Gabriel Cousens on Raw Food and Anorexia

[raaaaaarr]

Wow.. wait what? Does that mean he is 69 now???

[PrincessMoonFeathers]

now theres a new "dis ease" called Orthorexia, it is now a mental illness if one only wants to eat organic foods or only raw foods or only plant foods ......crazy!!!!!!

@PrincessMoonFeathers You cannot digest cellulose weather it's raw or cooked. Cows can digest cellulose and last time I looked in the mirror I saw a homo sapiens looking back at me.

@tejo29se Sorry, the message was meant for another youtuber.

But to answer your text Orthorexia is about eating clean foods and never stray from the diet. Eating plant food is NOT a disease.

[Houssak]

so many cases of anorexia these days are based on people aspiring to look like celebrities. It's the truth, it hurts and it's sad. Go to Africa or anywhere where people are starving and that will put things into perspective.

[kimzeynkink]

People with anorexia are attracted to Raw organic foods for many reasons. It gives them an excuse not to eat because most food is "contaminated." It also feeds into the disease with restrictions, obsession and perfectionism (that isn't really raw, I have been contaminated). For years I couldn't gain weight on raw foods. I also ate perfectly with proper food combining and had digestive trouble. I still eat a lot of raw and some cooked. I finally put on weight. Digestion is better , not perfect.

you absorb so many more nutrients when food is cooked. This is proven!Good luck breaking down that cellulose. Which explains why people get high off (baked) marijuana brownies and not raw marijuana.

Actually, I believe this sweet and smart guy "Gabriel Cousens" is now 66 years old! I found an interview from 2005, in it he says he is 63. this is 2008 so he should be 66 now! He looks fantastic for his age.

[VedicResurrection]

I take that comment back. This is is actually 64 years old. Wow!!! I thought he was 40ish. Wow, he's 64, wow!

[Goingvert]

He looks 50ish to me, but I've seen a 50 year old normal fit guy look more youthful than the guy in this vid. It's not about how ascetic or 'natural' your diet is, it's about taking good care of yourself as a modern human who happens to use fire and tools. Man developed to thrive better with fire and tools, including the cooking of food.

[VedicResurrection]

Hello everyone, i'm currently 80% raw and 20% steamed and cooked. So I don't say this with bias. THis guy looks like crap, why is he the posterboy for raw food. His image will only give meat eaters more reasons to continue eating meat.

[raw4healing]

Gabriel Cousins rawks!! I love all his stuff! He is a great example to everyone that raw is the way to go!

[hiptobehealthy]

Gabriel's very right.....

The bottom line is, if you're trying the raw food diet, make sure you get enough calories or you'll end up looking like Skeletor.

[Goingvert]

And beware of your health. Teeth and skin integrity will be the first areas of indications of things going wrong.

[tejo29se]

@freedomsadvocate07 Just look at durianrider or doug graham. An aspiring skeletor and his master.

Freedom?advocate:

You seem no to know who Dr. Cousens.

Google his name or watch some of many clips with him here before you express judgments about someone. He is simply one of the leading experts in Raw Nutrition in the whole planet. He is around 64 yo now, in perfect health.

[freedomsadvocate07]

I've been on the raw food diet for 2 months now, and I know who gabriel cousens is. All I'm saying is, his arms are nearly as thin as his wrists, and I can see his skull through his skin. He needs to eat some more avacodos or flax seeds or something. Most raw foodists don't look sucked-up like that.

The interviewer is probably asking him about anorexia out of concern for his heath. I think he missed the hint though.

Look up "Shazzie" on Youtube, if you want to see a healthy raw foodist.

[freedomsadvocate07]

This guy IS anorexic!

[DARTAGNANS170]

You are a fool. The man can do 700 push ups at 65 something years old. Well, i guess we will call you fat ass!? Nay. Read all his books before saying such a foolish comment on one of the greatest men on earth.

[freedomsadvocate07]

If I was 6' tall and weighed 100 lbs, I bet I could do some pushups too. No challenge there.

[freedomsadvocate07]

He does look way younger than his age though, I'll give you that. I thought he was like 45.

[tejo29se]

@DARTAGNANS170 700 push ups? I wanna see that before I believe he can do that. NOT

[TheBestOfRawFood]

Great Video!
