Is eating out socially with friends and family difficult/awkward?
It doesn’t have to be. One of the first times I went out with my family after changing to a raw food diet, I was concerned that there would be nothing for me to eat (we went to a local gourmet pizza place), or that I would be teased by those that didn’t understand my convictions. I simply asked the waitress for a green salad with lots of raw fruits and veggies. Not only was the restaurant very accommodating, but everyone at the table was impressed at how beautiful and delicious my meal was!
