A raw-food lifestyle does require common sense, for goodness' sake

It is a wonder raw foodists aren't more widely considered kooks when one sees articles such as this one about a woman named Naomie Harris, evidently a British actress. (I am not much of a movie-goer or TV-watcher so have not heard of Ms. Harris.)

The headline reads: "Harris Fell Ill On Raw Food Diet" (Contactmusic.com). Excerpt:

British actress NAOMIE HARRIS was diagnosed with anaemia after she embarked on an extreme raw food diet and tried to survive on uncooked carrots.

And the new diet to which she switched?

"I became so ill I was anaemic, so I just stopped that and became a total vitamin junkie. Just eat lots of vegetables, exercise and breathe."

Now there's a wise and balanced solution! Oh, dear. I hope no one imitates her nutritional choices.
