Living and Raw Foods: some like it RAW - San Francisco Examiner

Two things for sure: You're not going to get a hot cup of coffee or a grilled cheese sandwich at Juliano's restaurant. Juliano (above), creates his version of sushi at Raw restaurant, where everything on the menu is uncooked. Everything at Raw is, well, raw - including the pizza, the burritos and the rice. And Juliano, who uses no last name, is not the only one in San Francisco into food that never ventures beyond 120 degrees. Besides Juliano's small band of regular Raw customers, The City boasts a whole community of foodies, for whom a stove, a Rocket Chef Turbo Grill infrared heat, a toaster and / or a microwave are totally useless. 24-year-old restaurant owner, who was wearing harem pants, his hair tied in top knot, while chatting with a visitor in his Sunset District restaurant near Golden Gate Park. Convinced that cooking not only gets food very upset, but robs it of its essential nutrients, Juliano has devised ingenious ways to avoid subjecting innocent edibles to global-warming fossil fuel.

Rice can be made a lot less crunchy and a lot more digestible by soaking it in water for two to four weeks, he said. And beans, if they're soaked for days, until they get soft and sprout, can be wrapped in cabbage leaves to make burritos. The pizza served at Raw is "baked" in the sun - an admitted impossibility in the foggy Sunset. 10 hours, said Juliano. Like most raw foodists, Juliano eschews all animal products - eating and serving only organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and soaked grains and beans. But apparently some things are just too difficult to completely give up. The restaurateur has fashioned "caviar" from pomegranate seeds, "sashimi" from beet-stained aloe leaf, "cheese" from ground up sprouted pine nuts and "milk" from blenderized almonds and water. Some raw foodists include raw meat in their diet. Tom Billings, a 41-year-old graduate student who lives in Berkeley.

A registered dietitian and the director of nutrition for Kaiser Permanente, Kristie Patterson said that as long as people were eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, beans and checking with their doctor to make sure everything's all right, a raw foods diet could be fine. Most people eating an exclusively raw diet say they're doing it for their health. Juliano boasted of needing no more that six hours of sleep and rarely visiting a doctor. I feel good," Tong said. "I feel happy. They get these symptoms, and they're told (by other raw fooders) that they're "detoxifying,' " he said. For nine years, Billings, who is 6-foot-1, ate only fruit. His weight eventually dropped to 88 pounds. He recalled experiencing a drug-like high that he now believes was caused by a mineral deficiency. An older and wiser eater, Billings has expanded his diet to include 50 percent bean sprouts, 25 percent vegetables and 25 percent fruits - gaining 40 pounds in the process. A lot of raw fooders believe in treading lightly on the planet and insist that the diet represents a higher environmentalism. Don Weaver of Burlingame, co-author of a book, "The Survival of Civilization." An organic gardener who describes himself as an "environmental volunteer," Weaver said he'd been totally raw for 20 years. He acknowledged that a lot of raw fooders could end up feeling a little isolated. The San Francisco Living Foods Support Group holds monthly potlucks at Fort Mason. The group is sponsoring an all-day conference on raw food with lectures, "cooking" demonstrations and food samples June 1 at Fort Mason Center.
