A Month in the Raw was conceived at The Pinhook one Friday happy hour earlier this winter, when several science museum employees began brainstorming foodstuffs besides corn that they could eat – and only eat – for a painfully extended, yet humanely limited time period.
After discussions of beet-only (ugh) and dark chocolate-only (better, but still) diets, someone said the word “raw” and the planning began.
The bloggers – Erin, Elizabeth, Larry, Leiana and Beck – come from a smörgåsbord of gustatory backgrounds and will likely be experimenting these first 31 days of 2009 in different ways. So far we have all agreed upon the following:
- Erin (vegan) and Elizabeth (vegetarian) will be practicing a vegan raw diet.
- Larry, Leiana and Beck (all omnivores) will be practicing an omnivorous raw diet.
- No food will be heated more than 116° Fahrenheit.
- We will always be forthright with our thoughts and experiences.
We invite your comments and questions on this and every other page of the blog. Chop chop, chomp chomp!

I’m inspired by your bravery. Not inspired enough to join you fully, but I’m thinking of giving up fast food for the month in a token gesture.
