8 eating out

and raw entertaining: where, when, how, and with whom to dine

You can’t stick to a hectic schedule and lead a professional life and only eat at raw restaurants. There are too few of them. Besides, if you ate only with other raw foodists you’d be dining alone five nights a week. In this chapter I’d like to show you how you can eat raw and still have a social life like anyone else. That may mean eating at places that are not necessarily known for their raw-food menu. It includes sharing raw food with your friends and family on your own turf. And if you have a raw restaurant nearby, I’d like to help make it easy for you to take people there, to introduce them to the joys and pleasures of eating raw and maybe ease them into a healthier, raw-food lifestyle.

I can already imagine your question: if I eat only raw food—except, of course, for the occasional guilty cooked food—how can I possibly go out and have dinner with friends who eat everything cooked?

Let me assure you that you won’t need to make everyone else feel uncomfortable over your eating raw. It’s true, when word gets around some people you know and cherish may whisper, “Maybe we shouldn’t invite Carol because I hear she doesn’t eat cooked food anymore.” Just remember, they’re not trying to snub you. I think their real intention is to show respect. So don’t take it personally if you find yourself somehow overlooked for a dinner invitation. What’s most important is for you to know that there’s no need to let raw food curtail your relationships and activities. And the quicker you learn how to eat raw wherever you are, the sooner your friends will be surprised at how easy it is for you to blend in now the same way you always did before. Once again you’ll be invited everywhere.
