I've never been tempted after seeing about five or six of my friends try it and none of them really getting much from it. I remember some dreadful dinners, too--I've been meaning to try out Saf restaurant in Shoreditch, which does a lot of raw food, so it is clearly possible to make delicious raw food, but I don't think any of my friends cracked that one.
But I suppose the main reason why I never even tried it was because of some raw fooders who came to a London Vegans meeting once and showed off a fanzine that they had made. It featured as a 'Page Three girl' a photo of a naked obese woman, and they were absolutely scathing and viciously offensive about obese people. The meeting was completely horrified and I can't imagine them having won anyone over that evening. People go raw for a lot of commendable reasons, but these people only came over as body fascists. Not that that should put me off so much, but I'm quite happy eating cooked food and I love cooking.
