QuestionHi There,
I'm a producer for the Very Appetizing series with Kelly Choi on NYCLife: Ch25, and we're doing a special half hour on the Raw Food Diet/Lifestyle. We'd really like to talk with someone, and potentially interview them on how raw meat can be safely consumed in this diet and the benefits of eating it, and/or high meat. Could you recommend someone in the NYC area? We have already interviewed Carol Alt for this series, have filmed at a raw milk dairy, and profiled the raw restaurant Pure Food and Wine.
Thanks so much,
Leigh Devine

AnswerI'm afraid I live right across the Atlantic so don't know any notable raw-meat-eating gurus etc. in the NYC area, other than the amazing Carol Alt. There is, of course, Aajonus Vonderplanitz who is, unfortunately, mainly based in Los Angeles, though he also travels all over the USA to do workshops/consultations with large gatherings of Primal Dieters. He sometimes has a New York workshop for raw-meat-eaters in the area, so I don't know if he counts - his contact e-mail address is:-
[email protected] . Dr Mercola of mercola.com fame is a general alternative-health-medicine guru who has often recommended the eating of raw meat diets and himself eats 85% raw, last I checked, but he is mainly in Illinois, no idea if he travels to New York regularly. Both Aajonus and Mercola have done numerous TV and radio interviews in the past.
If you are not only looking for raw food gurus but also average citizens following a raw-meat diet lifestyle, then I would suggest registering on the rawpaleoforum website and making a general enquiry for NYC residents to come forward, and we moderators will encourage any NYCers to respond. I already know of one New Yorker who has starred in short TV documentaries and newspaper articles on the palaeolithic diet lifestyle in which he talked about eating raw meats and was even videoed eating raw meats in front of the camera. Unlike most of us, he doesn't mind gently cooking his meats but he eats raw meat when he hasn't the time, or just can't be bothered to cook etc. Heres's his website:-
