We Like it Raw: The Primal Diet

Welcome to the 39th episode of the Back to Human Podcast. On this episode I had the pleasure of Eatrawmeat who has been following the primal diet for the past 6 years. The primal diet may seem quite controversial as it consists of consuming raw foods, including raw meat. On this episode we talk about: • What did Eatrawmeat eat growing up and how did he get introduced to the primal diet? • What obstacles did Eatrawmeat have to overcome when transitioning to the primal diet? • What health issues improved for Eatrawmeat as a result of switching to raw foods? • The work of Aajonus Vonderplanitz • How growing up in America is like growing up in a "food cage" • What detox symptoms did Eatrawmeat experience and how did he know that he was detoxing? • How we have the tendency to seek comfort when we are sick and choose to suppress symptoms • How does Eatrawmeat source and store his meats? • What is the harm in cooking food? • Is salt good for us? • Do we need to be drinking as much water if we are consuming a lot of fats? • Is there any concerns of consuming parasites or harmful bacteria? • Could mold, bacteria and parasites be beneficial? • What is high meat? • Does Eatrawmeat ever consume cooked foods? • What is Eatrawmeat's favorite cut of meat? • What advice does Eatrawmeat have for anyone interesting in beginning the primal diet?
