'Fast foods' are not just a 20th century thing. They have been around since before man was created. The original 'fast food' diet was fresh raw herbs, fruits and vegetables, nuts & grains. What's faster than peeling a banana and eating it, or eating some grapes, or strawberries or an apple.

We have no excuse for not eating right, because God made it easy for us from the beginning. The Bible says in Genesis 1:29 "And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.""

Fresh raw fruits and vegetables have live enzymes in them which help to heal, cleanse, & revitalize us. The live enzymes that are in the raw foods that we should consume every day are like soap to our insides. A day without some fresh raw foods is like a day without a bath or shower - if we go too many days everyone will know.

We need, along with all of the other things that we consume everyday, at least 5 to 9 servings of fresh raw fruits and vegetables everyday. Not to mention the 6 to 8 glasses of water that we need everyday (which we'll talk about in more detail later). Have you had yours today? Plan ahead and be prepared whether you go to school, work, or even the doctor's office. Bon appetite!
