(PRWEB) March 27, 2004 --Susun Weed, author of four best-selling books, and founder of the Wise Woman Center, will be debating with Brigette Mars on the topic Optimum Nutrition: Cooked or Raw?"

We all want to feed our loved ones and ourselves well, so we search for the best quality foods we can acquire. Yet this is not enough. Even if we have found our way through the maze of WHAT we should eat, we have still to decide on HOW we should prepare it to get the most nutrition to nourish our health.

Some stress that foods untouched by fire are raw and more alive, therefore better able to feed the life of humans. They have opted not only for a raw diet, but one with no animal products, arguing this is not what humans are designed to eat.

Susun Weed is well studied in the most up to date scientific research and counters with an argument about the necessity to cook" vegetables to make the nutrition more available for human use.

While raw-foodists often argue that no animal cooks her food, Susun argues that no animal truly eats plant foods raw. This proves to be an interesting debate.

The debate will be held Friday, April 16, 2004 at 3pm at the Dairy Center for the Arts, in Boulder, CO.; and will be videotaped. It is preceded by a Healing Wise Gathering with Susun, from 12-1:30, at the Commons at the Boulder Co-op Market, 1904 Pearl St. Cost is $15.
