Grains, physiology, meat /was Specific Questions

[Guest guest]

I don't know about the missing gizzard, but I used to eat raw oatmeal and the

gluten just fed my Candida and made me feel ill...while cooked wild rice, brown

rice and non gluten grains make me feel good if eaten with a large raw veggie

salad. I would think that eating uncooked hard raw grains would indeed require a

gizzard, LOL! I'm learning to soak and sprout grains and use the grain grasses,

too. Regarding the lack of a gizzard, and human/animal differences...the

vegetarian proponents say that since humans have a longer bowel passage than

other carnivores, that they were not meant to eat much meat... considering it

has to travel such a long time to digest, and chance possible putrefaction. But

I'm new to this list and I'm sure that discussion is old hash (pun intended ;-)

Although at present, I'm a vegetarian (again) I don't want to talk anyone out of

eating meat as I have on many occasions eaten meat. Raw meat? In Hawaii we

caught a 25O lb tuna and had sashimi, " cooked " in

lime/shoyu/garlic/ginger sauce (which " cooks " out most parasites and turns the

pink meat a whitish color).

I heard this reason once: We are not graineaters biologically. If we

where ment to eat grains we would have a gizzard like animals who do

eat raw grains.

 

Makes sense to me. I mean why should you *have* to cook food to eat it?

From my expierience grains need to be cooked.

 

Alought I'm curious about trying raw oatmeal.
