- >>>That is one of the point of eating raw meat . you need way less. > >*And* you are a bodybuilder? I am physically active ! No matter what your needs are, you need less raw meats. But with the philosophy of body building where more is better ? that might be a different story. did you ever visually see the difference in meat texture between the carcassess of wild herbivores and domesticated ones (like a wild sheep versus a domesticated one). this is The marbling of the tissues that makes the muscle bigger in volume but not as strong and quick to respond than the wild muscle . This also the difference in density ( the wild muscle is heavier ). Guarantee that cooked meat will give you those nice fluffy gorgeous muscles. a sheep lying on his back is unable to get back on its legs, that tell you something about the incapicating quality of its muscles. I killed with a knife a deer and can tell you about the bouncing strengh of those thin muscles.. but it is true that there is no wild animal bodybuilder either . jean-claude
