Breast secretions are good for you. Babies eat them.

Practically all disease, especially cancer, heart, liver, kidney, blood sugar, and to a large extent, obesity, is the result of consuming animal products and cooked food. If you want to be diseased and fat, then keep doing what you're doing, eating the flesh and breast secretions of other species. Stephen Parker, www.rawdish.com

There's a local angle to all of this, a raw restaurant in Chicago-- in fact two of them (owned by the same person, a woman named Karyn). karynraw.com I haven't eaten at them because I live in Florida, and it's a long drive for dinner. I know of them because I have an online magazine celebrating the raw foods lifestyle. Judy Pokras editor/founder RawFoodsNewsMagazine.com

If I eat a couple of Italian Beefs smothered with peppers and fried onions and then vomit it into a bowl and serve it to some weird San Francisco, would it be considered "raw"? p.s. This is another post in the Chicagoist series of posts that have nothing to do with Chicago. Please post this at "San Fransciscoist" or "Bizzare Foodist."

I've been to the restaurant in SF too, but did not experience the GI turbulence that laura did. The food is not something I would eat every day, but I liked it more than I thought I would. Oh, they even have organic beer and wine to wash it down.

I would like some "I Am Honoring" nachos to go with my "I'm getting drunk" margaritas.

I've actually been the cafe in San Francisco. The food isn't bad at all. We ended up calling it Cafe Crapitude after what it did to our insides after eating there. Something about all that rawness doesn't make my GI system happy.

caroline, you realize that, by rejecting the sprituality of raw food, you are indeed going to hell.
