Nudism and Raw Food in Andalusia

By , About.com GuideSeptember 13, 2008

Follow me on:

Here's one for the diary for next year - the International Raw Food Community at La Cascada in Ojen, near Malaga on the Costa del Sol, is hosting a festival this weekend to coincide with the full moon.

The International Raw Food Community is a group of crudivores (people who only eat raw food) and nudists. That is, a group of crudivores who are also nudists, not that there is one side of camp with nudists and the other with crudivores. Does that make them nudist crudivores or crudivore nudists? I don't know.

Anyway, the community, rather than being a closed elitist organization, shouts "come and visit us" on their website. You can find out more about the organization at their website: Nudist Crudivore Community on the Costa del Sol.

I've never been sure of 'back to our roots' eating as a lifestyle choice. As far as I understand it, the premise of crudism is that before man discovered fire, eating raw food was the only form of eating. And that by being old, this diet is somehow better for you.

Is this a logical conclusion? Before we discovered fire, humans only lived to about 30 years of age. Granted, our longer lifespans today are due to the discovery of better hygiene and medicine, but there is still no way of saying how pre-fire cavemen were healthier than we are today. And even if it was good for you to eat raw food for 30 years, does that make it better to eat raw food for 75 years? I'd like to see the evidence.

I´m currently living in Barcelona and I must admit in the beginning I was a bit flabbergasted by the many nudist people in Barcelona. Not only on the beaches but also in public places like shopping streets. After a while I found out Spain is home to one of the most tolerant nudism laws (you can walk almost everywhere in your birth day suit I you want).
Crazy to see!

It is wonderful to hear that there are societies where people have an appreciation for the natural human body still in existence. I would imagine that the people in Spain have a much healthier attitude toward their own bodies and are more tolerant of the bodies of others. Thankfully, there are still places where that has not been taken away yet. Here in the USA, I believe that we are so uptight about our bodies that it creates a strange neuroticism making many people feel shameful and obsessive about their image and how they look on the outside. Imagine appreciating and accepting what you have and feeling comfortable enough to bear it for anyone to see. Love yourself for all that you are, and others as well :)
