Mental insecurity is a huge
threat to a new fooder achieving his/her health goals, as we've seen on
this thread. These are all very truthful points being made about the
irony of raw fooders fearing nutrient deficiency while SAD eaters just
go about the business of entertaining themselves. It illustrates our
culture's belief that humans can invent things that are superior to
nature. We haven't shrugged off the idea that we can take a
food from nature, cook, process, extract, extrude and package it, and
as long as we put the vitamins and minerals back in, it's a whole food
again. Think about taking a rose apart and putting all the various
chemical constituents in separate little piles. Do you think you could
put it back together so that it once again looked and smelled like a
rose? No
matter how advanced our technology is or becomes, it will never be able
to accomplish what nature can do.
