Human beings are getting fatter and sicker. As we question what we
eat and why we eat it, this book argues that living well involves
consuming a raw vegan diet. With eating healthfully and eating
ethically being simpler said than done, this book argues that the
best solution to health, environmental, and ethical problems
concerning animals is raw veganism-the human diet. The human diet
is what humans are naturally designed to eat, and that is, a raw
vegan diet of fruit, tender leafy greens, and occasionally nuts and
seeds. While veganism raises challenging questions over the ethics
of consuming animal products, while also considering the
environmental impact of the agriculture industry, raw veganism goes
a step further and argues that consuming cooked food is also
detrimental to our health and the environment. Cooking foods allows
us to eat food that is not otherwise fit for human consumption and
in an age that promotes eating foods in 'moderation' and having
'balanced' diets, this raises the question of why we are eating
foods that should only be consumed in moderation at all, as
moderation clearly implies they aren't good for us. In addition,
from an environmental perspective, the use of stoves, ovens and
microwaves for cooking contributes significantly to energy
consumption and cooking in general generates excessive waste of
food and resources. Thus, this book maintains that living well and
living a noble life, that is, good physical and moral health,
requires consuming a raw vegan diet. Exploring the scientific and
philosophical aspects of raw veganism, this novel book is essential
reading for all interested in promoting ethical, healthful, and
sustainable diets.
