In my mental exercises, I imagined cooking came only later on after fire was invented. Pretty obvious. Then people who became hungry and had no raw fruit and no raw animals to eat in their area, in their fit of hunger and want to survive, experimented with fire and found out they could heat some plants to make them edible. Since only birds ate grain because they had a crop / balun-balunan, but with heating, grains became human edible too. Some root crops like potatoes were now edible too.
Soon, people settled down and specialized in their jobs. The cooks did nothing but cook so they experimented and got fancy with their cooking. They soon found they could mix things and make them presentable… you know women… they like these pretty presentations and complicated recipes… then some natural experimentors experimented with animal foods and cooked animal foods. Big mistake. Animal foods are supposed to be eaten raw. Cooking animal foods is as idiotic as cooking fruits. Of course the civilized humans today think it is ideal to cook animal foods and it is okay to cook fruits… and they wonder why they are so sickly?
In my mental experiments I have come to conclude that cooking was originally invented so that humans who faced starvation could eat something. This meant making non-human-edible items edible. Say plants, grains, root crops can be cooked and made human edible.
But FRUITS and RAW ANIMAL FOODS which are the primary foods of humans were always eaten RAW, and is designed by nature to be eaten RAW. The human body knows how to handle, how to utilize, how to optimally perform when fed raw fruits and raw animal foods. Cooking these primary foods turns everything upside down and harms humans.
So let’s get this straight. When starving — in bad times, cook plants, grains, root crops. It’s better than starving to death. When fruits and animal foods are available, never cook them, eat them raw.
Humans today are living on cooked food diets… starvation diets… better something than nothing… and one by one until everyone comes down with diseases, malnutrition, and non reaching of our full potential. This is why almost everyone in the civilized world has tooth decay… only those eating a TRUE HUMAN DIET do not get tooth decay… and these people exist… Weston Price sought them out.
