John from http://www.okraw.com/ responds to your comments and questions from his recent video, "26 Year Raw Vegan Now Eats Cooked Food for Better Health" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXLmvGeKRo8 which caused controversy from fruitarians, raw vegans, cooked food vegans, meat-eaters, and more!
You will discover WHY John started eating ~10% of his calories from heat-processed plant foods after living on a 99% raw plant-based diet since 1995. You will discover why he feels it is important to do so at this time.
John will then respond to some of the comments left under that video sharing his views and clarifying his position on the following comments and questions:
03:58 Where can I get that necklace?
04:10 The beginning of the end of your raw vegan diet. Your brain will shut down and You will start eating meat
06:40 Eating 2000 Calories on a Raw diet of tropical fruit is essential
08:30 Eat Raw Liver- that's the most nutrient-dense superfood on the planet
09:10 When we don't live in the tropics high raw is the next best option
10:40 You should look into fermented purple cabbage for anthocyanins
11:16 How do you cook the food in the instant pot?
12:32 Raw is cool, but nutrients are much more available when heated
14:54 If stomach acid is ow you can't digest raw food well. I need to steam vegetables
15:40 You should have a more positive title; you are attracting meat-eaters
16:32 I fermented Japanese eggplants. Have you?
17:36 Thanks for helping me move past the 100% raw dogmatic thought process
18:22 Do you eat Natto or take a K2 supplement?
19:58 I think cooked food is doing good for you in my opinion
20:22 If a person with a garden can't be raw no one can
21:50 Do you do any seasonal fermentations for your staples?
23:18 When on a raw food diet, each time I ate cooked food, I fell off the wagon. Any thoughts on this?
26:22 Good Video, but raw is more nutritious. Cooked vegetables are a treat but for the highest nutrition: fruit
27:32 Would you eat steamed plantains? they are so good.
28:22 Cooking food is the 1st deadly sin. Cooked is Addictive. He is Backsliding and dares to come on here and pretend it's a supplement. Raw foodists don't need B12 unless they eat animal products. John has wild ideas like "vacuum blending"
35:32 90% of your antioxidants come from your own body and 10% come from your food. So if you want to detox I would say take care of your microbiome.
38:26 Going Vegan and eating well is key starchy food that will make you feel full and satisfied.
40:56 Raw is crazy! There is evidence we have been cooking food for over 100,000 years.
42:26 I agree with you. Are you familiar with Dr. Michael Gregor?
46:32 Step into the next healthy level of choices: MEAT! It's time to thrive instead of surviving being a raw vegan
50:02 But doesn't cooked food cause toxicity and leukocytosis?
50:50 You'll go back to raw soon. Your body will hate cooked food. Your poop will start smelling
52:44 I bet in 1 year you are eating less raw
53:30 I recently heard people should not eat a lot of fruit because it has too much sugar and promotes cancer. What do you think?
55:14 If you have to heat process foods to eat them; maybe we should not be eating them.
58:22 You need ANIMAL products big-time John. It's all the carbs & processed foods that are hurting you.
1:00:12 I am really glad you are eating cooked food in your diet. I hope you will realize the benefits of animal proteins.
1:03:02 Super disappointing to see one of the leaders of raw foods rationalizing eating denatured foods. You must have been scared by a doctor or going out with a girl who is not raw and she is influencing you. Admit it you are backsliding. Don't make it out as being educational.
