veganism: I have been curious about raw veganism for a while and have been trying to read about it. I have only been doing internet searches and have not found what I have been looking for. Are there books out there written by qualified individuals that discuss benefits/health issues of raw veganism? If so, can you tell me title/authors?|||Good books discussing the benefits of raw food: Living on Live Food by Alissa Cohen Living Cuisine by Renee Loux Underkoffler 12 Steps to Raw Foods by Victoria Boutenko Raw by Juliano Brotman The best books to start with are "Raw Food Made Easy" by Jennifer Cornbleet, and "The Complete Book of Raw Food" by Lori Baird and Julie Rodwell. Both have good recipes that don't require specialty equipment, and "The Complete Book of Raw Food" is packed with information and resources.

Also, read books by doctors such as Gabriel Cousens, an Ivy League MD who has been raw vegan for about 30 years. Read interviews by athletes who eat mostly raw food: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article鈥?/a>|||Yes I have seen a couple books at borders. I have been a vegan for two years now.
