Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Paul's dismissiveness aside, there are those who have done very well on a 100% raw vegan food diet. Take a look at an actual 100% raw fooder, Angela Stokes: http://www.rawreform.com/ Her story is pretty impressive. tev --- Paul Russell <prussell wrote: > On 10 May 2007, at 21:39, Alison Goodyer wrote: > > > I guess following a raw vegan diet for a bit will > rule > > out the bar of Green and Black > > chocolate I just bought though LOL !! > > There's some very good raw vegan chocolate on the > market these days - > a bit pricy though. > > Also it's probably a good idea to be a little > skeptical about all the > hype surrounding raw diets these days.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I dare say there is anecdotal evidence that a raw food diet has helped some people. But it's a big leap from there to the presumption that a 100% raw food diet is appropriate, healthy or sustainable for people in general.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 No other animal on earth cooks its food. It is assumed that cooking food occurred simultaneously with meat eating (cooking meat in fire to kill bacteria, etc.). There are many people testifying to their success as 100% raw fooders. It is not as big a leap as you imply, Paul. tev --- Paul Russell <prussell wrote: > I dare say there is anecdotal evidence that a raw > food diet has > helped some people.

There were an awful lot of people who testified to the success of the Atkins Diet too. Would you accept all that anecdotal evidence as uncritically as you seem to do with raw foodism ?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hi Tev, I've heard it said that man is the only cookivore on the planet. Which is to say that although, in our past, we have been both herbivore and omnivore, we are now evolved to exist on a cooked diet. This is not, of course, grounds to dismiss a raw food diet, any more than the fact that our bodies can digest meat means I believe we should do so. (Anecdotally, I've friends who thrive on a raw food diet, and others who, frankly, look as if they are about to keel over!) But to look to our species' ancestry as a guide to what we should eat now is a somewhat specious (grin) argument.
