Mashed Sweet potato

I had heard about raw food diets and knew people like Woody Harrelson had been paracticing it for years. I had always assumed it was just lettice with raw carrots and broccoli on top. This is the reaction I get most often from friends: "I could not live on an apple for breakfast, carrots for lunch and lettice for dinner". So I am as surprised as anyone how it is easy to live on a raw food diet and never have the same meal twice. This recipe comes from many different web pages.

Mashed Sweet Potato:
1 peeled Sweet Potato (Cut into cubes)
3 gloves of garlic
some fresh cilantro or parsley or thyme or rosemary
salt and pepper to taste(if you like)

Blend items in a food processor until creamy.

Thats it. Some web pages say it is not good to eat sweet potatos raw but it is only bad if you ate them every day. Supposedly raw makes their nutrients harder to digest, but blending should free most nutrients. You can add walnuts, cinnamon etc to make a casserole. Suggestions are always welcomed and encouraged.
