The truth is that for most people including those in this thread, you don't know that you don't know. You don't know because you've never tried it and because you have incorrect beliefs that has been implanted into you by society. This is ok, this is a big part of living on Earth, but the point is just that you have no idea how much your life might improve by improving your diet.
Wow, somehow I missed the earlier posts on this thread! yossarian, where are you? I hope you come back! You have said some very profound things!
As someone who has dabbled with a raw foods vegan diet, I agree totally! It's just impossible to understand the buoyant energy one gets by eating raw foods. I didn't stick with it at the time for various reasons...but I'm working my way back to it.

The ideal diet is ideal because it is the diet that all humans share and that all humans evolved for over literally millions of years. Humans are adaptable and can survive on practically anything, but some things make them happier and healthier than others and most people don't know what they're missing until they try it.
Well said!

Celiac disease is a diseases whereby you demonstrate very unhealthy symptoms when you eat food with gluten - breads, pastas and starchy foods like that. The truth is that *everyone* has celiac disease, just for most humans they don't notice because it is not severe enough. Celiac disease is probably the reason why many vegans and vegetarians go back to eating meat - they were eating too much rice and pasta and bread and not enough fruits and vegetables, so meat is actually an improvement over their vegan/veggie diet.
*Everyone* has celiac disease. There isn't a single human in the world who will not feel more energetic by clearing out their intestines of the gummy gluten and replacing it with a better food such as fish or fruit. This is the type of thing that people don't know they don't know and it's just the tip of the iceberg.
This is blowing my mind! I knew a lot of people are down on grains but I hadn't heard it put quite that way.

Guilty!!!

And since vegetables don't provide calories, this means getting calories from fruit.
Our genetic ancestors (apes) did not live in the cold. When the ETs combined Martian DNA with Earth-ape DNA to create humans 75,000 years ago they took on the digestive system of the ape, who did not live in Europe or Canada or Russia. These are unnatural environments for our bodies. Humans are tropical creatures just like apes and have the same basic diet as apes.
We adapted to the cold northern environment, but at a cost. Our lifespans decreased, our psychic abilities atrophied, our energy went down.
The human body only uses glucose - every calorie you put into your stomach is broken down into glucose before being absorbed into your cells. When you put a complex carb, a starchy potato, beef, or bread, that stuff just gets turned into fruit anyway. Fruit is mostly glucose. Fruit is already in the digestible form.
I agree that cooked food is delicious, but so are many harmful substances like alcohol and tobacco and cocaine. No one ever regrets increasing their fruit intake.
WOW! Again my mind is blown! But of course, apes are tropical!!! Wow, wow, WOW! This explains so much to me!
I knew I didn't agree with the 'blood type' diet but wasn't sure why. Now I know why. The creation of humans from the ape body by our ET friends predates the migration of humans to various climates. Or, more likely, our ET friends planted the various tribes of humans (from the other planets) in different geographical locations. So they had to adapt. But they ALL originated from the ape raw material!
Oh this makes so much sense! Thanks for sharing this. I feel like a light bulb just went on.
