This short documentary film follows two extremely lively and enthusiastic pre-med students at Maharishi University, Antwan and Yahya, though a month of their experiment eating a 100% raw/vegan diet. The story of their experiences, both challenges and benefits, on the raw food diet shows if and how it is possible for a college student to survive going raw.
What is your take on the matter?

While I can certainly see the inherent benefits of such a diet, and I'm all for fostering a sense of community and support around lifestyle adjustments like these...I have to wonder if "going cold turkey" (...and interesting turn of phrase considering the subject!) and limiting the variety of foods that one consumes is such a good idea over the long term.
I've always considered moderation and a willingness to be open to the variety of all things to be the key to a happy life...and food is a necessary part of that philosophy. For the most part I eat what I consider to be healthy foods, but recognize that indulging once in a a while in things that are "bad" for me is part of the experience.
Sometimes, you just gotta have that cheeseburger.

This video was great i know there was another video on the benefits of a raw food diet but this one is a lot better. I've thought about doing this but being a vegetarian already with no one else around who is i know how hard it can be at times to feel alone in something your choosing to do.

I'm fascinated by my own reluctance to respond. Not because I'm too timid to speak up but because I've lost confidence that "true believers" —pace Eric Hoffer— will (or can!) truly recognize and respond to rational arguments for alternative positions. As a general principle, extending way beyond arguments about what people eat or how it's prepared.
I find that very, very discouraged.

That was fascinating. I'd do it if I could get live foods to last longer.
I hate when I get salad makings and don't manage to eat them in time. It annoys the hell out of me that its cheaper to eat stuff that is about as healthy as paper.
Who knows though, start making money and I would love to do this sort of thing.

It is by far the healthiest and most natural diet.
