Hi David - did you gradually transition from cooked to raw or did you
just jump right into eating raw animal products? If it was a gradual
thing, were you able to notice any health benefits because of the
change? Conversely, if you were now to switch back to cooked meat on
a regular basis, do you feel your state of health would suffer as a
result?
Cheers,
Jo
