I digest much better vegetables that are cooked than raw. Could it be that we are not adapted to eat raw vegetables but just adapted to eat "prepared" vegetables from an animial stomach? So therefore cooked vegetables are better for us then raw?

Or... maybe we're adapted to eating cooked vegetables. :) – Jay Sep 13 2011 at 22:39

I've heard folks refer to the veggies in animal's digestive tracts as being fermented rather than cooked. I think cooking is fine, but fermenting may be optimal

I've read that some native americans used to eat the intestines from freshly killed animals. It was sort of an eating race, one person at each end. (I sure hope I am remembering this correctly!) – none Sep 15 2011 at 19:24

I also have much less trouble with cooked veggies, but I don't know the scientific answer. I'm fond of raw veggies with oil & vinegar & celery salt but I do pay a price.

What about avocados? I'm experimenting with them. Olives are next. – Korion Sep 13 2011 at 17:39

Sadly, I pay the price too. – ROB Sep 13 2011 at 18:37

Olives and avocados are not vegetables, they are fruits! – Rogue Nutritionist Sep 13 2011 at 19:05

Could cooked vegetables be compared to vegetables in an animal stomach?
