Using examples, analogies and thought-experiments, it reveals the dramatic inconsistency between what people say they believe about animals and how people actually treat them.

    In addition they explain why more and more people are being motivated to become vegans and discuss the consequences of their choice.

    This inspirational work was one of the most influential forces in moving me to a raw diet. Mr. Hovannessian had two children die because of the diet they consumed. He writes, "My children died of the gradual emaciation and wasting away of all their organs caused by unnatural feeding and poisonous medicines." All of this could have been prevented! One of the reasons that we continue to become sick is because society is addicted to cooked food. We cannot help but to crave the taste of cooked food. When food is cooked, the genetic make up of the food is compromised; therefore, the nutritional value is compromised. God showed us in Genesis 1:29, that all things are provided for us. Arshavir Hovannessian show us through his own tragic story and his subsequent research that by following his plan, we will lead a long life, free of diseases. My original copy of "Raw Eating" has dog-eared pages and has become quite tattered. I still refer to it often for inspiration and confirmation that the right diet is the cure for all diseases. I have tried for years to find Mr. Hovannessian to obtain more copies of his book. Unfortunately, all attempts have been unsuccesful. However, I found his mesage to be so necessary that we at Hallelujah Acres decided to reprint this classic. Raw-Eating was written 40 years ago. Imagine how our world would be today if everyone changed their vicious habits then. I encourage you to read this book from cover-to-cover and to pass it on to everyone you know. sread the message that you don't have to be sick! -- From Preface by Rev. George Malkus
