In the beginning of february 2002, I discovered Aajonus Vonderplantiz on
the Internet. First I thought it was a joke, but soon I was convinced that
there were people who were eating raw animal parts. I was disgusted when I
thought about it but at the same time I was very fascinated. I started to
read a lot about bacterias and intestinal parasites, and in the beginning
of the summer I bought some raw beef, and ate it. This was an extremely
difficult step for me.
Later in the summer, before I found out about Paleo, I had a short period
during which I only ate unprocessed food, even raw flesh and organs. I even
ate grains once. At home I ate from all categories of undenatured food,
otherwise I ate fruits, vegetables and raw eggs. I didn't eat raw eggs in
the presence of too sensitive
people though.
When eating with others who were eating cooked meat I felt terrible. The
aroma was driving me insane and I was nearly drooling on the table. But, I
was terrified of cooked food after reading so much negative things about
it, so I continued to mess with my vegetables and fruit, and didn't reveal
my inner battle. This happened every time I saw cooked meat or felt the
aroma. It was like addiction. One evening I found an article on the
Internet that ended my fear. Shortly after that I discovered Paleo. Now I
eat both cooked and raw animal parts.
There's a page on the Internet that claimes that when proteins are heated,
something called beta-carbolines are produced, and that some of these
substances are addictive. If that's true, then maybe that explains my
struggle with cooked meat, and maybe this partly or wholly explains why
early humans started to cook their meat. The address of the page
is
http://www.13.waisays.com/cigarettes. I haven't checked the references yet.
