HI EVERYONE

I WAS JUST WONDERING ARE THERE ANY PEOPLE OF GREEK BACKGROUND WHO ARE RAW FOODISTS ?

I TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ANCIENT GREEK DIET AND THE MODERN GREEK DIET IS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY! IT SADENS ME. I HOPE WHEN I LEARN MORE ABOUT RAW FOODISM MYSELF ( BECAUSE I HAVE JUST STARTED MY JOURNEY) THAT I CAN GET OVER THERE AND OPEN UP THESE PEOPLES MINDS IF NOBODY HAS DONE SO ALREADY!

THE BIGGEST ANICIENT BRAINS FOR EXAMPLE HIPPOCRATES AND PYTHAGORAS WERE RAW FOOD EATERS.

AFTER MANY YEARS OF EATING SEMI VEG AND WITH FOOD COMBINING WAYS I HAVE JUST STARTED EATING RAW.

BEING OF A GREEK CULTURAL BACKGROUND AND THE GREEK CULTURE VERY MUCH LINKS ITS CULTURE TO FOOD IE COOKED FOOD THATS WHY I AM LOOKING OUT FOR GREEKS TO SHARE ANY CULTURAL CONFLICTS .

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING ON THE NET FOR ANY GROUPS BUT HAVEN'T HAD ANY LUCK.

IF ANYBODY IS OF GREEK DECENT OR KNOWS OF ANY GREEKS EVERN IF THEY ARE JUST VEGETARIAN IF WOULD BE FANTASTIC TO LET ME KNOW!

THANKS FOLKS TAKE CARE

AS WE SAY IN GREEK MANY MANY KISSES "FILAKIA" TO ALL    !!!!!!!!!!

Item of interest?? :

My brother has just returned to Greece after visiting us for 3 weeks.  We hadn't seen him in 15 years.  Though we're anglo-saxons, he converted to Greek Orthodoxy and is a monk on Mount Athos Greece.
Though the monks there do eat fish, my brother Peter doesn't eat any foods of animal origin. 
After 15 years of eating Greek food - he's really 'into' homous (? spelling), tomatoes, olives, lentils, other legumes and...... salt.
He said though that the monks have wild grasses growing there which they enjoy eating at certain times of the year.  Longevity is common there.

Hi Sheryl

Yes it is nice! Its loverly I must say I am proud of my heritage.
I didntn't know raw in Greece was that big. I have found 2 girls that have their own websites over there one I bought her book www.therawgreek.com  ( thats Gina Brit /Grk I have her book ) and  www.omofagia.com ( Flora native athenian greek) .
If you have any other websites contacts let me know.
Also have you come across any other Ozzy/Greek raw foodists let me know too.

I wanted to go this summer ie our winter ( but cant get away from work) the village where my folks come from is sooo healthy pine trees everywhere no pollution  and there water from the spring it was the best cold like it was in the fridge. They are from the Peloponese past Corinth ( go you past that huge cannel that seperates) to get there.

Apparently I heard on the greek islands  the locals have to keep everything pristeen white and blue its law by the local councils.

Wsh I could just drop everything and get away over there evern for a weekend....
Aw well such is life.

I must start teaching you some el greko if and when you guys visit again    ( i am fluent is reading and writing)

Hi,
Gina Panayi here, The Raw Greek herself.  I just stumbled across this discussion group while searching for something else, and having read all the mentions of me i thought i should say hello.
Hello.
I just wanted to also say that raw food isn't really as huge here in Greece as i would have hoped, but there is a small community mostly in Athens but also a few rawfoodies scattered about the country.  There is hope for Greece after all. 
There have been a few Greek raw websites springing up over the past few month here are a couple that i know of:
www.rawgreece.com
www.bodytemple.gr
Anyway if anyone has any Q's about Greece give me a shout.
Lots of live
Gina
