[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 896, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/02/gandhis-raw-food-diet/582721/'][B]Gandhi’s Vision for Equality Involved Raw Food - The Atlantic[/B][/URL] The activist sought to bring independence to every Indian—including by freeing up the time that might be spent in the kitchen. For 11 days in the summer of 1893, Gandhi ate nothing but raw food. This was not his first experiment with what he called “vital food,” nor would it be his last. Later in life, he would go months without cooking his food. What makes those 11 days in 1893 remarkable is that he kept a food diary in which he carefully recorded everything he ate and everything he felt. He had arrived in South Africa only a few months earlier, a 24-year-old lawyer from India thrown into a profoundly stratified society. He had been kicked off a train for daring to ride first class, and had been physically abused by a racist stagecoach driver.
