As a nice counterbalance to the 20/20 story on orthorexia, CNN’s Sanjay Gupta, M.D., has now taken a look at the raw food diet as well.
Angela Stoke’s story of successful weight loss and energy gain through the raw food lifestyle is encouraging and should help paint a more positive picture of the movement.
Last year Sanjay Gupta did a big piece on life extension and calorie restriction in which he displayed similar equanimity. Further, he willingly submitted to public testing and evaluation of his own diet. Bravo!

What an amazing story.. well done to Angela!! Good for her. It just shows you what you can do when you put your mind to it
Raw food sounds a bit bland though, but if you need to lose the weight, that seems like the way to do it!
