Does "instinctive eating" include eating meat? Consider. First the meat would need to be raw and unseasoned, otherwise it would be modified by "culinary artifice" and therefore not "original food". Is eating -raw- meat instinctive? GCB's version of anopsology contains inconsistencies, as Laurie shows. But some of the main ideas are probably correct. The inconsistencies need to be ironed out. GCB's idea of "taste change": That's wrong. Taste change does not mean enough; it means excess. It means that one has eaten so much as to cause sickness. It means gluttony. One should never eat to the point of a dramatic taste change. >Can one count on anything they say about instinctive eating? I try to avoid counting on anything anyone says. I try to get the facts and think for myself. Anopsology needs some more work on it before it is perfected.
