If humans were meant to eat plants why don't they eat all plants raw?

Drusilla dear, don't make Dr. Skummy block you. I am far too superior to allow that sort of comment, but in the spirit of the birth of Our Savior I shall allow you this present.

Ever hear of raw foodism? :)

I was under the impression that the vast majority of plants could be eaten raw, and are...

They suffer more when they are cooked.

Many of us DO. With a few exceptions I find Veggies best RAW.

Slaint茅(to your health)

Lots of people do. I don't recall ever cooking a strawberry before I ate it. I'd sooner eat a raw carrot than a raw hunk of beef, and I bet in a survey you'd find more people who had done the former than the latter.

Uh, I eat a lot of vegetables raw. Actually, I don't really like cooked ones so I eat mostly raw ones.

A great many people DO eat all plants raw.

You probably asking this question because you think that its an argument against people who are not eating meat. Lol. But, I will answer you. This is right, we should eat plants raw. And in fact many people around the world are doing that (crudivorism). Human were not meant to eat plants, but fruits in fact. Human were not meant to eat seed for exemple. That's why we have to coock them (like weat, rice, lentils) in order to be able to eat that kind of food. So the evidence is: humans were meant to eat fruits and we usualy eat them raw.
I dont mean that we should stop coock plants and cereals (seeds). It is a cultural heritage, this is a way to have more variety and if we dont abuse that kind of food, it is not really un-healthy. Meat is different, because when you choose to eat meat, you have to ask yourself "is my wish to have the taste of meat in my mouth greater than the wish of this animal to continue to live, to be happy and to grow-up by himself?". You cant ask the same question for a plant, as a plant cant have "wishes". And if someone think seriously a plant have wishes, then probably the wishes of any fruits-tree is to find someone to bring the fruits, to eat them and to let the seed fall-down somewhere it can grow-up. So, to everybody who is telling that plant can have "wishes", being fruitarian and then come here to help the one who are "only" vegetarian or vegan, to follow you.
Regards.

Really! I'd love to see how those self-righteous morons attempt to justify that one!

They can and they do, never heard of fruitarians.

Unlike like meat you can pick an apple off the ground or a tree or any other fruit off a tree in an ochard judge for yourself if its ok, give it a pick clean and eat it on the spot. You can't do the same with the corpse of an animal without cooking it.

Some people do. Many plants can be eaten raw but most animals are not.

because they taste bad raw = D
lol

Why? Because I don't need to be ANY more constipated, THAT'S why.
