RawBC Mission
"To inform about the benefits of a raw, unprocessed plant-based
diet and offer support as people make healthy choices in that
direction."
The purposes of the Raw Food Society of British Columbia
are:
a) To inform, motivate and support people in a shift toward
an unprocessed raw food diet, based on fruits, vegetables,
nuts and seeds, with its benefits for physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual health, animals and the environment.
b) To connect the resources of existing raw food advocating
communities around British Columbia and to foster the growth
of new communities in the province.
c) To help create a sense of community among like-minded
health-conscious individuals in the province of British Columbia
by organizing informational seminars, conferences, potlucks,
various gatherings and the like.
d) To support raw foods research.
