Rawfood Leaders (in alphabetical order) We have made a list of all of the people who are actively promoting rawfoods in various ways. Any of these leaders are an excellent source for learning more about rawfoods and some can offer guidance and support on your journey. Feel free to contact anybody on this list.
Either by writing books, giving classes or lectures, being a voice in the community, creating a website, creating recipes, preparing meals for others, hosting potlucks, creating schools, creating a retail store or webstore, and many more ways, these special leaders are sharing the power of living foods.
Anyone can do what these people have accomplished, and we invite you to do something special to spread the rawfood lifestyle message. When people join together they become more powerful and their message is spread further! Do something special today!!!
If you know of a rawfood leader that is not listed here, please send us an email with their information and we will consider adding them to this resource list.
