For me, not eating raw is a combination of a number of things. I mostly did ok at the time in terms of culture. There used to be a restaurant here that had an extensive raw menu so if I wanted to eat out, that was the place. The economy killed it, unfortunately. More, it is that raw is both labor-intensive and errand-intensive. You have to have fresh food and when I was eating raw, I hit Costco weekly and at least one other grocery store once a week. Then, prep was labor-intensive whether I was making a meal to be eaten right away or making something to be dehydrated for later. I just don't have enough spoons for those things to even be possible anymore. These days, I am fairly excited if I eat two meals in a day and it is a rare meal that I make from scratch. Frozen is my friend.
