I've heard about both and after some research, am still not entirely sure of the difference.
Deegarry- thanks for the link. How do you feel about irradiated foods? Meaning, are they not part of a raw-vegan diet?

A vegan would eat any non animal product cooked. A raw vegan consumes only raw foods that contain all of the enzymes necessary for the food to digest itself, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, sprouts, etc.all in uncooked form. I eat about 80 percent raw, 20 percent lightly cooked. I feel much better when I eat mostly raw.

Raw-vegans do not cook their food. They primarily eat only raw vegtables. Doctors have declared this one of the healthiest but hardest to sustain diets. Vegans don't eat anything from animals but they will still cook their food.
