Raw foods gaining stronghold in New England

We’re always on the lookout for positive stories about raw foods. Here’s one from the Salem News in Massachusetts.

Beverly, Massachusetts is now home to one of the few predominantly raw restaurants in New England, the Salem News reports in a Nov. 12 article, Raw talent: Uncooked diet catching on with the health-conscious.

Organic Garden is now a destination for raw foodists who travel from hours away to “the only place where they can order something they can’t make themselves.”

Swampscott resident Deb Fox is one patron. She’s been on the raw diet for about six years. “The more I did it, the more I noticed how good it felt,” she told the newspaper.

“Since she started making raw food her staple, Fox said she’s lost weight, has more energy, less arthritis, better digestion, and she definitely doesn’t feel like she’s 50. Her mind is clearer, she no longer gets headaches, mood swings or 3 p.m. slumps at work, and she has a greater awareness of her taste buds and her body.”

We’re excited to see raw foods growing in popularity in New England and around the globe!
