Break out the beer-can chicken. So much for raw food.
But, seriously, if we as North Americans knew more about food and nutrition, or if we actually cared, the average diet would include more of the typical raw food things you see. Salads, sprouts, seeds, nuts, raw veggies. Most people stop at a side of french fries and a leaf of iceburg lettuce for the burger.
