Our own genetic mutations have adapted to many things unnatural.

I have seen certain people suffer severely because of vegetarianism, I was one of them. Many protein type metabolisms need animal protein as a source of fuel. To say that veganism or vegetarianism is natural adaptation doesn’t mean that people are healthier for doing it. A diet low in saturated fat is more harmful than one high in saturated fat.

The incidence of disease in the United States is certainly higher because people were told to stop using butter and lard and start using crisco, vegetable shortenings, margarine and other garbage.

The majority of vegetarians I know are not healthy. Vegetarians usually suffer from poor digestion, poor protein synthesis, copper toxicity due to low zinc absorption and low hydrochloric acid levels. I have seen through blood analysis that many vegans are anemic and deficient in
B-12 and Iron. Vegetarians would do better by eating a couple of raw eggs per day with coconut oil. Vegetarianism is a fad that is now a major industry with more hype than anything.

I do know that some raw foodies include raw milk and meat.. do u? do u cure the meat? dehydrate? Interesting.

My own feeling is that those ancestors needed the meat, and maybe in certain parts of the world people still do. I don’t think I need it. The thought of eating another animal disgusts me in many ways. However, I see it as a personal choice and don’t knock others for doing it. To me, this may be something that phases out as we evolve and more food becomes available to us, and we learn how to best consume that food for full nutrition.

When food is cooked above certain temperatures (usually 95-118F) all enzymes are destroyed and nutrients are destroyed up to 50-75 percent. This means that the body must use its own reserve of digestive enzymes to assimilate what it can from the food. This is especially true for animal proteins. The pancreas must use massive amounts of enzymes to digest the cooked meat, which is also carcinogenic and toxic to the liver. In its raw form meat contains the full spectrum of enzymes needed for digestion including proteases and lipases.

Our ancestors ate their meat raw. The healthiest people discovered by Weston A. Price were those who consumed mostly vegetables, raw meat and raw dairy. One of the greatest books on nutrition that was ever written is “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” by Weston A. Price. In it he closely examines the diets of primitive peoples from around the world and reveals the secrets of their health. Raw animal fat was a major part of their life!

Rawk On!
