Healthy Love Bites

Recalling the days when homo-sapiens didn’t know what was fire. The time when food was not cook. Meat were directly dug and eaten raw in the mouth of mankind.

Then, came fire. Created during the 400, 000 BCE era, humans started cooking their food and it seems that cooked food evolved from the raw food concept.

So, studying back the history of raw food. Slyvester Graham (1794 – 1851) a health advocate in the 19^th century started studying raw food diet which was deemed a nutritious way of living. This study was constantly brought up by firm believers of the raw – semi food diet citizens like Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (1852 – 1943) who lived mostly on apples and nuts. Does his name sound familiar? He’s our friendly Kellogg cereal creator.

Even the Native American tribes living around the rural areas of the United States were surviving on raw, uncooked foods and they often feast on acorns that were grounded into fine powder or made into paste eaten together with nuts and dried salmon .

Modern raw food movement in the Unites States was brought about by fellow German raw foodists who then lived in Southern California. These raw foodists involve the likes of Arnold Ehret (writer of many raw food and fasting books), Dr. Carl Schultz (pioneer in naturopathic medicine) and fruitarian farmer cum philosopher Bill Pester.

A restaurant specially dealing with raw food was the first ever opened in the United States year 1917 named Euthropheon (means ‘Good Nourishment’ in Greek). People seemed to like the restaurant and were very much educated about the importance of raw food as their business ran for around 25 years.

And, their legacy lives on with us as raw food movement continues to remain strong as off today .

Will update you more on raw food diets in posts to come.

A remake of the classic Death Race 2000 released in 1975. The first video game to contribute protest and displeasure among citizens of the United States.

33 years later, Death Race was once again played on the silver screen which had a casts like Jason Statham who once played alongside Jet Li in the movie ‘War‘ and as a solo hero in ‘The Transporter‘. Other characters were played by Tyrese Gibson (2 Fast 2 Furious), Joan Allen (The Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum) and Natalie Martinez a.k.a the spokesmodel for JLO brand.

Let me tell you abit about the story:

It’s basically about the downfall of the United States economy, where Jensen Ames (played by Jason Statham) had lost his job after his company was declared bankrupt but matters took for the worst when Jensen was framed for the murder of his wife.

Brought to prison and was given a chance by the warden, Hennessey (played by Joan Allen) to free himself of his jail term by representing a cult hero, Frankenstein who was dead from the injuries suffered from Death Race. A boggling car race against the vicious inmates through 3 stages and highly anticipated by the society who seems to enjoy this new car craze. Since Frankenstein wore a mask to hide his hideous face from people, Jensen was asked to put on the mask and race as Frankenstein.

The benefit? The winner of the race will be one step closer to freedom and it will be given when the racer wins 5 races. Frankenstein was a 4 time champion before his death so Jensen has to only win once more to get his freedom. Since Jensen is also known to be fabulous behind the wheels, it can’t be that simple. Can it?

If you wanna know what happened, have a watch. If you are expecting to see beautiful cars racing through the tracks, let me tell you first. No such things here. You most probably be seeing lots of gore from the fully weaponized cars with machine guns, missles, napalms and others.

It’s like a Mario Kart game come to life where the cars will go through a panel on the floor to activate its weapon. Overall, my overall ratings would be a 7/10.

If you watched it, tell me what you think, k?

Cheers,
