"The problem is that people do not understand the nuances of raw versus cooked. It's not as simple as: do you cook a vegetable or eat it raw? In fact, it goes far beyond vegetables and salads; you need to consider  the questions of raw meat, raw fish, and raw dairy for example.   And then there are the trade-offs.  Cooking enhances some nutrients – others are destroyed. When evaluating the issue of raw foods, you need to consider the effect of cooking or not cooking."
