My Mango Has Roots

It all started when a half-joke of a challenge came to fruition.  For months, a longstanding discussion about a friend’s raw veganism led to the thought of doing a “raw food challenge.”  For a junk-food obsessed human being such as myself, the thought could be little more than a joke.  The mission: One week, all vegan, uncooked.  Without the gadgets and tools of most raw vegans, it would be an adventure to see how long I could manage to eat fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts exclusively.  It lasted two days.
