My experience is that raw requires less of those, and a better physical  
function includes support for the brain.

On the contrary. I use the Norse definition of human, which means  
approximately "great of heart and mind" and the intent is to imitate as  
much as possible the state of paleolithic man. I believe that human=wild.
Examples are the social abilities of aboriginal Americans, closest AFAIK  
to paleo.

I don't eat all raw, mostly because I haven't the required food sources,  
don't know if I would even if they were available.
