I understand that I cannot do it because it involves (1) no alcohol and (2) no tea (I'm not sure which I would miss more), but the premise behind it all is somewhat intriguing to me*. This website - http://www.living-foods.com/ - has a lot of information about it. Note to Flinty, stick with the bananas:
I'm assuming everyone here thinks the raw foods philosophy is nuts (Nuts!) but I'm curious if there are any differing views.
*I may or may not be turning into some sort of California healthy living freak. Probably not though. I lack the whole willpower thing.

I of course do not think its nuts (no pun!). The idea is that cooking food kills the nutrients. I am the proud non-owner of a microwave for reasons along this line.
That said, no alochol, no caffeine, no dice. That takes a level of vanity and self preservation I cannot fathom. I once tried to eat a seaweed salad. Nasty.
