Requesting a data point: did your heuristics point to me being a proponent of raw foodism and trying to sneak in my ideology? I hadn’t even read about it before I made my comment.
I don’t encounter many people in my life who care about particular diets much and count myself amongst them. In fact, I know none irl. Do you find this unusual?
I don’t know a lot of people who do much with their diet. Offhand, I know two ex-vegetarians who still eat very little meat, one person who did CR for a few years, and one person who gave himself an eating disorder (I hope he’s over it) by following a claimed-to-be- healthy diet which was much too low calorie for him. Oh, and a woman who seems to be doing well on the same diet. And two people who are following some complicated diet which involves different types of food on a cycle. They’ve lost weight, but I’m dubious about their ability to maintain it. Rather more people than I thought before I started listing.
I know two people who are serious about supplements. One of them limits carbs drastically.
“Nutrition is the mind-killer.” Definitely true, and funny.
I’ve done a little survey about the effects of trying to lose weight, if you’d like to see some mind-killing and some non-mind-killed people. I’m trying to figure out how to deal with (other people’s) compulsion to give advice. Forbid it, or let it roar?
I’m not sure why there not being any would tell us anything, because cooking is common knowledge everywhere by now, and there are other reasons to cook food than nutrition.
Could be so, but that’s idle speculation and I’d still test the hypothesis before accepting it :)
Are there any pre-modern societies which live on raw food?

I didn’t assume you were a raw food proponent.
