What eating no processed food can do!

This is a GREAT video on the same topic:

Another good video talks about studies on food and behavior:

All foods are processed to an extent....so eating no processed foods would cause one to starve to death.

Fresh meats, vegetables and fruits eaten raw are not processed in the sense they are talking about in the video.

I am adopting eating raw meat now along with raw vegetables and fruit, I am liking how I feel so far!!

That's not true at all.
You can grow your own foods and not process them. Fruits, vegetables, anything that comes from the ground is not processed, as long as no pesticides and stuff were used.
That's what me and my boyfriend plan to do with our house, we plan to have our own farm and grow our own food for health reasons.

Congratulations on your ability to live off of nothing but home grown fruits and veggies. I like to eat meat, so this is not an option for me.

I eat meat and it is not processed. Mearly skinned and cut into appropriate cuts. I am starting to enjoy it raw too, ruminant animals that have been grass fed that it.

I eat no boxed, packaged, frozen foods any longer, so no I don't eat processed foods.

Local farmer's markets are wonderful places to get lots of good veggies and fruit for reasonable prices. I can go once a week and get veggies to do about 2 plates full of veggies per person per day for around $45 to feed 3 people. So that is about $15 per week. I go and buy what they have and go home and look up recipes to cook what I purchased. At this point, I don't have to look up much, just pull out my big binder of healthy cooking recipes and lay out 5-6 for the week. We usually do one night a week as "left over night".

Thank you for posting this. I wonder what I could substitute for the organ meat and the seaweed...

Organ meat and seaweed are good and very good for you.

Searing a sliced liver just a bit on each side is AWESOME. So is beef tongue...........

Kidneys are delicious too, either in a stew with casserole steak, or fried (traditionally in a spiced cream sauce...traditional British food uses a lot of organ meat).

I was brought up eating this sort of thing, and I really like it. Learning to cook it well is key, though.

wow!

@oneday- did you watch it?

I doubt it...

Anyway, thanks for the link! I have cut most processed foods out (exception being eating out occaisionally ) and can definately feel the difference.

I won't eat organ meats because I know what their body function is -- they're filters for all the bad stuff in your body. The only one I might consider is heart but there are too many other meat products to eat. Guess I'll just make the sacrifice.

That is why I do not eat organ meats....I know their function and it grosses me out...sorry organ meat eaters.

I went raw vegan for about 3 months and lost 50 pounds. Its amazing how much I instantly felt better. I loved it and it gets easier, once your body is used to not stuffing itself with junk. Many links on youtube are great for additional information. Good post!
