Vegetarian and Raw Food Diets
by
Joanne Apat
There are a few distinct differences between vegetarian and raw food diets. A vegetarian is someone who is committed to not eat meat, fish, poultry or any animal products, but only consumes vegetables, pasta, and rice. A raw foodist is a vegetarian, but one who eats unprocessed, uncooked, organic, whole foods, like fruits and vegetables. It denotes a diet that is at least 75% uncooked! Raw foodist cooks very little and definitely doesn’t cook or process fruits and vegetables.
Raw foodist, vegans and frutarians are some of the different categories of vegetarians. However, to be a raw food purist, you should eat raw vegetables like raw broccoli, not steamed. To a vegetarian, who doesn’t eat meat or fish or any animal products, steamed vegetables are just as good, though every person would concur that steaming can take out nutrients from foods and turn them into less nutritious.
