Newbe - 3 Questions?
http://www.living-foods.com/index.shtml
Raw foods are better than cooked foods? (Address above) Rince can foods (fruits and vegies only) are OK? I'm by myself, so how about a food saver, so I don't spend 3 hours a day in the kitchen? Richard |

A lot of the claims by raw food faddists are wildly exaggerated, misleading, or simply false. Here are a couple links to help you sort through pseudo-science and myths spread by pro-raw faddists: http://www.beyondveg.com/billings-t/...alism-1a.shtml http://www.beyondveg.com/billings-t/...myths-1a.shtml > Rince can foods (fruits and vegies only) are OK? Some canned foods are more nutritious than fresh. I personally prefer the texture of fresh vegetables, but that's an aesthetic rather than nutritional consideration. Nutritionally, there is very little difference despite the propaganda of the raw faddists. Their chief objection to canned foods is that the processing involves cooking them. http://www.kdhnews.com/taste_22603.html http://tinyurl.com/2q95u http://www.cannedfood.org/whatsnew/m...settsstudy.htm etc. > I'm by myself, so how about a food saver, so I don't spend 3 hours a day in > the kitchen? Try eating at salad bars for your occasional raw meals. You can continue to eat cooked foods and remain very healthy. |

Still no takers (or is it givers?) to give you a lot of money so you can slack off and write a book? > The most important thing to understand about raw food is that our > species, as did all others on this little mudball, evolved on totally raw > food, Where would we be if we hadn't started cooking our foods and adding other foods beyond raw fruit? Your argument isn't evolutionary, it's regressive. We're not knuckle-dragging quadripeds (well, you might be), we're _Homo sapiens sapiens_. > and that cooking is a rather recent cultural fad Only a few millenia old. Yeah, it's a fad. It also helped us develop cognitively (excepting yourself again, "naturally") to where we are now. > that has led directly > to the wide-spread consumption of unhealthy items that simply could not be > eaten, unless cooked: flesh, grains and grain products, tough vegetables, > dried beans/legumes, woody roots, ... Fresh grains can be eaten raw. I guess a city slicker like you wouldn't know that. Evolutionary benefits of those foods you think are "bad": http://tinyurl.com/i1ev BTW, I thought you killfiled me. |
