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 can give you my Ayervedic (sp?) cookbook if you want. You can just have the caffeinated tea and alcohol despite its strictures. It's all vegetarian. I'm sure you will be able to find prepared foods that meet its requirements. I made two or three things from it that sounded good but none of them actually were good, so it's just taking up valuable cookbook shelf space, which could be filled with "100 Of The Most Delicious Cakes Known To Modern Man."
ETA the cookbook contains definite views on what should and shouldn't be cooked, and what foods should and shouldn't be eaten. Not entirely unlike the raw food stuff, except you can cook some things.
