secret
- what most ppl call raw - is really an enzymatic diet
- reason - ppl don't want to cook food to a temp
- where enzymes degrade
- this means ppl don't care about cooking for the diet
- so it's not really raw - since it's not related to cooking
- but rather enzyme-based
- so it should really be called an enzymatic diet instead
- calling it raw is misleading
- so it should really be called an enzymatic diet instead
- a raw diet's - no cooking
- technically being exposed -> air
- could involve cooking
- if it's not the same temp
- as source - it came from
- if it's not the same temp
- could involve cooking
- diets
- wild - no cultivated species
- living foods - straight off the plant
- then there's also unprocessed
- technically being exposed -> air
- but rather enzyme-based
- so it's not really raw - since it's not related to cooking
- this means ppl don't care about cooking for the diet
- where enzymes degrade
- reason - ppl don't want to cook food to a temp
secret
- ingredient: salt
- alt - base - greens
- esp - herbs
- reason
- food - >watery
- electrolytes - out of balance
- <nutrients
- food - >watery
- benefits
- flexibility
- >> - drink - water
- << - >
- <$
- flexibility
- alt - base - greens
- other aspects
- oil free
- growing your own food
- see - stats below
- vegan - vitamin K2
- followed by - barley grass powder
- cold weather - not an issue - reasons
- cycle - w/ seasons
- beh's
- fall - gorge
- winter - hibernate
- spring - wake up
- summer - celebrate, planting
- you don't need to worry about eating/food sources - in winter
- when - sleeping
- reason - you don't burn as many calories
- you're going to burn blubber anyway
- so it - doesn't matter, isn't needed
- -> - eat
- so it - doesn't matter, isn't needed
- you're going to burn blubber anyway
- reason - you don't burn as many calories
- reason - nature tells you it's not the time -> eat
- so - it gives your body - a chance to - rest, rejuvenate
- instead - you're supposed to wait it out till spring
- and even then - it's more - visutarian, energitarian
- when - sleeping
- beh's
- spices - warming, energizing
- ex's - cinnamon, ginger, timut pepper, etc.
- surplus - exists, stored
- during - fall
- -> - winter
- usually you have enough fresh food -> last - throughout winter
- but you can always add - -> jars
- ex's - seeds, nuts
- if anything - seeds are stored
- -> be - planted
- in - spring
- so it's not even for - us
- it's more - for rewilding
- it's more - for rewilding
- so it's not even for - us
- in - spring
- -> be - planted
- if anything - seeds are stored
- ex's - seeds, nuts
- but you can always add - -> jars
- during - fall
- year-round plants
- exists - evergreens, cold-hardy crops, perennials
- these - provide food - year-round
- so you might have - opt's - different
- winter - compared -> other seasons
- winter - compared -> other seasons
- so you might have - opt's - different
- these - provide food - year-round
- these are naturally warm
- due -> - homeostasis
- should be eating raw anyway
- because our bodies - are naturally cold
- so - it makes sense -> - eat - already cold foods
- -> - avoid shocking sys
- except - if it cools us down even more
- it's best - to eat - body temp foods
- luckily - right off plant
- will be - naturally that temp
- as plants - tend -> be
- at that - temp - too
- -> - their bodies
- due -> - being similar
- -> - ours
- due -> - being similar
- -> - their bodies
- at that - temp - too
- as plants - tend -> be
- will be - naturally that temp
- luckily - right off plant
- it's best - to eat - body temp foods

Reasons
>Efficiency - pointless -> remove water - from food
only -> - rehydrate body - w/ drinks (although you might need -> do that anyway, just not as much)

- Cooking
- number 1 cause of house fires, but heating in general causes 4 out of 5 of the top fires an heat is responsible for all top 5 sources
- ~1/2 world pop - 3.6 billion are impacted by indoor air pollution (PM2.5) caused by cooking.
- contributes to climate change
- diseases - ischaemic heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infection (like pneumonia), COPD, lung cancer, etc.
- kerosene - #1 -> childhood poisoning
- oil
- most likely to start a cooking fire
- responsible for providing fuel for disasters, like the Mont Blanc tunnel fire
- Cooking
- ethics
- cooking kills microbes
- it's unethical to kill
- at least for certain diets
- like - jainism
- at least for certain diets
- note - by 'microbes' - I include any pathogenic organisms, including animals
- i.e. - by 'microbes' - I mean microorganisms
- microbes - that have either a symbiotic or at least mutualistic commensal interaction with us
- if we kill them - we kill that relationship
- when we both benefit from having one in the first place
- if we kill them - we kill that relationship
- it's unethical to kill
- goes against our nature
- cooking was a discovered technology
- not - something we had originally
- -> - food
- not - something we had originally
- cooking was a discovered technology
- it's imperfect
- can be detrimental
- by - concentrating toxins
- along w/ - nutrients
- sometimes - nutrients - get concentrated
- -> - toxic amts
- through - cooking
- -> - toxic amts
- sometimes - nutrients - get concentrated
- along w/ - nutrients
- by - concentrating toxins
- creates - perceived sense of safety
- a self-imposed intermediary
- we don't need cooked food
- we - can live w/o it
- it's instead - a massively unnecessary use of resources
- that - we can put - in-> something else
- and are also detrimental - -> our health directly
- including - alt's
- that - 'preserve'
- -> - cooking
- ex - salt - can >high blood pressure
- -> - cooking
- that - 'preserve'
- including - alt's
- and are also detrimental - -> our health directly
- that - we can put - in-> something else
- it's instead - a massively unnecessary use of resources
- we - can live w/o it
- cooking destroys immune boosters that protect us from the very immune threats that it seeks to avoid
- and it on top of it - < our immunity
- w/ - toxins
- when we could've just eaten the immune boosters
- -> - protect ourselves
- instead of - creating complacency
- by - relying on something else
- i.e. - a technology
- -> - protect us
- instead of - taking it upon ourselves - -> do better
- -> - survive - on our own
- instead of - taking it upon ourselves - -> do better
- -> - protect us
- i.e. - a technology
- by - relying on something else
- by eating raw foods - that build our immune system
- w/ - immune boosting chem's, probiotics, etc.
- esp - bacteria - that colonizes the gut
- and pushes pathogens out
- esp - bacteria - that colonizes the gut
- w/ - immune boosting chem's, probiotics, etc.
- instead of - creating complacency
- -> - protect ourselves
- and it on top of it - < our immunity
- we don't need cooked food
- where it only stops the spread of pathogens
- of - one outlet
- not - every outlet
- that - pathogens - are spread
- w/ - pathogenic foods
- that - need cooking
- ex - livestock - that're raised
- produce - and are harbingers of pathogens
- that - get - into the env
- where - it spreads - through air
- cooking only protects - what lands on food
- not - our lungs, surfaces, etc.
