Why Ripe?

During my journey of experimenting and developing a raw/vegan/living food lifestyle, I realized that there were many people out there who adhere to these types of food plans, utilizing a variety of methods.  The definition of raw vs. vegan vs. living can be confusing and lets just say, some people are fanatical about it.  As soon as I mention to people that I'm practicing this lifestyle, they immediately ask exactly how I do it and what I eat.  So this is the beginning of me sharing my journey.  But I've chosen to call my lifestyle "Ripe" not raw or vegan because simply put, I don't want to debate the definitions or explain my choices to raw enthusiasts.  It's about much more than food choices, it's about a lifestyle.  And it's about incorporating a PRIMITIVE menu, in a MODERN world.  So RIPE it is ; )
