In a way, it makes sense. We are, basically, animals who ingest food just like any other animal. I can't see Nature allowing for animals to cook their food. While cooking kills certain bacteria, it also leeches nutrients and breaks down fiber.
I wouldn't partake of it myself, nor am I saying this diet is a good thing, but one would think more FReepers would approach subjects with a bit more logic and reason instead of going into the 'these people are stupid' routine.
And the breaking down of the fiber helps us get more nutrients out of the food so you actually gain from cooking all the way around.
And yes this is stupid. Nature provided us with fire, sadly a number of animals are to dumb to know how to use it. These same animals eat their own feces and the feces of other animals.
If any human promotes eating poop as a diet I will also call them stupid.
