    My species didn't claw its way to the top of the food chain to have me drink my own urine and eat 5lbs of lettuce per day

    Apart from everything else, most of them look awful!

    I couldn't watch it all. The insanity was just too much.

    There's something smart about eating raw veg with your meat

    These lunatics have a couple of useful ideas.

    Interesting, watched the whole thing. They've taken a good idea (not eating crap), and taken it way, way too far. They've also thrown in a fair bit of mysticism, like pendants that use quantum mechanics to project cleansing fields and shit like that.

    There's a strong argument to be made for eating organic foods, and eating vegetables raw, and even for minimizing your carb intake through grains and other food sources that popped up recently in our history. Having the made-up idea that heat destroys the nutritional value of all food is absurd. We've been cooking meat for hundreds of thousands of years, and will have evolved to handle consumption of cooked meat very well. Dairy has been given to everyone as babies for hundreds of millions of years, and it's clear that consumption thereof for those evolutionarily equipped to handle it as adults (ie not lactose intolerant, etc) doesn't kill you.

    If I had the money, I'd eat organic Paleo with dairy, and laugh at the scrawny, weak and sickly raw foodists i push over with my breath.

    Nutritional arguments? I thought the main point of organic food was environmental impact (and that even those arguments are shaky).

    Nah, mostly it's that they're tastier.

    My sister does get an allergic reaction from some of the chemicals that get sprayed on non-organic food though.
