You raise a good point about being able to eat with others, as food *is* a
very social thing in our society. Oddly enough, this came up in my
kitchen just this morning. On Saturday, I tried the raw egg drink recipe
that was posted here last week. That seemed agreeable to me, so I had it
again on Sunday, and then again this morning. It is a quick, easy,
breakfast, and seems to leave me feeling good and strong all morning.
However, this morning my wife commented "I don't know if I like you eating
raw eggs." I asked the obvious "Why?". She responded "I don't know --
it's just not right."
A friend of mine has a saying "Perception *is* reality." If people
believe you're weird for eating strange things, then to them, you *are*
weird. People don't generally like to hang around with people they think
are weird.
I am not at all opposed to raw foods, but I do think the social aspect is
worth mentioning. It's hard enough just being paleo. Add raw paleo on
top of that, and it's going to be really difficult.
