Hi,

I am required to research a subculture for my anthropology class, and have chosen to delve into raw foods. I am going to spend 10 days eating only raw foods, and am also interviewing the raw foodists I know. However, I dont' know many, and would like your help in filling out a questionnaire. The answers will help me give an accurate account of the raw-food lifestyle, as well as helping to educate me. If you would like to help me out, please answer the following 8 questions, and email the answers back to rawproject at care2.com, or post them in a reply.
Thanks so much!

1. Why have you chosen to eat all/mostly raw foods?
2. How long have you been eating this way?
3. Do you consider yourself to be part of the vegan culture, or something completely separate?
4. Do your friends and family eat raw with you? Do they support you, or nag you about your diet?
5. Do you feel that your raw-food lifestyle plays into your politics, religion, and social beliefs? How about your job?
6. What do you eat in a typical day? (I am not asking for a food journal here. Just tell me if you prefer to eat mostly fruits, mostly vegetables, if you take supplements, if you ??re into food combining, etc)
7. Are you part of any other ??subculture? ?? This includes macrobiotics, punk, hippie, liberal, Jewish, etc.
8. Anything else you would like to add about what raw foods means to you?
