Milk with pus would be rejected by the milk authority.
Organic farmers seperate their ill animals from the herd until they are well
again.

What kind of manners, though?  (And how do you know?)

If this paragraph sums up your "knowledge" of human nutrition, then you
obviously know little about where humans can get their calories from, let
alone what is healthy for humans to eat.

I must protest the perpretation of this ignorance.  It is relatively easy to
adjust one's diet in a healthy direction.  (Notice I said healthy: this does
NOT necessarily imply RAW !).

it might be blatant, but it's not true.

The fibre is the least of their problems.  (Besides, its possible to eat
100% raw and still have no significant fibre).  There is little meaning in
saying "100% raw" : you have to give raw what, and what quantities.

>t it is certainly not dangerous..

like, what do _you_ know? I doubt that you know _one_ person on 100% raw for
say, 5 years or more, who is doing well.

oh poo !

Ah, now we can buy meat free of parasites !
(there is no such thing as meat totally free of "antibiotics, etc" : these
things have polluted the entire world (admittedly at a low level).

A bit of sense here at last:
Now how about listing the foods you consider to be healthy to eat raw,
specifically I mean, one by one?  And make a balanced diet out of them.
That would be more interesting.
