Hi Barry

You are right about Fat, people do need it, it just depends on the source of the fats.

For example if it isn't an organic source of meat I wouldn't touch it.

Have you read much Weston Price?

his work goes into a lot of depth about this.

regards Beckie

i feel that from all the research i have been doing for about 9 years regarding diet, in its most general form and being a juvenile diabetic that there needs to be a balance between a raw and pure protein/fat diet.

true on our evolutionary scale we've only been eating processed foods for a tick of the clock but in that time we've had diseases come raging at us.

in the good old caveman days we would eat raw meat about once a week.  eggs probably more often but the majority of what we ate was ruffage.  herbs, grasses, plants and the like.  i am sure if those us' found a sugar we'd eat all of it in one sitting until it was gone.

so i feel its best that we today balance a diet 60/40 raw/fat and we need to know how the process of applying heat aka cooking changed some of the foods we eat.  we know that cooking say, jimaca helps aid digestion.  there are a few foods out there similar and those which give more nutritional content when heated like tomatoes.

all i know that dairy products are SO highly processed with hormones and other crap that i feel much better being off dairy right now....even if the detox is horrible but i will find a way to get some clean organic dairy.  i eat from a local farm their animals which are so pure, it tastes soooo good.

anyways, just my thoughts.

Many years ago I read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price. That literally changed my life and the way I looked at food.  I read it before I had children, and as a result, I'm the mother of three very healthy adults who probably wouldn't have been as healthy had I gone the conventional route of "formula," baby food, etc.

While I'm eating about a 75% raw vegan diet at this time, I do not believe that a 100% vegan diet (raw or cooked) is natural to any human.  The fact that Dr. Price never saw any such culture in all of his travels made an impact, and I've seen nothing to contradict his findings. 

Some cultures thrived on bread and cheese, some on fish, some on insects, some on fermented vegetables and some animal products, etc., etc., etc. Some raw, most cooked. The people were all disease free, even if their diets were completely different from one another. The thing that messed them up is the same thing that's messing us up now - processed food.  Or, as Dr. Price often said, "foods of modern commerce" - foods that are completely devoid of any nutritive value. 

So as someone said earlier during this discussion:  "If your grandmother wouldn't recognize it, don't eat it"!
