don’t see why raw local is such a big problem? Do you eat sprouted grains and and peas? You can have those all winter no problem– You also have squash butternut is divine raw.

You can get apples through early December and kale and other greens all winter.

I refuse to eat tropical fruits– It just seems to defeat the whole purpose.

I have less of an issue with dried beans that are not local since they can be transported slowly–

[...] may raw foodies out there, cold weather is getting closer every day. So how do you handle eating raw raw foods in winter? People who are equally concerned about raw foods AND green living want to eat both raw and local [...]

Great thought provoking post. Eating raw absolutely saves energy on many levels, and the increased cost of buying organic can be justified on this level! OrganicallyTvs last blog post..A humorous and eye opening short film about plastic bags

I live in Missouri as well, and the winters here are very rough. I am considering going raw, or at least incorporating more raw foods into my diet. I am a vegan, and I already eat mostly raw foods. A co-worker of mine is a vegan raw foodist, and he mentioned that it can be very difficult on the body to adopt a raw food diet in our harsh winter climate.

gosh–i am so glad to read this. i’ve been an activist in my town’s local food movement since 2003. when i switched to raw foods, i had the hardest time getting past this issue. i live in missouri, which is most definitely not california.
