People with …
People with anorexia are attracted to Raw organic foods for many reasons. It gives them an excuse not to eat because most food is “contaminated.” It also feeds into the disease with restrictions, obsession and perfectionism (that isn’t really raw, I have been contaminated). For years I couldn’t gain weight on raw foods. I also ate perfectly with proper food combining and had digestive trouble. I still eat a lot of raw and some cooked. I finally put on weight. Digestion is better , not perfect.

you absorb so many more nutrients when food is cooked. This is proven!Good luck breaking down that cellulose. Which explains why people get high off (baked) marijuana brownies and not raw marijuana.

David Wolfe sells …
David Wolfe sells alot of Expensive supplements that he claims are supposedly ‘raw’ and are loaded with all kinds of Nutrients.

My question is a simple one, just as we can all take our Water to a Facility to have it independently Tested and Analyzed as to its specific contents,

Is there any Place out there that Independently and Scientifically ‘tests’ Nutritional Products so that we can know if we are being lied to or not ?

I cant be the Only asking this question and wondering !

Actually, I believe …
Actually, I believe this sweet and smart guy “Gabriel Cousens” is now 66 years old! I found an interview from 2005, in it he says he is 63. this is 2008 so he should be 66 now! He looks fantastic for his age.

Have a nice big steak, cooked medium/medium rare, and you’re on your way to being human.

And beware of your health. Teeth and skin integrity will be the first areas of indications of things going wrong.

He looks 50ish to me, but I’ve seen a 50 year old normal fit guy look more youthful than the guy in this vid. It’s not about how ascetic or ‘natural’ your diet is, it’s about taking good care of yourself as a modern human who happens to use fire and tools. Man developed to thrive better with fire and tools, including the cooking of food.

I take that comment back. This is is actually 64 years old. Wow!!! I thought he was 40ish. Wow, he’s 64, wow!

Hello everyone, i’m …
Hello everyone, i’m currently 80% raw and 20% steamed and cooked. So I don’t say this with bias. THis guy looks like crap, why is he the posterboy for raw food. His image will only give meat eaters more reasons to continue eating meat.

He does look way younger than his age though, I’ll give you that. I thought he was like 45.

The bottom line is, if you’re trying the raw food diet, make sure you get enough calories or you’ll end up looking like Skeletor.

I’ve been on the …
I’ve been on the raw food diet for 2 months now, and I know who gabriel cousens is. All I’m saying is, his arms are nearly as thin as his wrists, and I can see his skull through his skin. He needs to eat some more avacodos or flax seeds or something. Most raw foodists don’t look sucked-up like that.

The interviewer is probably asking him about anorexia out of concern for his heath. I think he missed the hint though.

Look up “Shazzie” on Youtube, if you want to see a healthy raw foodist.

If I was 6′ tall and weighed 100 lbs, I bet I could do some pushups too. No challenge there.

You are a fool. The man can do 700 push ups at 65 something years old. Well, i guess we will call you fat ass!? Nay. Read all his books before saying such a foolish comment on one of the greatest men on earth.

You seem no to know who Dr. Cousens.
Google his name or watch some of many clips with him here before you express judgments about someone. He is simply one of the leading experts in Raw Nutrition in the whole planet. He is around 64 yo now, in perfect health.

This guy IS anorexic!
