Okay just to let you know i am pretty new to being raw. The only part of my diet that isnt raw is meat but im working on that. Anyway...My first question is if i dehydrate meat is it still considered raw and is there some temperature i need to dehydrate the meat at for it to be considered safe? (And yes i know humans are fully capable of eating raw meat but not when they havn't been eating it all their lives).
My second questions is on nuts/seeds. I eat plenty of them but i keep reading how healthy it is to soak and sprout them. Although it sounds logical why would it actually be healthier for human beings if we evolved eating nuts and seeds when they have not be soaked/sprouted? Any explanation would be great.
thank you

I like your explanation of the nuts/seeds already being somewhat sprouted. As for the raw meat vs raw vegans i completely disagree. First of all there have been no studies on raw vegans vs raw meat eaters (The studies are always on cooked meats and not only cooked meats but unhealthy cooked meats such as beef that is grain fed). Second of all I do not believe that it is possible for humans to have been eating meat for over 2 million years and not have adapted to it. It accounts for to many major nutrients and the digestive part of our body does not resemble herbivores or carnivores so what does that make us, omnivores.
This is where everyone is mistaken. First of all we don't need the digestive enzymes because we are meant to eat raw meat which already contains enzymes. Second everyone overlooks the fact that humans evolved with technology (weapons for hunting) so we didn't need to evolve to have claws or sharp teeth, we had stone tools.
Although i agree that dairy makes very little sence, it is possible that because we are mammals we are able to use milk as a healthy food source (i really don't know). And i also agree that humans are meant to eat primarily plant matter, but i still believe we need meat and eggs in our diet.
Im not promoting meat and milk, i just think that when people are suffering certain conditions because they are vegans they should probably realize that either they are not suited to be vegans or they need to fix it right away. And as for the who cares what are ancestors comment, it doesn't matter that we are intelligent, are bodies need what they need.
What i said was a personal belief im not trying to push it on others...and also i agree that we are able to look at what are bodies need, but we have tested nearly as much as we need to. ALL tests on meat were on meat that was cooked, processed and the cow that the meat came from was grain fed.
Okay im making a formal apology to everyone. When i joined i didnt even realize this was a vegan site. But either way i want to stay a part of it because i need a lot of raw vegan recipes and because everyone is so nice.
trust me ive read plenty of health articles on meat
wait are you saying that destroying everything beneficial in fruit isnt good if we consume it???? Crazy...
lol i dont understand any of you i was not purposefully trying to be offencive i didnt break any rules and i apologized... do you just not like the fact that i eat eggs and drink milk?
Okay first of all you completely misunderstood that statement. When i said we tested nearly as much as we need to i was talking about all the tests we have done and scientists are repeating a thousand times over. We know fruit is good, greens are good, sugar is bad...Every other day i read a new article about how scientists just did a study showing that kids are overweight cause they drink to much soda.
Second of all i eat primarily raw vegan, occasionally i eat a raw egg or drink some raw grass-fed milk and maybe once in a month i have a serving of meat. I just hate when people say there is absolutely no way that meat can be beneficial to us. I'm on the forums just because i like to talk to other people who eat raw and i like to know peoples views and thoughts on becoming vegan. I can't really know if your kind of sending this message in an angry way or not, but i already apologized.
Okay first of all just glad to know your not mad. Second that post that said the egg and milk thing, i said that because i literally eat meat once a month. I dont even consider it part of my diet, i do it simply to make sure i am not protein difficient. Its the only thing in my diet that isn't raw which is exactly what is in my original post. The whole point of this thread was to ask about dehydrating meat so that when i do eat meat once a month i dont have to eat it cooked and when i made the thread i wasn't aware that this was for vegans only.
Thanks for the support everyone
