Title: Hello everyone
Post by: Funky Raw Rob on April 20, 2012, 04:09:32 pm
Hi
Many years ago I started out on the raw food path, starting as a raw vegan, then progressing to raw vegetarian and then to omnivore. It was a Weston Price conference that I went to that got me to start eating meat again. I currently eat fish raw, along with a little bit of cooked meat - at some point I will try raw meat!
For about 6 years, I have been running a raw food business and publishing a raw food magazine, Funky Raw. The magazine covers all aspects of the raw food movement, but lacking is raw paleo. So I'm here to see if any of you more experienced raw paleo dieters are up for writing an article/articles for the magazine? At the moment, there is no payment to any of the authors, still a small magazine, but you do get a free copy of the magazine, plus a 10% discount at the Funky Raw shop.
I guess as I'm new here I can't post links, so if anyone is interested you can email me at magazine@funkyraw.com
cheers, Rob

I think it's OK to post links, it's just not allowed for those with only a very few posts to have a signature. This is solely to prevent spammers from annoying us.
I'm interested in writing an article or two. Not sure if I'm that good a writer, though.

Hello Rob,
A massive welcome to you... yours has been a similar path to mine (and I think a few others at that). I too went through a vegan phase, and found that raw foods were always best for me, however something still wasn't right, which brought me to where I am now.
You say you are from Funky Raw?! I have been ordering masses of honey from there for a while now! ... I absolutely love it, fantastic stuff :D

Hi Tyler Great, just try writing something and see what happens. I'm happy to edit it, and give suggestions for better ways of writing. (Not that I'm the best writer in the world, just that I ended up publishing a magazine so had to learn!)
Ok, I'll try the link then, for anyone interested in writing for the magazine, there is more info here: http://www.funkyraw.com/magazine/contributing.php (http://www.funkyraw.com/magazine/contributing.php)
Hi Isthmus
Yes, there seems to be a lot of ex-vegans around! It was great to start with, but really didn't work for me for the long term. Glad you like our honey! I love honey, and the stuff we sell is some of the best I've ever tasted, and the same with the pollen...
Rob

Last night, I ate raw chicken liver for the first time ever! I marinated it in lemon juice for 2 hours before eating. Can't believe I finally did it. Wasn't that hard, I've just been afraid of raw meat due to societies general fears around it. Rob
