Dhrumil and his friend Gabe Anderson talk about what inspired them to create the daily raw food lifestyle blog, welikeitraw.com. Plus how the site is designed for the hipper, and not hippy side of raw living and how inspiring Sarma Melngailis’ posts are for their readers.

We Like It Raw is a great site for finding out about the Raw Foods community. And it actually IS a Raw Community. New York raw foods chef, Sarma Melngailis, has a blog on the site and her and site-founder Drumil Purohit are two people at the front of the Raw Revolution.

Also one of the top experts on the raw foods lifestyle is David Wolfe.

One very big thing I’m discovering about the Raw/Living Foods lifestyle is the use of raw chocolate (cacao). It’s definitely a healthier alternative to those who love chocolate like me. And diabetics should rejoice in being able to combine ingredients like raw cacao powder and agave nectar.

Chocolate (cacao) is considered a superfood, so in its purest form it IS an excellent source of antioxidants and nutrients. The problem is how that cacao is processed to make it unhealthy for us.

One thing however, that I’ve noticed, is that the big Chocolate companies are now offering chocolates that are something like 75% cacao. The only problems I’ve seen in chocolates have always been the type of fat used and dairy products such as butter or milk, which contain cholesterol.

Well, it’s just nice to see all these Raw resources on the Internet popping up here and there. For a while, I thought I was alone in my discovery of the Raw Foods lifestyle. I’m still not 100% Raw and I think it would be too hard for me, but I do “feel” the difference when I eat like 75% raw or more.
