BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters eat only raw foods for their next meal, we'll save almost enough energy to power two homes for a year.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

One of humanity's earliest known ancestors, Lucy, is currently on her first-ever U.S. museum tour, but she's banned from the Smithsonian (a protest by museum officials, who say her remains are too fragile to travel).

What if the cavemen didn't discover fire?

The Bite

We might be a lot healthier. Cooking your food at temps above 116 degrees depletes nutrients and uses more energy. Eating more raw foods boosts your health and saves energy - no loincloth required.

 

The Benefits

 

Getting your nutrients. One study found that stove-cooked spinach lost 77% of its folate; another study found that broccoli lost up to 97% of its antioxidants when nuked in the microwave.

Better digestion. Your body has to use its own metabolic enzymes to digest food that's cooked above the 116-degrees mark, which requires energy and can leave you feeling sluggish.

Tasty dishes. Nope, you're not relegated to eating only cold veggie sticks - raw foodies can nosh on delectables like chocolate truffles and pumpkin butter.

 

Personally Speaking

Heather'd be all over the raw food diet if corndogs counted.
