The Raw Food Difference

How do you lose weight, gain energy, and feel better than you ever have before? It’s simple. Eat raw, high energy foods all the time. Raw food will help you burn more calories, heal your body, and provide you with long lasting energy throughout the day. That is why I recommend a raw food diet to just about every one.

Not only should you start eating raw right away, there are certain high energy foods you absolutely shouldn’t be without. These are foods that provide a maximum amount of nutrition and energy, helping you burn away fat and finally be rid of your constant feeling of exhaustion. You should try to eat one of these each day.

As I’ve said before on this blog, I’m not offering you a diet. A diet is a temporary solution to a lifestyle problem. I am offering you a new lifestyle; one based in health, nature, and a new relationship to food. When you choose eating for energy food, instead of the processed, cooked, sugary foods most people eat today, you choose a whole new way forward.

Only once you begin can you fully realize the raw food difference. It is truly incredible, but no one can understand it without actually experiencing it for themselves. If you are still having doubts, why not try eating raw for just a few days? You may notice you feel hungry, or have cravings for salts and sugars, but you will also notice that you have a lot more energy, are more mentally alert, and that you experience fewer aches and pains. You will see for yourself how raw food high energy foods can totally change your life.

Your food with the basic knowledge of drinks

　　
　　When discussing pairing drinks with food recently, a friend said to me, "pairing in general is completely subjective and bogus. In reality, perception and attitude have far more to do with a successful pairing than flavor anyway."
What an interesting idea! But I don't agree. Sure, perception is different for everyone, and sure, your expectations will shape how anything you eat or drink tastes. But we shouldn't discard the idea of pairing because of that—there's just too much deliciousness to lose.
Pairing Isn't Snobby, You Do It All the Time
I'd like to dispel the myth that those who think about which beverages will go best with their food are snobs, that thinking about pairing is only for people who hold their pinkies up when they drink tea. As food lovers, we think about pairing all the time.
Let's say you have a brownie. It's deep and chocolaty and just a little sweet. You could put a scoop of ice cream on it, or a drizzle of hot fudge. You could add some berries, or a raspberry sauce, or a little salted caramel, or quite a few other delicious things. But would you add garlicky pesto? Would you add tomato-and-onion salsa? Would you add melted cheddar cheese? Probably not. The flavors wouldn't taste good together; that pesto would ruin your brownie, and the other way around. What a waste.
It's not snobby to want what you eat and what you drink to taste good together. When you season a dish, or add a sauce, you're thinking about combining flavors that taste good together. You add a squeeze of lime to balance a dish, or you add a pinch of cumin. There's not just one way to spice your chili, and there's not just one drink to pair with your french fries (Milkshakes? Of course. Sparkling wine? Totally.)
But it's worth taking two seconds to think about whether a particular drink will go with what you're eating, whether it will make the food taste better, and whether it will make the drink taste better, or whether both will be diminished. If you like food, it makes sense that you'd want to improve it with what you're drinking. And that's where the miraculous happens: sometimes flavors in solid form and flavors in liquid form come together to create a third, delicious, set of flavors, bringing out something you wouldn't taste if you hadn't tried them together.
Drink What You Like
People often say, "Just drink what you like, forget about the rules."
Sure. If you hate a certain drink, you likely won't love it with your food. (Though a great combination might surprise you.) But take 'drinking what you like' as a first step, and then think about when to drink it.

Say you have a bottle of your favorite Cabernet in the fridge. Fantastic! But should you drink it the night you're having lamb chops, or the night you're having sushi? Chances are one combination will make you say 'wow,' and compliment the cook, and the other might feel a little fishy.

Eat good and drink good

　　
　　the problem:
I want to solve community hunger. There are many people in my community that are struggling to put food on their tables. Also some people on the street don't have a table to place anything on, so I would like to feed the community every Friday or more days if the grant is a great amout.
This is important to me because I love to cook, eat, and help others. Why not cook meals for people who need. I want to be a famous chef with my own restaurant, but as a teenager I want, I need to help people in need because, I am that person trying to be successful, but it won't happen if I don't help others in need. I believe serving food to the community is the best way, always wanted to do this but never had the materials to do this. If I get the grant this would be a major success in my teenage journey!
the plan of action:
I want to gather more teenagers to participate. Half of the grant would go to supplies, and the other half to the youth staff, to be offered as a stipend. I want to be recognized on television, to show that us teenagers can make a difference and do something positive.
how you can get involved:
Others can just apply themselves on my facebook page Serving Food For the Community.
