This past Sunday I came up with the wild idea of buying Kevin Gianni’s and David Wolfe’s new raw food program for one reader, so that he or she could try it out and report back on the results for the benefit of everyone here.
There was quite a little flurry of activity indeed! All in all, 8 people responded (you can see them here) — which was more than I was expecting.
To each of you who responded, I want to say thank you for taking a chance and sharing a bit of yourself. Each of the stories was moving and compelling. Truly each of you deserves to try it out. Though I have to choose a single one… And choose I did, as difficult as it was to select only one from all the fantastic comments.
I just found out about this new program created by well-known raw food authorities Kevin Gianni and David Wolfe. I also had a crazy idea — that involves me paying your way through the program! — so be sure to read through to the end.
Anyways, their web site begins like this:
If you’ve gained every pound back, here’s the best news of 2010…

Now, here’s my idea for how you can get it for free.
You see, before I recommend or endorse a product, I always buy it and try it myself first.
Only, there’s two obstacles preventing me from trying this new program. First, I just don’t have the time to spend on it right now. Second, I’m already fairly thin and I can’t really afford to lose any of my weight.
But, this situation can be YOUR gain!
I’m hoping you or one of my other beloved readers will be interested in trying it out and willing to report back to me in detail your experience and results with the program, so I can share with the rest of my readers.
So to be crystal clear, I have not tried this program so I am NOT endorsing it. That is why I’m looking for some help evaluating it.
Here’s exactly how it will work:
Read their product page here. Be sure to read it all the way through so you know what’s involved.
Does it sound interesting to you? If so, continue on to 3.
Do you agree to send me regular updates by email (say, weekly) about your experience with the program and the results you get? Do you also agree that I can share your updates on my blog or in emails to my readers? If so, continue on to 4.
Great! Leave a comment at the bottom of this post, saying you agree to share your experience and results, and why I should buy it for you.
On Wednesday, January 13, 2010 I’ll choose one person from among the commenters. My selection will be completely subjective, though it’ll be based on enthusiasm as well as other factors. My choice is final.
I will buy the program for the chosen individual. Any other expenses will be your responsibility. (In other words, I’m not offering to buy your food as well!)
As you can see by checking the price on the product page, what I’m proposing here is worth $97.
As my Mom has recently gotten into the raw food diet, for this past Mother’s Day I decided to order her “The Box” from raw food chef Matt Amsden’s RAWvolution.com.
The Box is basically a package of gourmet raw foods delivered to your door. It was $120 plus $30 for 2-day shipping to Arizona where my Mom lives. (RAWvolution is located in the Los Angeles area.) The package was large and hefty. At first I thought $30 for shipping was a bit steep, but after hearing the description of the box it may actually be a bargain. Definite “thud factor” there.
The box was insulated and included an ice pack to keep things cool. The food arrived on schedule and survived the trip well — nothing was spoiled, spilled, or squashed during the 2-day journey. I had ordered the May 11 menu, which included these items Read more »
In The China Study, father-and-son authors T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II overwhelm you with evidence upon evidence of the relationship between diet and health. A large portion of the book centers around a massive study the authors conducted in China that involved thousands of subjects and set out to find how diet and lifestyle influence cancer. The authors also discuss studies performed by many other researchers on the topics of various other serious diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes.
The information is presented in an accessible and understandable way. There is some technical jargon at times, but it doesn’t get in the way.
This review can be summed up in a single sentence Read more »
