Raw Food at Crossroads
Last night was Raw Food night at Crossroads. I don’t mean sushi and raw meat (which would be awesome), but something else. I will point you to the website by Cal Dining.
I was eating there and I had to try this raw food they were advertising.
From the Cal Dining website:
Why Eat Raw Food?
People get into raw food for a number of reasons, and here are some of the many and varied reasons:Ethics:
Some arrive by a path that involves a search for more natural, ethical and sustainable ways of living; a more compassionate way of life, as a natural extension of vegetarianism or veganism, or being ‘green’.
Spiritual:
Some sense the spiritual benefits, cleansing mind and body, with the widespread tradition of eating only or mainly raw fruit amongst wise men and women.
The five things featured were:
Kale Salad
Pasta with Pesto
Spicy Carrot Soup
Brownies with Cashew Cream
Apple Cobbler
I tried all of them, and the brownies were the best, but they tasted like an Odwalla bar. The apple cobbler was not as good as it looked and neither was the “pasta” (actually zucchini). I took one sip of the carrot soup and was glad it was a small sip.
I also tried the Kale salad. It was made with dinasour kale. Since it is spelled like dinosaur, and dinosaurs are cool I figured it must taste good. When I put a piece in my mouth it was so bad it immediately went into my napkin.
From my experience last night I now know to avoid anything that claims to be “raw food.”
Does anyone else have an experience with this “Raw Food?”
What, is fire somehow an unnatural thing now?

Clearly, it was delivered by those imperialists, led by Prometheus. Ruined our culture and everything.

Raw food=not so bad.
Dorm food=inedible lumps of carbohydrates and protein
I suggest eating raw food at a decent restaurant like Cafe Muse at the Berkeley Art Museum.
In my experience raw food isn’t bad. Try raw cashew cheesecake sometime.
