And people eating a raw diet don't get colds? Ever? Or cancer or other other diseases? They're embodiments of perfect health their whole lives? I doubt it.

Animals in the wild do get diseases. Rabies, for example. A squirrel or racoon or other animal in the middle of the woods with no people around still gets ill. Not all animals die of old age or trauma/attack. Where is your support for the claim that all disease is caused by cooked food? That's a pretty strong statement to make without support (more than a chapter in a book by raw-food-activists---where is their support?). There are many animal illnesses. Why do whales beach themselves. The manatee die off? The list goes on.

You're right. There are many chemicals in our foods. But, processed food is very different than cooked food. You can't use the argument of one to support the other.

You are absolutely right! It is your responsibility. It's all our responsibilites. We can't blame anyone else. We are need to learn about our condition (which everyone on this list does), and act to address it (again, we all are). You found that the raw foods helps. I'm happy for you. I just don't buy all your claims. But I'm glad you feel good.
