Generally as a society we tend to learn our eating habits from our friends and parents, and cooking food has always been a part of this for most people it would seem now that raw food is getting quite a lot of attention.
Is it really because that is how we were meant to eat food, even though our ancestors probably had fire. I dare say they weren’t that bothered about cooking their food under heat. They may have constructed or used some sort of crude spit for cocking their meat. But would they have necessarily bothered to cook their vegetables?
Why do people who eat raw food seem to lose weight very quickly rather than those who don’t eat raw food, we are led to believe that it’s to do with the enzymes in the raw food which tend become lost in the cooking process.
