(An excerpt from an interview with Tehuti, president of the Vegetarian Society of Jamaica.)

 

  I have been a vegetarian for over twenty years. And for me it has been a more or less gradual process

  where I started by eliminating all meats except fish. I ate fish and dairy products for awhile and eliminated

  eggs. And then my next step of evolving on the evolutionary level was with the elimination of fish, which was

  then followed by dairy products. Then I explored veganism, noticing as I evolved from one stage to another,

  that mucus problems which I had been afflicted with as a youth very, very distinctly got less and less as I

  moved from meat-eater to vegetarian, except fish, to dairy products-type of vegetarian, which is lacto-

  vegetarian, to vegan. But even as a vegan I still had problems, still had some amount of mucus problems,

  albeit less than in the other stages. But having now moved into the raw food area now I noticed a total

  clearing of all mucus problems in my system. I first explored raw foodism approximately four years ago. And

  I have, time and time again, occasionally eaten cooked food but I've been primarily raw foodist. At one

  stage, for a period of three years, I ate nothing but absolutely living foods. And there's no question in my

  mind that the diet of the future, the eating pattern of the future, has got to be one that will focus on living

  foods simply because of how it revolutionizes your health and brings you back to yourself.
