Let's have mechanically separated chicken for dinner tonight.

AFAIK, there is no significant difference between natural "crude" diets and and natural diets involving cooking, though I've heard (not myself read the research) that there could be some benefits.

VERY WRONG.

As anyone who's ever fried an egg can clearly see, application of heat to organic molecules causes a de-naturation process in which proteins fold into shapes that would never, EVER be found in our "natural" diet.

Oddly enough, it tends to make our food more nutricious, not less so.

I'm still confused. Why the **** does everyone seem to be arguing about food packed with chemicals and **** being somehow good for you? I'm not a vegetarian and I eat a lot of ****ty processed food, but claiming its not unhealthy seems hella stupid.

But if cooked food were somehow good for you then doesn't that call into question his first four rules. Gosh, I wonder how he's going to explain that with his universal expertise.

Edit:

Humans have been cooking food for ~200,000 years.
In the past 50 years, ~5,000 chemicals have been introduced in our organisms.

Let logic be the judge.

As part of a balanced diet it's perfectly safe to eat pink slime.

Who exactly is eating pink slime as part of a balanced diet? Even if some people are, isn't the concern here that an awful lot of people are eating it as part of a very unhealthy diet, especially a lot of children?

[Felch]

Very few Americans eat a balanced diet, but that doesn't mean that pink slime is to blame.

Logic says that 200,000 years ago evolution had not yet adapted us to cooked foods, yet cooking added such an advantage that we never stopped.

Until hippies showed up and declared it "un-natural".

I think if you did a study, and fed one sample group cooked eggs, and the other raw eggs, over the course of 106 weeks you would see a significant difference in health levels.

Of course, the causality of pirates over climate is the exact same as the causality of food over biological health.

Keep rocking

If you fed group 1 a raw but balanced diet, and group 2 a non-raw balanced diet, you would see no difference, or very little (AFAIK).
