Over at our forum www.rawpaleoforum.com we moderators are discussing why and how we can attract more women to join the forum or to get into the raw paleolithic diet. Of course we all know that most people who are on the raw paleolithic are there eating raw animal foods finally because nothing else has worked for them. Raw vegan didn’t work, raw fruitarian didn’t work, cooked meat paleolithic diet didn’t work… so there is nothing else, this is the end of the line, the ultimate, raw paleolithic diet.
My latest contribution to the discussion of we need to recruit more women to the raw paleo forum went like this:
There is also the gross factor for women.
Over dinner last night I was telling my wife how wonderful my lunch was:
raw beef bone marrow
raw goat kidney
raw goat testicles
all fresh!And my wife goes, “Gross! What a total turn off!”
And I go, “Look whose talking… you’re eating duck fetus for dinner!”
And she says, “…but my duck fetus is cooked so it’s not gross!”
But my wife just ate raw fish just this dinner time.
There you have it folks, the magic is in cooking. For some reason, people are stuck to the mantra that if you cook a land animal, it stops being gross. But it is socially acceptable to eat raw fish because the Japanese do it regularly.
