Ramai daripada kita tahu apa yang patut dimakan, tetapi tidak ramai yang sedar bahawa cara menyediakan makanan penting untuk mengekalkan khasiatnya agar sentiasa sihat sejahtera.

Dalam filem dokumentari Food Matters terbitan tahun 2008, Dr. Paul Kouchakoff dari Switzerland dipetik sebagai berkata, jika seseorang mengambil diet yang mengandungi lebih daripada 51 peratus makanan dimasak, badan akan bertindak balas kepada makanan seolah-olah diserang oleh organisma asing.

MBG Fruitshop has launched a community campaign to educate the public on eating raw fruits.

MBG managing director Adnan Lee said: “There are great foods that you can eat raw without worrying, like fruits which are among the simplest and tastiest forms of wholesome food items. You can start thinking of fruits as being a meal and not just for snacking or desserts.”

Back to basics: Indra and MBG's Thomas Lee appeal to everyone to include fruits in their daily diet.
