My thoughts on the entire raw food/primal debate.

honestly the raw diet stuff is kind of terrifying for me. i think i understand the underlying mentality and desire for a specific lifestyle. cottagecore is a similar equivalent for women. living on a farm, wearing long dresses, watering some beautiful plants, knitting everything, etc. it's a desire to slow down or escape.

i think it's a good admission about taste though. i genuinely can't stand milk chocolate anymore, for an example. i forced myself to eat only dark chocolate for a while and i acquired the taste and preference for it. i think itd be possible to acquire it and prefer it, but u'd have to be super committed to the lifestyle or beliefs, as u said.

part of me instinctively wants to bring up some points ive heard while watching commentary videos on youtube actually. about how the process of pastrizing milk specifically isn't as chemical or unnatural as it seems, it's more or less boiling it to remove bad bacteria. but most of these talking points i haven't actually looked into, just something i heard and inherently believed.

i think most people don't have strong enough stomaches to endure the potential bad consequences, and because of that, i hesitate to look into it and even consider trying it. im diabetic personally and i want to find things thatd help me feel 'normal' id say, but i see articles or videos about people dying from raw milk not setting well or bad meat they ate, etc. im like woah damn that's scary
