Every living thing contains within it the enzymes to break it down. When we die, cathepsin with digest us. What we call "decomposing" is actually self digestion. Gross huh? Think about all those sad saps eating "aged" meat. It's so tender. Why? Because it's DECOMPOSED! Our pancreas creates most of our enzymes. Due to our unhealtthy lifestyles, our pancreas is 3 times the size of a cow's! Now, 90% of our pancreas creates digestive enzymes. 10% of our pancreas creates metabolic enzymes. Those do the repair work on our bodies. When our diet gets so bad our body has to use that 10% to digest our food, we start falling apart. Disease runs rampant. Fasting also helps our metabolism since when we fast our body isn't forced to create digestive enzymes. Cooking food destroys it's enzymes. We're told "Milk does a body good" (well, we aren't told that any more since the dairy council got sued by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine - false advertising...) But in truth, pastuerization destroys anything that was ever good in milk. 300 milligrams of calcium is rendered to only 30 milligrams that is "bioavailable" - which means our body can use it. You get more calcium from 1 fig. Lots of raw foodists use raw milk and raw cheese products. I tried doing the raw food thing. While any injury or illness did heal faster, I already have a high metabolism. I couldn't eat enough to keep up. Plus, raw milk and raw cheese still keeps 10 cows enslaved just for me. That's a whole village of folks getting food and water if I go vegan. Better option... The idea behind raw foods is all about enzymes.

Our pancreas creates most of our enzymes. Due to our unhealtthy lifestyles, our pancreas is 3 times the size of a cow’s! Now, 90% of our pancreas creates digestive enzymes. 10% of our pancreas creates metabolic enzymes. Those do the repair work on our bodies.

When our diet gets so bad our body has to use that 10% to digest our food, we start falling apart. Disease runs rampant.

Fasting also helps our metabolism since when we fast our body isn’t forced to create digestive enzymes.

Cooking food destroys it’s enzymes. We’re told "Milk does a body good" (well, we aren’t told that any more since the dairy council got sued by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine – false advertising…) But in truth, pastuerization destroys anything that was ever good in milk. 300 milligrams of calcium is rendered to only 30 milligrams that is "bioavailable" – which means our body can use it. You get more calcium from 1 fig.

Lots of raw foodists use raw milk and raw cheese products.

I tried doing the raw food thing. While any injury or illness did heal faster, I already have a high metabolism. I couldn’t eat enough to keep up. Plus, raw milk and raw cheese still keeps 10 cows enslaved just for me. That’s a whole village of folks getting food and water if I go vegan. Better option…

Animals are generally the healthiest most fittest beings on earth, by eating like them, theory is that we can achieve that.

Naw seriously, it's just another way to limit the amount of food a person can intake. The major advantage would be maintaining the nutrient potential of foods because the cooking process reduces that in varying degrees, especially the microwave believe it or not. and it's soooooooooooooooo hip, especially if you go to yoga class and your name is like "Amber" or "Candice" or "Mercedes" P.S. And I've cooked for plenty of vegans who went for unseasoned steamed vegetables allllllll the time! BEING TRENDY!
