Are you looking to cleanse your battered insides once and for all after scarfing down three Primanti’s-style sandwiches, a six-pack of Iron City beer, and two grande Starbucks coffees at that Super Bowl theme party this past weekend? If you’d rather not sign up for a high colonic or a session in the vibratory chair at Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s Sanitarium, head to downtown Washington’s Java Green restaurant this Saturday, February 11 at 1 p.m. for this month’s Northern Virginia Raw Food Meetup.
Organized by computer scientist Joseph Fleming, the Northern Virginia Raw Food Meetup Group is one of a several such groups in the D.C. area that promote a completely raw vegetarian fare as a healthier alternative to cooked foods. The group’s monthly meetings coincide with the monthly United Raw Food Meetup Day, which falls on the second Saturday of every month and sees sister meetings in San Diego, Baltimore, and even Melbourne, Australia.
