Author Jeremy Safron has a unique philosophy on food: Don't cook it. Safron, a pioneer in the raw-food movement, is out with a new book, The Raw Truth, which outlines the benefits of raw food. He writes that vital enzymes in our food that are eliminated during processing and heating can aid in digestion and provide energy and nutrition.
作家Jeremy Safron在食物方面有著自己一套獨特的理論：吃生食。 Safron是吃生食運動的先鋒隊員，還出了一本書“生 理”，講訴了吃生食的好處。他在書中寫道：食物中的酶能夠幫助我們消化，給我們提供營養與能量。但這些酶卻消失在了我們烹飪加熱的過程中。

Safron has these tips for getting started on a raw diet:
如果你也想嘗試著開始吃生食，Safron給你一些小提示：

Re-create. Get creative: Instead of your favorite angel-hair pasta, try substituting shredded zucchini to go with your marinara sauce.
再創造。加點創意吧，不要再想著你最愛的天使面，試試看南瓜絲加番茄醬。

Have a raw party. Hosting a potluck is a great way to introduce your family and friends to the raw-food concept and try new dishes.
舉辦生食派對。舉辦一次生食派對，這可是絕佳的機會讓你的親朋好友們了解生食，并親自嘗試哦。

Take it slow. For those of us raised on meat and potatoes, transitioning to a 100% raw diet can take up to three years. Dehydrated foods — such as dried fruits and herbs, which allow for a greater intake of nutrients — can help to ease the transition.
慢慢來。 像我們這種大魚大肉慣了的人，要完全轉變成一個生食者，可能要用上3年的時間。脫水食物-----像堅果，脫水蔬菜，能給我們提供更豐富的營養，讓這個轉變過程輕松點兒。

Get closer to your food. The closer you are to the source of your food, the fresher and more vital it is. Try contacting local farmers, checking out a farmers market or even growing food in your own yard.
與食物更親密。 你與你的食物來源越接近，你吃下的食物也就越新鮮，越有營養。試著聯系你當地的農民伯伯，找兩家農批市場 或者干脆就在你自己的院子里種植食物吧！
