The web is such an inspiring place. I love that it\u2019s where we \u201cgo to work\u201d every day. I can\u2019t imagine a better job than the one I have right now.<\/p>\n

About a year and a half ago, we started using a web framework called Ruby on Rails<\/a>, and we fell in love. Since this discovery, we\u2019ve started a lot of projects using this framework, and we\u2019ve even completed a couple! Cuppin\u2019<\/a>, for example, as well as Ladybug<\/a>, which isn\u2019t publicly released yet but most of our web design clients use all the time. We also have some applications we\u2019ve been working on in our spare time, and we\u2019ve done some projects for clients using Rails as well.<\/p>\n

In short, it\u2019s been a Very Good Thing for us. It\u2019s a joy to use, and we can\u2019t imagine having accomplished these things without it. It\u2019s a vehicle for the things we\u2019re passionate about\u2026 and one that\u2019s fun to drive no less! Which is why we turn to Rails when we have another passion that we want to bring to the world. In this case, it\u2019s raw foods.<\/p>\n

What are raw foods?<\/strong> According to rawfoods.com<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Raw and Living Foods are foods that contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s not the whole story, but that gives you the idea. A raw foods diet is what most people would consider \u201cextremely restrictive.\u201d No meats, no dairy, and very few processed foods are allowed. So you\u2019re probably wondering why anybody in their right mind would choose this diet!<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, it\u2019s for the health benefits. We\u2019ve been on a partly raw foods diet for several months now, and I feel a good ten years younger. We\u2019ve both lost weight, have more energy, and many random health issues have simply vanished. It\u2019s such a healthy diet that we think everyone should give it a try.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to the problem. There\u2019s not a single good raw foods recipe sharing site out there. That\u2019s where we come in.<\/strong> We\u2019ve spent the last week of evenings (and sometimes afternoons) working on just such a site. It\u2019s not done yet, but we want to share some of our experiences building the site with you. So expect to hear more from us about this project over the coming days and weeks. We\u2019ll have a \u201crelease date\u201d for you real soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
