The superlatively captivating, one-and-only Bif Naked has been a superstar rock and roll icon, performer, diva, composer, acclaimed actress, sought-after voice-over artist, gifted poet / writer, and even cartoonist(!) for years. But, did you know she’s also a raw vegan?!

Early in 2009, I remember reading about her breast cancer diagnosis. The story both intrigued and haunted the raw world:  How could a raw foodie get cancer?! We’re supposed to be impervious to such things, right?!

Well, I knew that I had to explore this further at some point, as the topic has come up several times in conversations I’ve had with raw foodists around the world. Anyone can speculate, but I really wanted to hear Bif’s thoughts directly. So, I rung her up and we had a long (40-minute), very candid talk about raw veganism, cancer, music, spirituality, tattoos, and a bunch of other really fascinating stuff.  She’s amazing – and we’re truly grateful to have had the opportunity to chat with her — so do check out this super audio interview right now, below!
