Glad to hear you are feeling better. >The (raw) meat didn't make me tired, and it digested easily, as usual. Funny how I >used to tell people that the human stomach can't digest meat! I wonder where I >read that? I have had the same experience with meat, Aaron. For me, to be honest, I still prefer the _taste_of cooked (rare-med. rare) meat to raw meat. However, I can easily demonstrate to myself that my stomach digests _raw_ meat much more easily than cooked meat. I have tried this over and over again, proving to myself that I seem to do much better on raw meat. Over time, I have adapted to the taste of raw meat, and now consume up to 1 lb. per day. I never was able to do that with cooked meat. It is unfortunate that I have such a taste for cooked foods because I generally do not do very well on them. I know I have this taste because I was raised on them, but regardless it has been difficult at times to completely phase them out of what I eat. There are many raw foods which I enjoy, but I also find it difficult to find a great variety of cuisine. Not only is this due to my inability to find high-quality raw animal products, but also with my limited experience in prepared different raw meals. I wish that there were raw cookbooks available which heavily incorporated raw animal foods. Once again, thanks for your experiences. -Ben
