I've been studying this issue since Steve began his 30 trail. After reading a ton of stuff on Primal diet, raw diet, vegan raw...raw etc...... I have come to the conclusion that if you are going to eat something it is best to eat it as raw as you can stand it. Fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables then make the most sense to eat. Raw eggs, milk, and cheese are next. Then raw meat. Bugs are gross. Grains, beans, and potatoes need to be processed before consumption.
I think this is a true statement and we should eat our food choices as raw as we can stand them to achieve the greatest benefit from them.
