you have no idea what your talking about.
I do believe a raw foods diet has many health benefits...
It's also virtually impossible to maintain by itself in daily life and requires you to in essence live like a Chimp...
You can say... if we lived in the rain forest and foraged daily, eating small bits of fruit and vegetable and being constantly active continually
finding varied bit's of vegetation and licking fresh dew hydrating continually that we would never get cancer
That would be TRUE
It would also allow for human occupation of maybe 10% of the planet with a density of 50 individuals per every 100 miles...
Sure... our LIFE is the cause of cancer, we don't actually eat our purely natural diet, but a chimp spends... 50% of it's day looking for food and
50% of it's day sleeping....
And Would we have a Higher Lifespan...greater longevity that way?
NO
Because the first time you broke a tooth on an apricot pit and it got infected you would die from infection anyway 30 years younger than Cancer would
get you in the modern human world and lifestyle
Maybe it would be child birth or maybe it would be some predator because you can't exactly manufacture spears when you have to forage all day...
And lets factor in Intelligence and thought
Pleasure, KNOWING that some things taste better, desire to create and build and DO things with your mind...
Doesn't really leave much room for foraging and eating every 45 minutes as we should does it? Will you Not get cancer if your miserable knowing
how much more interesting your life can be and produce a Ton of Cortisol every day?
Even in the modern world and I work from home... produce as a full diet without daily runs to the store is very, very difficult, sometimes the weather
might force you to stay home or other reasons, Humans have emotions sometimes out days must be spent caring for others...
That's WHY we HAVE to have foods we can store that are easy to produce and save through the winter, without them we can't inhabit 90% of the places
we do...
I have no argument on Raw foods or natural living...
Beyond that we can't expand as a species that way, humanity will never these this planet and our lifespans would still be way shorter without modern
medicine and for lack of cancer we would deal with 100 other forms of suffering disease and death without the modern world that we have eliminated...
