Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hello, I have been wondering why among humans vegetarianism & especially raw veganism is so very rare, especially when viewed from a historical perspective. As far as I know, & this may be wrong, with the few exceptions of some Asian Indians, an indigenous culture in what is today Iran, & part of the time & places in medieval Europe, humans did not seem to be vegetarians. In looking at the Indians & peasant Europeans their dietary choices were dictated either by the avoidance of bad karma, or oppressive economics. Both of those groups cook(ed) their food & ate grain(s) or seeds. When given complete freedom humans appear to behaviourly, at least, prefer a diet based on animal flesh then strictly plants. Given how energized I begin to feel when on a raw vegan diet (hunger & weird dreams aside) would not a tribe eating such a diet be at significant advantage over their meat, or cooked plant eating counterparts? (David Wolfe referred to this group in Iran in his book Sun Food Diet Success System I do not remember which chapter) any ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" And then you asked for ideas. My idea is that owning animals is a sign of wealth and perhaps that is our clue. Humans " keeping up with the Joneses " at the expense of their health. -Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
