'The Food of Life Festy takes off at the Old Market in Hove on Sunday 4 June, showcasing the best of the raw food movement...speakers on the day will cover all aspects of the raw food lifestyle, which is fast gaining popularity for its health benefits, sustainability and simplicity. Forget complicated eating plans with banned foods, points, weights and measures - just stop cooking, these practitioners say, and watch your body change for the better.'

'Speakers include Brighton local Angela Stokes, 27, who went from a morbidly obese 20 stone to a fit and healthy 9st 9lbs by going raw, and raw food writer Shazzie, who is raising her daughter Evie on a completely raw diet.'

'Along with stalls galore, yoga classes and the opportunity to try some fine raw concoctions, the event promises to be a true taster of this upcoming lifestyle trend, and to prove once and for all that there's more to raw living than chomping on salad all day.'
