You've got things to say, William. Well, I don't think it's unhealthy to 
have a small cup of [organic] coffee in the morning. I do. But I can also 
do without it.

* This is amazing. I presume there's some basic preparation of the raw 
meat before you gulp it down. If cooking the meat really makes it harder 
to digest, then it seems cooking is pointless. The only "benefit" is maybe 
that by eating it cooked you won't be hungry again within a hour. :)

* I don't think dogs do. I have a cat. She's slower while she is eating 
her meat. It looks as if she is chewing it, but I am not sure. But the 
question is: are humans really carnivores? No, I don't question humans 
eating meat. I question calling them carnivores. I'd rather say omnivores 
or semi-carnivores (I picked this from Wally). I'm talking about modern 
man and I'm trying to look at his particular denture, which doesn't look 
like a carnivore's. Also, I'm not sure if a man's stomach is as powerful 
as a carnivore's (re: acids) to digest meat not previously chewed. For 
just in case, I'd rather chew my meat. Besides, when you don't, you seem 
to miss/skip the taste of it.

Regards, and think about keeping on sipping your coffee.
