Sarah Berry leaves her scepticism, and cooked food, on the shelf and embarks on a vegan challenge.

I might be a vegetarian and a hippie at heart, but I've always had a completely unreasonable and largely unfounded prejudice towards veganism and vegan restaurants. I put it down to the mock-meat movement which, really, was just a bit creepy. And I, like many, associate veganism with being a bit bland and far too austere for my epicurean tastes.

So, while I might seem like a good candidate for a raw-food veganism challenge, I start a serious sceptic.

But I have been chatting with Maz Pugoy, who runs Sadhana Kitchen, a raw, vegan cafe in Newtown. She says raw food can be as rich and rewarding as ''normal'' food.

That's a big call and I wonder whether all the fermented cabbage has gone to her head.

Pugoy went raw more than two years ago and says it brought many positive changes, ''from increased energy levels to general feelings of happiness''.

My curiosity has been sparked so she sends me a 10-day plan complete with recipes, explanations and reminders of why I am doing this. She assures me raw can be sexy and sustainable. I am not so sure, but I am glad to see none of the recipes involves bogus beef.

So, along with cheese and many of my other favourite foods, I shelve my scepticism and embark on a two-week challenge to find out what raw foodism is all about, how on earth you eat out and whether it does make a difference.

Los Angeles, Jan 19 (IANS): Actress Jessica Biel, who is expecting her first child with Justin Timberlake, is sourcing organic produce from local farms to maintain a balanced diet.

"She has been having deliveries from local farms so she can eat fresh organic produce and be as healthy as possible throughout the pregnancy," eonline.com quoted a source as saying.

"Being healthy is really important to her. She is very aware of the importance of eating well. She wants to have the best pregnancy possible," added the source.

The source also shared that Biel is in her third trimester now and she's "feeling good".

"She has stayed active during her pregnancy and tried to get in as much exercise as possible.

"She loves going hiking or on walks. She also does yoga at home and light stretching. She has spent a lot of time at home and plans to slow down on travelling in the next two months...she's embraced being a homebody and taking it easy," added the source.

Lahore has also recently caught onto the fad of eating right, with many experts suggesting organically grown and produced ingredients as a necessity to good health.

However, finding organic food cultivated without the use of chemical fertiliser, pesticides and/or other artificial substances can be a mission if you dont know where to look.

Here is a list of places where you can buy organic foods in Lahore:

Farmers markets are some of the best places to find home-grown and organic foods especially if you are looking for variety. The Haryali Market and the Khalis Food Market are good places to start.

The (now postponed) Shaukat Khanum Fitness Fiesta promises to host a farmers market as well. Meanwhile, the Khalis Food Market is scheduled for February 1, 2015.

Some places where organic foods are readily available are Al-Fatah, Jalal Sons, METRO, Hyperstar, Pioneer, and the likes. However, be cautious that you will have to be careful about what you pick out. A brand that is available and committed to organic foods is Daali Earth Foods and which stocks in almost all of the above mentioned stores.
