RE: ADSactly Food - 🍛Beef and Ale Stew🍛
Basically, we are what we eat. I read an article that states the food we eat affects our emotion and behavior. They stresses that people who always eat meat often times so irritable and got angry easily, this is due to accumulated acid becuase of the meat when digest it turns into acidic.
If possible, eating raw vege is much more healthier than cooking eat but some of the vege needs to be cooked to eat. Juicing also is one of the best way to be healthy :)
This is such a common misconception @elizahfhaye. When you eat raw vegetables it's very difficult for the body to extract the nutrition as the minerals are locked in the fibres. It's true that cooking them destroys some nutrients, but it also makes them more bioavailable (absorbable by the body.)
Moreover, juicing is not that healthful at all, especially fruit, which is mostly sugar and water. It's imbalanced because all the fiber is extracted. Of course, the minerals do get concentrated, which is nice. Carrot juice provides some nice calcium and other microminerals.
Lastly, there are many myths about meat-eating. One of them is that meat eaters have more anger problems than vegans/vegetarians. Actually, vegans especially have some of the worst anger issues because they get almost no bioavailable zinc to counterbalance the copper toxicity of a completely vegetable diet. Meat eaters tend to be more calm unless they eat huge amounts of red meat every day, or just overdo it.
Meat, eaten in moderation, can be considered a superfood supplement. It's a very nutrient-dense source of macro and micro minerals that are nearly unable to be obtained from the nutritionally depleted produce of the modern world.
This repeated hearsay about the body becoming acidic, meat anger, raw being best, juicing being healthy, etc. is damaging, because it is simply regurgitated without deeper study into biochemistry.

Thanks for these great comments @d-pend and @elizahfhaye. It's good to see that our posts evoke such interesting conversations, and it's cool to see both sides of the debate laid out like this.
