Simply Raw Bliss

Welcome! Thanks for visiting! Allow me to whet your appetite for learning more about the 'raw foods diet'. Do you want to be a good steward of
that magnificent temple called your body? How about stewardship of the earth? Do you know that you can practice good stewardship of the
earthly blessings our Creator has bestowed on us and reap vibrant health in the process? The raw foods lifestyle is about all that and more. If you
are interested in making changes that will ripple out and affect other areas of your life as well, then it's a great place to start! It's animal friendly,
for sure. It's organic. It's sustainable. Almost everything that comes out of your kitchen can either be eaten, recycled, or composted! The amount
of trash that leaves your home could be greatly reduced, if not eliminated altogether. Pretty soon you may find yourself changing not only the
foods you are buying, but many of the household products and clothing as well. You will undoubtedly gain a new appreciation for all that has
been entrusted to us.

And what about stewardship of our most precious resource.......
our children!  If you are a parent, or  about to become one, there is a terrific
video, along with a companion manual that is specifically geared toward assisting you with that very thing!





                                                                       
 Raising Children Raises Us
                                                                          by Shannon Leone and family




You don't have to be too astute to look around and see that in this country our children are in dire straits when it comes to health and dietary
practices. The prevalence of ADHD and the alarming rise of Adult Onset Diabetes (in CHILDREN!) should be a wake-up call to us all. If we don't
change things for ourselves, (and why wouldn't we want to?) we should at least give the next generation a fighting chance!
I began 'Simply Raw Bliss' after being introduced to the raw and living foods lifestyle almost 4 years ago. Watching my own mother succumb to
the complications of diabetes at the ripe old age of 39 only served to make me keenly aware that there had to be another way. Unlike many
others who embark on this diet and lifestyle, I didn't have any serious health issues or an inordinate amount of weight to lose, but I wanted
glowing health, energy and disease prevention. Plus a whole lot more! And that 'whole lot more' was what was missing in everything I had tried in
my life up until that point. Once you experience the magic of raw foods, there's simply nowhere else to go.....but forward! For more information
on conquering diabetes with a live foods diet, you will definitely want to see "Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Day".  I cannot recommend it
highly enough!
                   






My goal is to help introduce others to this life-changing path towards raw and living foods,  and assist them in integrating more raw foods into
their diets, as well as making other dietary and lifestyle changes for optimal health and well being. As you will see, there's more to it than just
food, and it only gets better as time goes by. (Hence the term 'lifestyle' and not just 'diet') It begins with your health, and then spills over into
every other area of your life, the lives of those around you, and hopefully into the lives of your children as well. I encourage you to join me on this
journey; it's as fascinating as the destination itself!
I hope this frequently updated site will provide you with some 'one-stop-shopping' for  informational resources, products and motivation to get
you started out right on the journey to vibrant health through the raw foods lifestyle. Check out the
Super Store for an endless array of helpful

Come and Get It!

They sit in their places
Concern on their faces
Four people with big appetites.
When one will at last
Get the courage to ask
"What's for dinner tonight?

Is it something new
Made with tofu
Or a vegetarian meal?
Why must we eat
Substitute meat
Can't we have food that is real?"

Mother tries to explain
To erase their disdain
As they eye the food with suspicion.
"Get ready to run"
Warns the skeptical son
Who is not impressed with nutrition.

"I just want you to try it
On our new healthy diet"
The nurturing mother implores.
"It's full of Omega threes,
They'll help you fight disease.
If you like it you can have more!"

"What's in it?" they question.
"Is it good for digestion?
Remember what happened the last time!
We don't want to be rude,
But we miss our junk food.
Couldn't you find a new pastime?"

Mother smiles. "Relax!
It's loaded with flax.
The health benefits are incredible.
It'll help you live long
And be healthy and strong.
I promise you it will be edible.

You must be persuaded.
Your tastebuds are jaded
From too much unnatural food.
But give it a chance
Your tastebuds will dance.
You'll have a new food attitude!"

They bolt for the door
The ravenous four
Afraid if they eat they will sicken.
"Are you out of your mind?"
Mother calls from behind
"Really...it tastes just like chicken!"
