<< I don't begrudge this woman her chicken dinner. She may have no qualms about slaughtering that bird herself so she can try a new recipe. We all choose what we pay attention to and what we ignore. >> 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. Jerry
