I keep seeing honey in some of the recipes and there seems to be less concern about animals then purifying one self aka clense. Could someone explain a bit of the culture to me or this lifestyle.

Thanks

Imho, many raw foodists are vegans for whom the ethical aspect of veganism (animal rights) was more important before, than they took a step further mainly for health. But of course it varies from a person to another. Raw veganism can also be good for the environment, by buying only whole foods with no package, boxes, plastic, etc.

Yes, honey in many raw vegan recipes, again it depends for each person, some don't consume honey. Personally, I don't aprove honey consumption, I don't see what bee sputum got to do in a vegan diet.

yeah I agree about the bee thing

Well if someone is just a raw foodist, it doesn't tell you anything about their ethics necessarily, it's a health or spiritual choice. But you can get vegans who are also raw foodists - they follow an ethical lifestyle, but also have chosen to eat raw foods (for either health or spiritual reasons). That's my understanding anyway

Yeah some raw vegans eat pineapples in Alaska but some other raw vegans stick only to local and season foods. Just like many North American vegans on a cooked diet often drink tea or eat rice that comes from China.
