just joined the group, and am quite surprised at the numger of people into raw
meat etc. Raw foods is traditionally a vegan group, no animal products. And as
well as the source of the food being a bit anti life as you note in your post.
It is also not healthful. Cooked meat has cancer viruses, uncooked has more,
not to mention other viruses, germs and parasites. Pure vegans dont get B12
deficiencies etc. We llive long and healthful lives. And incidently you can
get salmonella poisining from just handling raw chicken. Have had food
poisioning many times in resturants when I was a meat eater, only once as a
vegan. I found out they had chicken on the preparation table before my salad
and got salmonella on it.
