Vegetarianism and veganism have been gaining popularity, but the latest fad has people eating only raw plant foods that can be consumed without cooking. Some even won’t eat foods that have been processed or changed from their natural state, such as oat or almond milk.
Raw vegan diet enthusiasts claim that cooking vegetables causes a loss of nutrients and enzymes and believe that the diet will prevent or reverse disease, boost energy levels and improve overall health — but one expert warns this diet trend might actually cause more harm than good if followed for a long period of time.

BTW, vegan diet is actually quite bad too.
Human needs so called essential proteins, which are only in meats or milk.
Otherwise they will wither and get sick. Most of them know it so they consume some artificial protein supplements, probably made from some rendered meat!?
Why are there no cave drawings of vegetables?
Oh, that’s good! I’m gonna use that. Thanks!
Enzymes are proteins. They are broken into amino acids in the digestive tract. That’s been known for at least a century.
So what “science” are they following?
There’s a place at the table for all of God’s creatures, somewhere between the biscuits and the mashed potatoes.
these cows should just grind their canines down and be done wi it...
well, DUH!
who ever once met a vegan 100+?
When I attended San Francisco State University I had a bumper sticker P. E. T. A.
