I don't care about how insects and bacteria eat, or about how murder is
considered in Black Widow society. I am a human, living in a society,
whose conventions affect me. As I said, there is nothing wrong in
principle with being extreme (compared with other humans), provided that
doesn't affect negatively your mental balance.

I think there has been ample discussion on this list about the problem of
parasites. If I was convinced by your "argument", no doubt I would, either
start cooking my RAF, or become vegetarian. But if 0.1% of raw meat eaters
get a dangerous parasite, and 90% of raw vegans become sooner or later B12
deficient, what choice is best?
I don't think eating raw meat is more dangerous than travelling by car or
by plane.
