Some raw food eaters do go overboard with their eating, but mist are quite healthy. I eat about 90% raw food and I feel great. I have muscle too because I make sure to eat raw foods that contain protien
well i really think we were not to eat the fat cuz the fat is what clogs the arteries in our bodies..we need some fat but not too much...I think the key has always been eat in moderation..drink in moderation as well...even in the bible they talked of drinking wine and making vineyards but said to stay away from strong drink and drunkardness..why? perhaps damaging the liver and alcoholism...God knows best what we need, He made a great planet but we are messing it up aren't we?
I will say one thing for those green smoothies..the days i do drink them i do feel better in my joints..alot less pain..sometimes i just cant make myself drink one first thing when i wake up tho..but im trying.
@greentolean: thats probably true, but i guess i could raise me an organic cow but i cant see me running out there w/my cleaver hacking it to bits, lol..and water is toxic, air is toxic, about everything now is toxic..u just have to do the best u can do and i pray over my food which biblically is suppose to cleanse it...people are still living to 100 that are not vegetarians or living organically so i guess alot is immune system and/or genetics...thanks for your comment.
No, though that can be a 'hazy' recommendation. It's about respectful awareness of what the body more or less needs as indicated by 'appropriate' desire, and which can be shown by physical indications by the body. It's a diverse issue, numerous conditional and nuanced answers. I understand your points too. Quantity, balance, and quality are all important factors in this.
I dont know where u all get your statistics on people before stoneage?? eating raw food..because u cant get any further back than adam and eve which it talks of their sons raising meat and farming..so meat eating was around then as well..they also had fire..eating raw veggies is great, nothing wrong w/that but human beings have always been omnivores eating both plant and animal protein including dairy..still many live to100 yrs old..but I agree modern day additives & processing are harming us.
thirdly, only within the last few hundred years have such extremely degenerated foodstuffs such as white flour and refined sugar reached the masses. DO SOME RESEARCH dmrObinson
secondly, only within the past few thousand years have cooked foods comprised such a large percentage of the human diet, which is due to the proliferation of technology and the growth of civilization.
what did man do before he had the capacity to make fire (before the stone age 500,000 years ago)? 500,000 is nothing compared with the 1,500,000,000 years during which humanity and its genetic forebears lived and developed exclusively on raw food.
The evolution of using cooked food has already occcured many hundreds of thousands or at least many tens of thousands of years ago. The raw vegan humans are the exceptions of which more evolution would have to occur.
I'd like to remind you that even chimpanzees which eat mostly plants/leaves will also eat meat and kill monkeys of other tribes and eat them...and man has always had fire..Adam and Eve made alters to sacrifice lambs using fire after the fall in Eden...Their sons used fire to cook...but u all are absolutely right on all the pollution, toxins, overuse of antibiotics, hormones, preservatives, etc. in our foods..what we need to do is go back to the land & raise & grow our own & not depend on gov't.
Cooking breaks down fibers and increases the availability of nutrients (but over-cooking also destroys some nutrients). No known indigenous diet is all-raw (although most include some raw foods); even tropical peoples cook some of their foods. Cooking food dates back about 200,000 years, meaning there is time for us to have adapted to it. Coming off a typical American diet of junk food you're likely to see quick results, but raw-food dieters face long-term health problems.
Please cite statistics for long-term health problems raw foodists face. You know, like, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and degenerative joint disorders for those that eat cooked. Thanks.
@tamcom72, eating cooked food is not the culprit for diabetes, djd, and other disorders..being a nurse and being diabetic I can tell you what the culprit is..eating way too much carbohydrates over your lifetime, lack of exercise, and genetics..cooking has nothing to do with it.
My comment was a response to another poster's suggestion that a raw foods diet is essentially unhealthy. I put it to that poster that it's standard cooked food eaters that have chronic diseases, which is true. Man has not always had fire, and Adam and Eve didn't literally exist, but ancient Biblical peoples did use fire to cook some things. However, they still ate really low on the food chain for lack of abundance much of the time. Just as Middle Easterners do now.
actually fat has a lot to do with it. Try eating only fruits and veggies and no overt fat and see your diabetes dissapear if not get better over time where you won't need to be dependent on anything! Try it, you could always go back to the way you are eating. I have met so many ppl who have reveresed diabtes eating this way. So you really don't know enough even if you are a nurse who has diabetes. We are the only species that cooks our foods! Look at the animals that get cancer etc.
@vicy2c: Also most of these strict raw foodists do lots of fasting for wks or months, juice feasts they call them but they are fasts..also another unhealthy thing to do is all those laxatives and colonics/enemas so often..does that not remind you of anorexia and bulemia? Those people also use alot of laxatives & fastings & many get down to like 80lbs or less & some die..my point, anyone can go overboard dieting. The key to losing wt is moderation & exercise...but its hard to do for some of us.
Nonsense, it's not a magic cure to great health. I know what I'm talking about. Though those that include adequate animal foods will be the healthiest.
@vicky2c: Sure I will improve my DM eating only veggies & fruit..its a diet called salad, hello!! I could lose wt fasting, doing atkins, & many other diets & improve my diabetes..but leaving off any food 4ever is not a healthy diet either..your body needs a variety of foods to get the proper nutrients it needs esp proteins that build bones, sinew & muscle.Show me a strictly raw foodie that has any muscle mass & doesnt look emaciated, eyes sitting back in sockets, due to no fat pads.
@dmr0binson, Maybe we should cook our veggies more like the asians..just a quick hot saute rather than like we americans cook til its all mushy..that way we would spare the nutrients, and crunchy tastes better and is more satisfying I think.
Could we become a new kind of humanity with the 'new' 'human' raw food culture of eating. Realize how much of the plants we consume are products of human selectional development. There not 'wild', per se.
Any food can be bad for the body if over consumed, along with other lifestyle factors. Let your body direct you, beware of dietary philosophies that conflict with what the body desires to thrive. Balance. Performance.
I raise my daughter raw for 4 years -- mostly fruitarian 2 1/2 years then mostly raw for 1 1/2 years. She was very meditative and sang all the time. We moved, owing to my wife and I's long standing addiciton to cooked foods back to a vegan diet (50% raw 50%) cooked. My daughter showed no significant change, in her complexion or demeanor and she started "growing" normally though I think the period of raw foodism stunted her growth.
just wondering if your daughter was getting enough calories while raw - especially while fruitarian? genuinely want to know, before deciding where to go from where i'm currently at with my diet.
She was never ill and she was walking 5 miles per day by age 2 -- we started walking her 2 miles perday by the time she was 18 months (started walking at 9 months).
I cannot stress how important it is to walk your children -- alot of their learning comes by way of dynamic coordination -- I would mix in songs, stories, and lessons; combine this with a raw food diet and voila -- genius, smile.
We got off the raw food kick as it was diffictult back then and very few were doing it. 80% now.
It might be interesting for the sake of comparison to hear from a boy of the same age in a similar interview. The girls in this and the other kid interview video seem quite enthusiastic about their raw food diet. Are the girls free to go off this diet if they desire?
I liked your video very much.
