Christmas Cheap Gifts for Raw Foodists

How do we find cheap low-cost gifts for raw foodists? We could buy food gifts for raw foodists, but since one of the whole points of eating raw foods is to eat foods with no preservatives, our recipient would have to eat our raw food gift post-haste. And, what if everyone else also gave them raw food?

Or, if we aren't raw foodists ourselves, what if our friend or loved one responded by inviting us to share in the raw food gift that we just gave them? This might be okay, but obviously there is potential for a "yuck-yewwww" sort of experience.

Therefore, we offer not only five low-cost gift ideas for raw foodists, but five non-food raw foodists gifts on the cheap. As a bonus, we won't even water down our Fab Five by including a recipe book, because we figure that if anyone already has been forced to learn how to make food palatable, it's a raw foodist.

(1) A nice set of kitchen knives would make a fantastic cheap low-cost gift for our favorite conoisseur of raw foods. Cutting into rugged raw turnips, and so forth, must be murder for a kitchen knife. Plus, we've always had a yen to order the Showtime Knife Set from Ronco and their ultimate TV infomercial pitch man, Ron Popeil, and now we have an excuse. The price is $49.95 for the Showtime knives with the wood block, but only $29.95 for the knives alone. And since our raw foodist no doubt opposes the clear-cutting of forests, we have our reason not to pay $20 more for the wood block.

(2) As Ron Popeil himself would say on his infomercial, "But wait, there's more!" If raw food is dehydrated, is it still raw? This is a question that possibly may cause dissent even within the raw foodist community. If a raw foodist answers "yes," and agrees that dehydrated food is still raw, then the Ronco Food Dehydrator goes for $39.95.

(3) A juicer would make another great cheap low-cost gift for someone on a diet of eating raw foods. Can Ron Popeil come through yet again! Believe it or not, a Google search reveals the "Ronco Power Juicers" .... but that's the name not of a machine, but of a fantasy league football team. You see, in fantasy football leagues, teams choose goofy names. You're not familiar with fantasy football? Good for you. At any rate, Ronco doesn't even sell juicers. The prime TV infomercial maven for mail-order juicers is the eternal Jack LaLanne, age 95 at this writing and still working out more than any of us. However, the cheapest of the five Jack LaLanne Power Juicers is $99.80, so that's not exactly a low-cost raw foodist gift. We may want to opt for a cheapo hand-cranked juicer at our local warehouse outlet.

(4) There's a website that we all can find fairly easily, because it's the only website that sells buttons that say, "Half Woman, Half Raw Food." We can purchase this cheap low-cost raw foodist gift for a paltry $2.50. Or, if we know 100 female raw foodists, we can buy 100 buttons in bulk for a mere $200. No explanation is offered for the lack of a "Half Man, Half Raw Food" button.

(5) Give our raw foodist a gift certificate. The irony, as somebody like Andy Rooney or Bill Cosby might note, is, "Why does food with no preservatives added cost more than food with preservatives added?" But it does, and our raw foodist friend would welcome a little help at the cash register.
