Hey Reid,

Thanks for the interesting article. We actually don't eat raw. I tried it for 45 days and wasn't convinced that the benefits, if any, were worth the extreme amount of work necessary to sustain it.

We do eat a very healthy diet, though. We eat no meat or dairy products, no processed flours, no sugars (excluding natural sugars like those in most fruits), and no bad oils.

As the article said, we have evolved to eat cooked food. However, we have not evolved to eat processed flours and sugars, and there is overwhelming evidence that eating animal products is strongly correlated with many terminal "rich nation" diseases.

I may at some point write an article on our diet, why we follow it, and how we manage to do that while we travel. I'm not sure it would be interesting to enough people to justify, though.

Also, we aren't crazy about it. We occasionally find ourselves in a situation where the only option for food is meat or processed food and we eat it without complaint. That happens around once a month.
