Raw Foods Exposition 2001
June 18-24 Portland, Oregon

I again want to share with you the value of raw living natural organic foods.  The subject is awesome.  We did not evolve on cooked foods. Revere Ware did not exist in the days of Jesus and Buddha.  Most of their foods were raw and fresh.  If you wish optimal health you MUST include a LARGE percentage of raw foods in your daily diet. This Raw Foods group is the main one in the world on this subject.  

I invite you to pay special attention to names like Dave Klein, Dr. J. Buche, Habib Bailey, David Wolf, Steve Arlin, me too of course and Dr. Gabriel Cousens.  You will find them intelligent, inspired, zealous, sometimes overwhelming, loving, cheerful, ENERGETIC, and downright helpful. 

They are living their bliss.   They are saving lives. They have more energy than any group I have ever encountered. They are very, very  special to me.  

OREGON RAW FOODS EXPO - PORTLAND

Subject Robert Cohen's Message about the 2001 International Raw Foods Festival

Dear Friends,

Spring rolls made with minced ginger, jalapeno pepper, mint leaves, and golden miso. Guacamole with Celtic sea salt, fresh lime juice, and cilantro. Cashew-fudge cookies with freshly grated coconut, carob, and maple syrup. Bread made from sprouted spelt, mango, and wheat berries. Meat loaf from soaked sunflower seeds and portabello mushrooms, and pasta marinara with julienne zucchinis and squash. Nothing cooked. Everything raw.

Funny thing about diets of the moment. Having once been a meat eating, ice cream slurper, I own perspectives of eating the right way, and the wrong way.

Meat eaters "know" that saturated animal fat combined with animal cholesterol does not do the body any good. Meat eaters also "know" that the higher up one eats on the food chain, the more concentrated man's chemicals become in human flesh. Women's breasts and men's prostates become toxic dump sites for chemicals approved by America's regulatory agencies.

Meat eaters also "know" that vegetarianism is a heck of a lot healthier than meat eating. Problem is, meat tastes so good. Problem is, vegetables are boring. Or so meat eaters believe.

With each level, there is an awareness and a prejudice applied to the next level. Meat eaters "know" that vegetarian diets provide little taste and variety. Vegetarians apply the same flawed logic to Vegan diets. Vegetarians "know" that Vegan is healthier. Few vegetarians want to give up their comfort foods, milk and dairy products.

The rewards of becoming Vegan include enormous burst of self awareness. One recognizes the ill effects caused by the Standard American Diet (S.A.D. Diet).

Vegans "know" that raw diets represent the next level, but resist becoming raw foodists with the same ignorance that meat eaters apply towards vegetarians.

THE RAW FOOD FESTIVAL

For me, the week of June 18-24 will be an educational experience. I'll be living and eating raw foods with the movement's masters.

Many people call Oregon the most beautiful of America's 50 states. The city of Portland (population 1.8 million) is just 78 miles from the Pacific Ocean, and 65 miles from an enormous glacier, Mount Hood. This spectacular mountain, the tallest in Oregon's Cascade range, crowns the city's skyline. I'll be in Portland from June 18-24 enjoying "America's RAW-FOODS festival."

I've heard such wonderful things about Portland. Imagine a city housing America's largest book store, Powells (occupying an entire city block, and having more than one million volumes for sale). What does this say about the psyche and spirit of a city? This book store boasts the world's only three-door elevator!

Portland has been called "Münich on the Willamette." More than 25 unique breweries have taken advantage of Portland's crystal clean glacial water supply. Portland offers a community spirit rarely seen in large cities, with attractions such as the 24 hour Church of Elvis, and America's smallest park (24 inches in size). There are an additional 5,000 acres of parks within the city.

Here is information about the festival.

Please consider joining me!

AUTHOR OF MILK - THE DEADLY POISON

Robert Cohen, who holds a degree in psychoneuroendocrinology, performed research in the 1970's on the hormonal effects on the brain and behavior. Twenty-five years later, this father of three became concerned about the most controversial drug approval in FDA history, the genetically approved hormone that is now in our milk supply. Along the way, Cohen discovered that milk is implicated in causing breast cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, and chronic childhood illnesses. Cohen's skills as a researcher, and his passion for the safety of his family, lead to his single-minded pursuit to expose the truth about milk. To this end, Cohen founded and is executive director of America's Dairy Education Board, a group of nationally prominent doctors dedicated to dispelling the myth that milk is nature's perfect food. Cohen recently completed a 205-day fast (the last 30 of which were water only) to protest the use of Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone.

Here is one person's review of the book "Milk The Deadly Poison"

"This book is an eye-opener. Robert Cohen explains in "layman-ese" why humans have no real need for cow's milk. He also demonstrates that the people in power in our government are more interested in lining their pockets than they are in our health. The conflicts of interest and levels of corruption within the FDA and USDA are frightening. I already had some education in nutrition and had my doubts about dairy products, but this book has raised another concern....I now think twice about ANY label that I read or about any "claims" made by our government or the mainstream media. Even those who are sucked in by the dairy industry advertising and are skeptical of dairy "critics" will be convinced with the overwhelming evidence that Robert Cohen presents. He is very thorough and has the documents and references to back himself up. Anyone who has a real interest in being healthy should read this book." - Kelley from Blue Springs, MO
