Day 60 of Raw - Hanging Out


Oh boy!!! I'm looking forward to 2 1/2 whole days of just hanging out!!

This will the the first weekend I've had off since... ummm ... well I guess it's before Christmas. I'm looking forward to a couple of days of just hanging out :)
Oh I'm sure I'll do some work on the computer and in the house but I'm going to find me some good movies to watch too.

Hey, have you found the website www.thegardendiet.com yet? Awesome people, Jinjee and Storm. Doing some wonderful work for the raw food community. Their latest idea is to launch an ad campaign geared towards kids and encouraging them to go for fruit instead of junk. They've also designed some free posters you can print out to encourage YOUR FAMILY to eat more fruit : - )

From the Daily Raw Inspiration -

Would you like to launch a Guerrilla Advertising Campaign on your family? Did you know that seeing an appealing image of food more than three times makes most people crave that food? And if you look closely you'll see that most cooked food and junk food advertisements use water droplets throughout their ads to make your mouth water. But really its the water that is appealing to you. They are using your natural desire for water to sell you their dry packaged food!

Further, when advertising to children around half of the ads use pictures of fruit for the same purpose. They know that this is the food that children naturally crave. They use the real allure of fruit to seduce the children into eating junk. They even say "with real fruit flavor"! But why don't we ever see really appealing commercials for fruit? Well, there's not nearly as much money in fruit as in packaged foods. And you can't patent a fruit.

So we've come up with a new project for our Take A Fruit Break Campaign that will allow you to take matters in to your own hands and compete with the billion-dollar junk food advertisers! We've uploaded a series of beautiful posters of fruit that you can download for free and put up in your house, your kitchen, your school, your office, your church, your community centers, and everywhere else where you and your children can see them and re-program your natural desire to eat and drink the healthiest food known to man! By putting up mouthwatering fruit pictures where we can see them several times an hour we can counter-act the hundreds of junk food images that bombard our senses daily. We have six posters so far and we hope to grow this project and eventually have hundreds of gorgeous pictures of lovely fruits of all kinds by many different photographers. If you would like to contribute your own fruit photos, artwork, or videos we will put them on the site with a link to your homepage!You can download our free fruit posters at http://www.TakeAFruitBreak.com/psas
