It’s Paw Paw Season!

There’s a delicious fruit coming into season that might be growing in your back yard, but virtually no one knows about it – Allow me to introduce you to the Paw Paw. 

The Paw Paw kept Lewis and Clark’s expedition from starving, and fed the early settlers of the United States.

It was a favorite desert of George Washington, distracted entire regiments (who preferred chowing down in orchards to to fighting) during the Civil War, and was incorporated into the managed food forests of the Native Americans.

Since the industrial agriculture and transportation system took over, though, food has strayed from its local roots, and outside of its native range, the paw paw has been mostly forgotten.

In episode 27 of the Raw Food Health Podcast, we’ll talk to Chris Chmiel, a paw paw farmer who founded the Ohio Paw Paw Festival, and now seeks to get this fruit a bit of well-deserved attention.

We talk about the paw paw, foraging for it in the wild for fun and profit, the Ohio Paw Paw Festival, and how you can get your hands on some paw paws if you live outside of its usual haunts.

Correction:

In the show I say Chris’ Farm is in Athens County Georgia. It is actually in Athens County Ohio

Show Notes:

Andrew’s Overfeeding Experiment

Chris’s Farm, Integration Acres

The Ohio Paw Paw Festival

Mike Vlasaty

We know raw foodists excel at endurance sports, but what about about strength training?

When Mike Vlasaty went raw, he decided to concentrate on weight lifting and bodyweight exercises to see if he could really get strong and gain a lot of muscle while eating a raw vegan diet.

In the Raw Food Health Podcast Episode 25 we talk to Mike about how that experiment worked out, what he eats, if he’s concerned about protein, and many other topics.

I also talk about whether or not a healthy low fat raw vegan diet is appropriate for everyone.

Show Notes

1) Mike’s Fruit And Strength Youtube Page.

2) What Ants Can Teach You About Health/Systems Theory

3) AGE formation And fructose

Think cinnamon, turmeric, peppers, and the dozens of flavor-enhancing foods, spices, and herbs raw foodists sometimes employ are healthy because they’re raw?

In episode 23 of the Raw Food Health Podcast we talk about why many “healthy” foods have a downside that creates the drug-like effect doctors, ayurvedic and Chinese medicine practitioners, and naturopaths like to praise.

I also interview Phillip Cuccerre, the Business Development Manager for the Carmelita banana brand. I ask him why his company’s bananas seem to taste better than the average cavendish you get in the United States.

Show Notes:

1) Garlic Article

2) Onion Article

3) Cinnamon Article

This cultivated Cherimoya is much smaller than its wild cousin, the junglesop, and no more sugary.Is modern fruit too sugary and over bred?

After our discussion of genetically modified foods a few episodes back, a lot of people have been asking about something we hear all the time in the raw food world – that today’s fruits are too hybridized, too sugary, too big, and man-bred seedless monstrosities to boot.

Is there any valid criticism in this critique, or yet another example of the raw food community blathering on like fools in pseudo science speak?

In episode 22 of the Raw Food Health Podcast, we find out, and also discuss using okra in raw food recipes.

ADD, learning disorders, and dozens of other neurological problems have become rampant in children over the last few decades as their bodies have grown fat and failed to develop strength and balance.

Why? A perfect storm of brain-altering electronics, lack of outdoor play and exercise, fewer decision-making opportunities, worsening diets, and other lifestyle changes have played a huge role.

I episode 21 of the Raw Food Health Podcast we explore some of the interesting data on learning and physical activity.

Other topics:

1) Save money, the environment, and improve your skin with better shaving options.

2) How to avoid overeating on fruit.

Readers of Raw-Food-Health.net periodically tell me that I must be diet obsessed to be on such a restricted food regime. More recently, the announcement that I’d be fasting for the better part of a month netted me around 40 emails, many from people concerned that my “obsession,” with health had driven me off the deep end.

Some used the term “orthorexic” to describe me, and urged me to seek help.

Is there any merit to their concerns? Might someone be so preoccupied with achieving health and vitality that they end up hurting themselves?

In Episode 16 of the raw food health podcast I talk about whether or not being a raw foodist makes you mentally unhinged, obsessive, and orthorexic.

Other Topics:

1) Using celery as a salad dressing base.

2) The outcome of my 30-day squat trial.

3) My bodyweight and acro progression.

Show Notes:

1) How to eliminate migraine headaches on a raw diet.

Not A Representation Of Fasting

I don’t plan on eating next month.

Yeah…no food…for 25 to 28 days.

Am I crazy?

Why would I choose to waste away when I’m at the peak of my health, fitness, strength, and vitality?

In Episode 15 of the Raw Food Health Podcast I talk about fasting, what the benefits are, how normal it is in nature, and why I’m choosing to have a long one now.

Beyond fat loss and fat gain, are you happy with the figure that looks back at you from the mirror?

Is it scrawny or gangly? Would you rather that it had the strength to lift heavier things and propel you through the world?

In episode 14 of the Raw Food Health Podcast I help Marina Grubic get a handle on her recent body fat and muscle mass reading, and suggest ways that she can sculpt her body to get the figure that she wants.

I also talk about the limitations of body sculpting, and just how effective you can be in changing how you look.
