Just another professional skeptic

[Guest guest]

This site called repeatedly for scientific

studies without acknowledging that the so-called Food

Science establishment avoids raw foodism vs

cooking-addiction investigations. Do you know what percentage of

the pharmaceutical industry is devoted to medicine

that most raw foodists never need? <br><br>As for

flexibility, when I recently went out to a fancy Chinese

restaurant with my cooked-food wife and friends, I just

ordered the various stir-fry vegetables raw and tried

them all. The waiter told me the chef was dumbfounded:

" What's with this guy? He doesn't give us anything to

do! " I drank a glass of wine (all my talkative stomach

would allow) and a little chocolate cake. It was OK,

but dates and tangerines, or pears and bananas, are

better.<br><br>Imagine the entire stove industry being unnecessary,

including microwaves.<br><br>Imagine capitalistic ingenuity

going into getting raw food to everybody, a la

McDonalds.<br><br>As for the violence, read " War Before Civilization "

the myth of the peaceful savage " by Lawrence Keely. I

bet all that prehistoric murder started just after

Zog invented cooking at the campfire. The only tribes

Keely mentioned as being non-warlike were

(coincidentally, of course) those that ate mostly raw food (he

didn't notice, but I did).<br><br>As for feeling

superior to those miserable cookists, you're damn right I

do, I just don't tell them about it. All their colds

and flu, aches and pains, and fast-ageing

quick-sagging flesh, just evoke my pity. When they see me (at

55)fly up stairs while they pant, I don't need to say

anything. I got my fitness back, so can they.<br><br>The

last time I honestly tried cooked food was when I

screwed up trying to warm my wonderful yellowtail sashimi

( & avocado) and burnt it. It tasted so sad and dead

I nearly cried as I spit it out. What a stupid

thing to do to your food! How biologically stupid to

depend upon cooking to prepare your food!
