SUMMARY:May Meetup Potluck # 2
DESCRIPTION:Raw Food Meetups > JaxRaw - NorthEast Florida's Raw & Living Fo
 ods Meetup\n\nMay Meetup Raw Potluck & Book Discussion\n\nThis is a raw pot
 luck\, so please bring a raw\, vegan dish to share with those in attendance
 . If it can be organic\, even better :-) Recipes can be found here - on our
  message board. Please contact any one of the organizers if you are unsure 
 of what to bring or what to expect at one of these events. \n\nThe book Enz
 yme Nutrition does not have to be read in order to attend. I will have deta
 iled notes about the book to hand out that evening\, so even those who have
  not read the book will find this of some interest\, and will find the disc
 ussion easy to follow along with. Those who will have read the book by that
  point\, I would like all comments (good\, bad\, or otherwise) to be includ
 ed. I am looking for critique and skepticism as much as I am looking for pr
 aise of his work\, considering a very large segment of mankind is unaware o
 f his theories. \n\n The book to be discussed will be Dr. Edward Howell's E
 nzyme Nutrition\, considered by myself to be the bible of the raw food move
 ment\, from a science/historical approach. Dr. Howell's pioneering research
  since 1930 has challenged the modern day conception that food enzymes are 
 not useful for the health and wellness of human beings. The evidence presen
 ted and interdisciplinary approach Dr. Howell uses (drawing from paleontolo
 gists\, historians\, scientists\, anthropologists\, and extensive medical r
 esearch) sets Enzyme Nutrition well apart from other books that detail the 
 raw food movement. This book\, moreso than others I have read\, will give a
 nyone who's new\, or seasoned\, as a raw foodist the scientific ammo to com
 bat even the most dubious critic of the raw food path. \n\nAn outline for t
 he book discussion can be found Here\, on our "files" page\n\nBook info\, p
 lus various quotes by Dr. Howell\, including many in the book (updated peri
 odically)\, can be found Here - keep scrolling down this message thread :-)
 \n\n\n\nSome side notes\n\nThis will be the Jaxraw Meetup for the Month of 
 May\, as The Present Moment is hosting an event on the previous Monday and 
 will not be available for a meetup during this month.\n\nThis Book Discussi
 on and Raw Potluck will also be held on the next evening\, Sunday for those
  whose schedules may conflict with certain dates during this Memorial Day w
 eekend. You could attend more than one date if you so desire\, but it is no
 t necessary. It will be the same event each day.\n\n\nMy roommates still co
 nsist of 1 Ninja and 2 long-hair feline hellions. Not much has changed beca
 use of 1 potluck\, though she may be slicing up the leftovers with her ninj
 a sword as I am preparing for Day #2. The Ninja actually laid down all the 
 hardwood floors in the place\, giving it that nice\, pretty glow. Any raw f
 ood that is dropped on these floors may garner a worried look from her\, bu
 t I assure you ... she will do you no harm :-)\n\nThe "heads-up" concerning
  the feline hellions is for people who may have allergies concerning long-h
 aired cats. These three are not raw\, but maybe your presence at this meetu
 p will convince them otherwise. One can dream\, no?\n\nOf course\, if any q
 uestions do come about (about the book or otherwise)\, I am always availabl
 e through this site. I hope to see some new and returning faces for this pa
 rticular weekend.\n\nJacksonville\, FL  32210 - USA\n\nSaturday\, May 24 at
