  • Raw Food Pioneers
    Raw Food Pioneers The first thing you notice upon stepping inside a raw-food kitchen is how fresh it smells: gingery, lemony, herby, garlicky, cucumbery, even slightly pickled. Like walking into a zesty bowl of fruit salad or a tangy plate of bruschetta. Minus the bread, of course. You’ll never smell bread baking, bacon crisping, or mozzarella bubbling in a raw-food kitchen. Well, not unless the “bread” is dehydrated, gluten-free, and made of chia seeds and almonds; the “bacon” is actually wafer-thin, dehumidified eggplant; and the “mozzarella” is made entirely from cashew paste. Welcome to the world of vegan raw food: turn off your oven, pour dairy milk down the drain, and put down that meat cleaver. “The term ‘raw food’ refers to food that hasn’t been cooked, treated, or processed in any way above 42°C (115°F),” says Irene Arango, raw-food chef and co-owner of NAMA Foods, the Notting Hill eatery that’s spearheaded London’s raw-food scene since 2013. “Food cooked above this temperature starts to lose vital vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Our food is 100% meat-, wheat-, dairy-, and gluten-free. It’s vegan, unprocessed and – it’s worth saying – just as nature intended.” Arango began eating raw a decade ago after witnessing the remarkable effect the diet had on friends. “Back then the term ‘raw food’ was fairly uncommon, even in places like New York,” she says. “But two of my friends tried it and within six months were completely new people, with improved health and energy.

Food safety and food security are monitored by agen- cies like the International Association for Food Protec- tion, World Resources Institute, World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Food Information Council. They address issues such as sustainability, biological diversity, climate change, nutritional economics, population growth, water supply, and access to food.

Various foods 1 Food sources Most food has its origin in plants. Some food is obtained directly from plants; but even animals that are used as food sources are raised by feeding them food derived from plants. Cereal grain is a staple food that provides more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop. Corn (maize), wheat, and rice – in all of their varieties – account for 87% of all grain production worldwide.[2] Most of the grain that is produced worldwide is fed to livestock. Some foods not from animal or plant sources include var- ious edible fungi, especially mushrooms. Fungi and am- bient bacteria are used in the preparation of fermented and pickled foods like leavened bread, alcoholic drinks, cheese, pickles, kombucha, and yogurt.

  • How Athletes Are Going Vegan and Staying Strong from Ballerinas to Tennis Champs This Diet Is Way More Than a Trend
    How Athletes Are Going Vegan and Staying Strong From ballerinas to tennis champs this diet is way more than a trend. Jessica Ciencin Henriquez I’ve been dancing since I was 3,” says Juliet Doherty, an 18-year-old ballerina. “When I was training, I was told protein, protein, protein all the time, but I would get so lethargic.” In an effort to increase her stamina, Juliet started eliminating meat from her daily menu little by little and began seeing an improvement. By the time she cut out all animal products, Juliet knew she was onto something. “With a vegan diet, the food is dense nutritionally but not necessarily calorically, so you have to keep eating a lot throughout the day instead of just three heavy meals,” she explains. Juliet credits the continuous consumption of concentrated nutrients for her sustained stamina while en pointe. “When I’m performing or I have long days at the theater, I still feel like I have a lot of energy,” she says with a bounce in her voice. In fact, since going vegan, the talented dancer has added another gold medal to her collection of awards: at the finals in the Youth America Grand Prix, the world’s largest student ballet scholarship competition. Juliet attributes her success to a combination of discipline, communication, and hard work — and becoming a vegan hasn’t hampered her one bit. Judging by the nearly half million Instagram photos tagged #veganathlete and #poweredbyplants, more and more people are beefing up without the beef, and awareness of this plant-filled lifestyle is creeping into the mainstream.
