I'm not particularly picky about my tomatoes being raw or not with some things (most salsas use cooked tomatoes) but most of the time I do eat them raw when preparing them at home. I just love tomatoes! Yes, I understand that too about tomatoes…that the amount of lycopene is increased when cooked.

My understanding is that there are some foods that the nutrients are released when cooked (like tomatoes). Thanks, Rosie, for that explanation.

I call myself high raw on average. Raw foodists don't eat cooked or processed foods but eat whole natural foods. In a nutshell (pun intended - lol) foods cooked at higher temps kill off many of the enzymes and nutrients our bodies need. I have a friend who is wanting to only do med raw so there are some people who enjoy the balance of cooked and raw foods. It just depends on the individual and what works for them. Hope that helps. :) Well, I’m not 100% raw so that means I do have some cooked meals (not always vegetarian and/or vegan) but I am trying to eat more raw and more healthy.

For myself, I like the idea of having a balance of raw and cooked. Rosie, I’d like to hear more about raw foods. For myself, I like the idea of having a balance of raw and cooked.

Since my hubby is a raw vegan and I'm high raw (still have my cooked meals here and there and not always vegan) we consume a lot of raw nuts and seeds. I think where people go wrong with nuts being bad for you are the ones that are roasted and heavily salted/sugared, etc. But just raw they are so delicious and healthy. Thanks for posting this - it's very informative and enlightening IMO and I hope that others will rethink how they view nuts. And I agree that so called "fat free" crackers/cookies are a joke.

Instead, someone will eat a "fat-free" cracker or cookie, with white flour and possibly sugar. Now that *will* make you fat.
