Diet
At Funky Raw we recommend a raw vegetarian diet as a healthy diet for optimum nutrition. We believe our natural diet (many thousands of years ago) was made up of tropical fruits, nuts, leaves and insects or insect matter. This is the kind of diet primates currently eat.
Due to the current state of humans (see Left in the Dark), the state of the soil (lacking minerals due to intensive farming practices) and the actual fruit (changed from the original through many thousands of years of hybridisation by humans), we can no longer get by on this archaic diet, so this is what we currently recommend:
- Fruit - High quality fruit, fully ripened and grown on rich soil is essential, it is our main fuel.
- Greens – high quality greens grown on rich soil, particularly wild greens, in the form of salads, juice and blends (which help digestion), are essential for minerals and rebuilding.
- Nuts and seeds – these are vitally important to get enough density and rebuilding fuel to compensate for our malfunctioning systems. To aid assimilation one can soak and ferment, and add in raw dairy such as yogurt.
- Animal products – insects would have definatly been part of our archaic diet. Figs for instance are a primate’s favourite food, which they will choose over any other fruit and eat all year round if available. Wild figs are laden with insect matter and we feel this is very significant. At the very least we need to substitute for this and animal products also help with maintaining a dense enough diet. This can be in the form of unpasteurised milk, cheese made with unpasteurised milk, goats or sheep's generally being better than cows milk. Some people choose to consume raw eggs, if you do, buy them direct from a local farmer if possible.
Butter is also great if made with milk from grass fed pastured animals. Raw is best.
Some people find that they need more animal foods in their die such as cod liver oil and raw fish. - Supplements and Superfoods – these help to compensate for not only our malfunctioning system but also for the degeneration of the soil. It may be possible however to avoid supplements if one eats food that are grown on very rich soil.
- High Quality cold pressed oils – these are essential for brain maintenance in our current condition. Flax oil and hemp seed oil are excellent. Keep all oils in the fridge.
