Raw food diet - History: Encyclopedia II - Raw food diet - History

Proponents of a raw food diet believe it dates to prehistoric eras, before humans discovered fire. Those who believe that prehistoric humans were largely non-carnivorous vegetarians believe that the human digestive system is largely configured to eat a mainly raw, mainly vegetarian diet, while those who believe their primitive ancestors to have been chiefly hunters, believe the opposite to be true. There are as many shades of variance between the two positions as there is historical evidence for a wide range of hunter gatherer activities, ra ...

Raw food diet - History: Encyclopedia II - Raw food diet - Beliefs and research

Living and raw foods are thought to usually have much higher nut ...

Raw food diet - History: Encyclopedia II - Raw food diet - Overview

The term Raw Food Diet, has come to embody as diverse a set of definitions as there are types of food. While most "'raw foodists'" are vegetarian or vegan, some are also carnivorous or omnivorous.

Raw food diet - History: Encyclopedia II - Raw food diet - Food preparation

Most foods in raw food diets are simple in preparation, and can be eaten immediately. These include fruit and salads. Other foods can require considerable advanced planning to prepare for eating. Rice and some other grains, for example, require sprouting or overnight soaking to become edible.

These processes, which emulate cooked food, are lengthy: some adherents of the diet consequently dispense with these foods, feeling that t ...
