I think the idea behind a raw food diet is that heating food destroys some of the nutritional content (whether this is true or not idk, though it sounds very pseudoscientific to me). So pickling or fermenting is fine generally, so long as you don't heat it in the process.

"destroys some of the nutritional content" JUST EAT MORE OF IT THEN

It's minimally destructive. Barring, say, boiling something to death. Cooking some foods makes it more nutritious, like meats. Or tomatoes.

I was under the impression that cooking food proved to be a huge step forward for early humans because it made the food easier to digest and led to people having to spend less time gathering and eating (raw) food.

Anyone that thinks raw food is the ideal diet is a petit bougie idiot with literally no knowledge of history, biology, or human physiology. They're worse than paleo people somehow

Even if it were true... so what? I mean you're living in the United States and have enough money to eat a fancy rear end vegan diet. You're not balancing on the edge of starvation where every nutrient matters. Eat a spinach salad occasionally, problem solved. There is zero reason for anyone with enough money to afford real food in a first world country and isn't some chicken nugget only eating sperglord to be worrying about malnutrition.

thecluckmeme posted:LET YOUR PIZZA loving COOL YOU ANIMAL *slams hand on desk* THIS IS WHY PEOPLE THINK PIZZA SALAD NEEDS TO EXIST The problems with that pizza go much further than its temperature. For a start, the cheese should be under the salami, which would somewhat mitigate the problem of the toppings falling off but obviously wouldn't come close to solving it. The main issue is that it just has way too much cheese, and practically no other toppings. At that point you may as well admit to yourself that what you want is a bowl of melted cheese and just eat that.

In addition to Orthorexia, I think these raw foods people may have some undiagnosed illness which they are convinced is cured by eating raw /gluten free/etc. I mean that's the only thing I can think of. Its also a good example of how privilege can indulge people in weird things like this. If someone is poor they often can't afford to be picky about what they eat /how it's prepared. And given the fact that our food is so calorie dense that even the working poor are heavily affected by obesity, I seriously doubt the problem with food is that we are heating it up destructively.

Its maybe not surprising that its vegans who get on the odd dietary trains. They generally need to learn some amount of nutrition science to avoid protein and vitamin deficiencies and given the reason people actually go vegan it seems like it'd be really easy to replace that nutrition science with woo.

Whoever said "disguising an eating disorder" was, sadly, right. A lot of people use restricted diets like vegan or gluten-free diets as a way of disguising the fact that they're restricting calories. Vegans who ramble on about "whole foods" are the funniest, because the only "whole foods" you can get sufficient dietary B12 from aren't vegan. So instead of meeting all their nutritional needs with food, most vegans in fact have to rely on supplements (usually produced by the dreaded Big Pharma) to maintain their health.

I got a buddy who's allergic to fish that's been heat cooked. Something about the protein chains becoming rigid. He can down a sushi platter no problem but he takes a bite of baked salmon and he breaks out. I thought raw food weirdos were misinterpreting stuff like that. Kind of like how I've met one celiac case ever but I know a million dummies with "intolerances".

This discussion reminds me of when I was homeless for a while and ate canned pasta for like 60% of my meals because my ex refused to eat vegetables even while homeless and I would have killed for canned spinach. Cold canned chef boyardee is the most AFP poo poo in the world and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
