I want to start eating raw meat?!
Answers: Is eating raw meat good for you? i mean, isn't that the way it was intended to be? How would i got about getting my body used to eating raw meat? It just seems like we are pussying our bodies by cooking our meat. but this is all just a little theory of mine. Anyone?
Humans have been eating cooked meat for a very long time. I don't think after thousands of years we're any worse for it.
We learned to cook meat because it destroyed parasites and bacteria that would make us very sick. Wild animals don't have the option and are often full of parasites. Carnivores have much stronger immune systems that we do as well.
Truth be told, in a wild state we'd eat almost exclusively plants. With lots of grubs and bugs thrown in that don't carry the parasites that infect us. Rarely, we'd be able to catch a little meat. The low meat diet means we're not really geared to deal with the hazards of eating lots of raw meat. A dog, with a fantastic gut with a high acid content, can eat some nasty things that would likely kill you.
So eating raw meat isn't going to be particularly good for you. Though your cat or dog could digest it quite well. My cats often get a treat of raw beef heart.
Check up on Japan's food poisoning and parasite rate. Its unusually high for a developed country due to the raw fish.
There's a reason why we cook our food. We cook it because there are so many bacterias on raw meat (any kind of raw meat). It's not good for us and we could get sick. Take mad cow disease for an example. People could get it if the cow is sick and also if they do not cook the meat fully. It's not good for you and it tastes nasty! =(
Oh, and we are not being pussys by cooking our meat. We are being smarter to stay alive longer! =)
I don't know. I hear there is this raw food diet.
nope not good
you would eventually get ecoli, tapeworm, and many other things if you eat enough raw meat, some meats are alot safer to eat raw than others, but eventually you would get sick, and we seem to live a whole lot longer than back in the day when everyone ate raw meat
I don't know why you would ever desire to begin this type of diet. Way back before we had fire, and man HAD to eat raw meat, the world was different. Animals weren't raised on genetically altered food, given steroids and drink water that was full of pesticides, chemical run off, bugs, worms and who knows what else. You are playing with your health. Some things you could get from raw meat has no cure!
you may possibly die.
cooking it is good, gets rid of all the nasty icky stuff. i wouldn't recommend eating raw meat, if you like it then just have like rare steak or something.
Not a very good idea.
