What do TVP, MSG and RAF mean?

Mr. Burger experimented with raw milk but it led to inflammations.

We will not always notice it. Swans and ducks for example _love_
to feed on bread and similar stuff. Although they still look
normal from the outside it is known that their beak get so
weak that they are no longer able to eat their natural food.

IMHO in a natural environment there is no difference between
instinctive attraction and healthiness of a product. So in
the wild there was no need for a 'watchdog' mechanism and
so none evolved.

No, at least not yet. We have a chance!

For me it is still difficult to have a satisfying meal of
vegetables. But according to Thomas (from ORKOS) this is
caused by an overload of proteins. He recommended me to
stop eating proteins (nuts, avocados, flesh, fish...) for
a week. Then a natural attitude towards proteins would
have been restored. I think that he probably is right.
I already used the same approach when I noticed that I
got into 'tolerance' with peanuts. I just stopped buying
and eating them for three weeks, then the natural
attraction and block were restored.

BTW: I did get awkwardly thin when I ate only fruits.

Thanks! And regarding Oranges: Why have they only been around for
a very short time. I thought that wild forms of citrus fruit
were available in the ancient woods. Aren't Pomelos, for example,
rather wild fruits?
