Hi Kath, Yes, I agree with you, everything has a time and a place, both raw and cooked. We don't want to be excessive in anything. But, the fact that iron is more easily absorbed from meat, demonstrates to me that a little in the diet is a good thing. Hey Christy,

Hi Kath,
Yes, I agree with you, everything has a time and a place, both raw and cooked. We don’t want to be excessive in anything. But, the fact that iron is more easily absorbed from meat, demonstrates to me that a little in the diet is a good thing.

And iron deficiency is a very important concern, as plant iron isn't absorbed nearly as well as heme-iron from meat. Clearly we are a species that evolved eating meat and cooked foods. That doesn't mean that they are the healthiest choices all the time or that raw foods aren't a very healthy way to eat, but it is an argument that meat and cooked foods have a time and place in the human diet if the person so chooses to eat them morally. <abbr><em>Kath’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.katheats.com/pecan-party/" rel="nofollow">Pecan Party</a></abbr></em> I love what you said about the human population being wiped out – very true.
