THE RAW FOOD DIET
INTRODUCTION The raw food diet, also known as raw foodism or raw veganism, emphasizes consuming unprocessed and uncooked foods. Advocates believe that eating raw foods preserves their nutritional value and enhances health benefits. The diet primarily consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains, with some variations allowing raw dairy, meat, or fish. The central philosophy is that heating food above 104-118°F (40-48°C) destroys essential nutrients and enzymes that aid digestion and overall health.

Opinion: Not Investing in Lab-Grown Meat is a Massive Mistake
On May 1st, 2024, infamous Governor Ron DeSantis signed a contentious bill into law: the banning of lab-grown meat in Florida. Only six days later, Governor Kay Ivey signed Alabama’s version into law to follow Desantis’ lead. Claimed to be a protection of the beef industry in Florida and Alabama, the proponents of the law believe that the use of cultured meat is against nature and could result in harm to ranching as a livelihood. Notably, both states have also shared an undertone of anti-authoritarianism in their reasoning, stating concern over the federal government having jurisdiction over what is and isn’t allowed in stores. Though these states are the first to take action, there are several other measures across the United States close to passing similar bills, namely in Arizona and Tennessee.
