181. Eating cooked organic heirloom would not be? This raw food veganism is probably unhealthy.

Fri Oct 18, 2013, 01:40 PM

Oct 2013

Think about it, for millions of years of human evolution, there have never existed meatless (non)hunters gatherers. It is very likely if not certain that meat is actually good for us in ways vegan propaganda does not even contemplate.

BTW, where do you get your B12 and where do you get your L-carnosine and where do you get CSA (healthy trans fat in butter)?

And what is so healthy about eating raw red kidney beans? Nothing. They are toxic, possibly lethal. Raw plants contain a lot of natural pesticides, designed to keep animals away. But people? People just "know" that raw veganism is good. Right? You just know it. You are so convinced of it that you will put yourself through such misery and it will take you years before you realize that your health is on the decline. Even then, you may not stop eating those toxins. Because you just "know" it's good to be raw food vegan in the absence of any evidence.
