went to the vegan tour of Whole Foods in Long Beach last week.  tons of vendors had tables offering samples of their products and I was surprised how many raw food companies were there.  The raw restaurant 118 Degrees in Costa Mesa had a table with a book, The Art of Raw Living Food, so I picked up a copy.  There's something wonderful in the introduction I want to share.

Sensitive emotions and relationship changes
        "A raw diet cleanses your system of any toxic chemicals that formerly played a part in controlling and dulling your emotions. Many people report that eating a diet that's free of toxins makes them hypersensitive to the emotions and personalities of those around them. The reality is that since your body no longer has to remove food toxins, you're more open to experience other parts of life. For some, this can open the door to in-depth emotional healing.  
        You may also find that people you formerly enjoyed are now difficult for you to be with. On the other hand, you'll very likely attract healthy new friends and enjoy an increase in accurate intuition.  You'll also experience more of the true essence of who you are. Once, your cells are functioning optimally, a whole new world of love and light is available to you."
