David Wolfe(m): We've dulled ourselves
down with this toxic food
and food that's not natural.
And when we bring back
the natural, we also
bring back the spiritual.
We invite in more glow
and more radiance and
we start to feel a sense
of something higher,
of something greater.
And the way I describe that,
and the way I phrase that,
is that we feel
something noble,
we feel a noble essence
in raw foods.

For the past 16 years,

the Foundation's efforts,
thus far tens of thousands
of fruit trees
have been planted
in North America,
South Asia, and Africa.
In our interview
we asked David
to discuss the advantages
of a raw food diet.
He began by defining
the term “raw food.”
David Wolf:
What is raw food again?
It's fruits and vegetables,
and nuts and seeds,
and seaweeds,
all raw and organic,
flowers, sprouts,
grasses like wheatgrass,
superfoods
and super herbs.
One of the great gifts that
it gives us, it allows us
to really begin to detect
what's going on in our body
and it gives us a lot of
insight in that way.
Of course there's great
nutrition in these foods,
and there's wonderful
amounts of antioxidants,
vitamins and minerals,
and trace minerals,
and polysaccharides,
which are essential sugars
that heal us.
HOST:
David Wolfe is well known
for his uplifting lectures
on how raw foods
can change one's life
for the better.
Why does he feel
so passionate
about raw food?
David Wolfe:
Raw food has definitely
made me more open to
that infinite supply of love
that emanates from
all living things, and
really from everything.
It allows you
to tune into subtler forces
that are available to us.
It allows you
to tune into beauty,
and the beauty ethic,
and the power of beauty
and in transforming
our self and
in transforming others.
It tunes you
into the great depth of
the mystery of our world,
and the mystery
of the cosmos, which to me
is so incredible.
Because
our creator is so deep,
and so incredibly rich,
that it's a mystery.
HOST:
David is a firm believer
in the sanctity of life
and that our diet should
always reflect a respect
for all beings.
David Wolfe(m):
To bring the vibration
of this whole planet up
we have got to
stop this killing.
And it's not just war.
It's also what we're having
for breakfast.
It's not just there's people
shooting each other.
It's also we're
shooting these animals
and we're destroying
these noble life forms.
And we can very deeply
benefit spiritually from
removing ourselves
from that karma,
and opening ourselves
up to other choices:
vegan, vegetarian
and then beyond that,
raw food.
HOST:
Raw foods feature
rich flavors and raw chefs
around the world
are continually creating
healthful new dishes that
replicate the taste of their
non-raw counterparts.
David Wolfe:
We can have raw coconut
cashew ice-cream.
Every flavor
you ever wanted.
Raw chocolate chip mint
ice-cream - no dairy -
it's all made out of coconut,
and cashews
and pistachios
and you eat that
and you're like, “Oh my!
This is incredible,
what is going on?”
And there's no side effects.
So we get all those
goodies - no side effects.
