Who watched Wife Swap last night with that family that ate everything raw. What are your thoughts on doing that. The thought of eating raw meat, even if I raised it myself would definitely make me a vegetarian. It was just too much.

I think it would get boring eating food raw (I would not touch raw meat at all). Some nutrients are actually increased with cooking (lycopene being one), but flavour development often occurs during cooking, so I would not want to miss out on all those yummy cooked flavours. I can see the point with vitamins losses when food is cooked, but mineral content remains the same when food is cooked. That family was really a bit far out (but Wife Swap do that for more drama).

After seeing how these kids were being raised on this show and pondering what I just saw..."Only butter and clay toothpaste allowed? All germs are safe? Eating raw chicken even raw old beef? Your kids don't need to learn anything that doesn't have to do with their duties on the farm? Your kids are only allowed to eat raw dairy and uncooked meats? No clean hygeine allowed? Someone hand me a barf bag, I'm going to be sick! What on Gods green earth gave this practice a right to be forced upon kids? Did they forget about the diseases farm animals carry and the diseases that the wrong bacteria that like raw food products can do to harm someones body, especially children who do not possess much immunity? What killed me was when she licked the floor without a care, e-coli, salmonella, pseudomonas, staph and listera don't scare her! According to her all germs are welcome in her house and her kids can eat them too. I feel bad for the day that one of those family members becomes deathly ill from consuming a ruthless bug! Pray for those kids and shame on CPS.
