Generally, the higher the latitude, the higher the cooked-percentage of prehistoric peoples. But two million years is far too short a time for our basal metabolism to overcome the fundamentally insidious character of thermally denatured food-molecules, which when assimilated cause structural weakness, at the molecular level, of membranes and cytoskeleton. The effects of such poison go all the way down to the cellular level, impossible to forestall or ameliorate, except when the diet is at 100% raw. Then all the bad molecules eventually get replaced, some months later. Even a little bit of cooked food can slow down this replacement.<br><br>In regards to habitual preferences, the biggest determinant was recently shown to be what the mother ate during gestation and what the kid was fed in his early years. Those habits aren't unbreakable, however. I switched to 100% easily enough (though it was the second try), but then I always was a picky eater.<br><br>I'm curious to see if the greying of my hair stays halted where it was two years ago. Probably not indefinitely, but I'll take any little favor. I don't really know if I'll live any longer, once you factor out cancer, heart attacks, and strokes (which I expect to avoid entirely), but I bet that just the absence of the usual junk-diet must count for a lot. Moreover, the health potential of raw food is certainly reflected in the wonderful tastes, the instinctive control of quantity eaten (I lost 50 pounds), and my reduced need for sleep, as well as my greatly improved athletic conditioning.<br><br>As for 'feeling good', cooked food induces a condition of what lefties call 'false consciousness' (which they attribute ad hominem to anybody who disagrees with them). That is to say, the perceived goodness of cooked food is an illusion, a trick of bad habits and poisoned gustation. <br><br>The poisoned body, however, still tells the truth -- eating cooked food is actually a grim duty to ingest the consensus poisons. Watch them shovel down huge barely-chewed bites, hardly tasted as they're coated with taste-disguising condiments to hide that deathly essence, washed down with massive quantities of digestion-disrupting beverages to make up for insufficient saliva. Don't they get it? <br><br>The biggest physical lie of cooked food is the way cooking drives the best nutri-factors out into the air, creating olfactory super-stimuli that are a false promise of the goodness that is actually found only in UNcooked foods, inside of which those nutri-factors are left where they belong. Now that my body is cleaned out, I find that when I'm hungry a 'pleasant' cooking odor can have a very strong effect on my digestive system, causing the juices to pour out and my stomach to audibly grumble and contract, greatly intensifying the hunger-sensations. The few such times that I actually ate the odiferous items in an experimental vein, however, their dead taste (without condiments) was quite disappointing after the big olfactory come-on, so much so that I often spat it out. Talk about bait and switch -- the smells of life lead to the ingestion of death. I pity them all in the poisoned cellular misery of their ill-used bodies. (I just don't tell them that.)
