- I’ve been studing Computer Science in UC San Diego for the last two years, and I’ll be graduating in 2010. I became a raw foodist in June of 06 after spending two weeks traveling through Europe. I was with a tour group, which forced me to eat lots of meats and white breads. Needless to say, by the end of the trip I felt horrible. When I got back home, I decided to try a raw food diet after having heard about it from several people at the local farmers market. After just about a week I could feel some dramatic changes in my body, and have stuck with it ever since. Experiencing the effects of a raw food diet (a diet which was condemned by my physician), I began to question many of the ideas and ideals I had been taught in school, and found myself learning more about myself and the world than I ever imagined. Soon I found myself trying all sorts of new things. For the last two years I’ve been practicing yoga, and attended a two week intensive course at an ashram in India during the summer of 08. Yoga has taught me as much about my body as becoming a raw foodist. Its one of the practices in my life that I enjoy the most and I really recommend it for anyone who’s interested. I’ve also just started producing a series of videos and posts on pranayama (one of the eight limbs of Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga). You can check them out here and here. Or head over to the Roshi’s YouTube page. I’ve also gotten really into rock climbing. There are several place to climb near UCSD and you’ll usually find me at one of them each weekend with at least one of my roommates. We all got into it together and after a year we still can’t get enough. You can check out some pictures of our adventures here. Lastly, as an effort to spread some of the knowledge I’ve learned across my campus, I joined the UCSD Food Co-op. We’re a homely little store smack dab in the center of the UCSD campus serving all vegetarian, vegan, and mostly organic food. We’ve got the greatest salad bar you could imagine, for the awesome price of just $5/lb. If you’re ever in town come by, and ask for me. I usually whip up some raw food goodies to sell in the store, so be sure to pick something up if you’re there.
