Every species in the natural world eats instinctively according to its specific dietary requirements and anatomical makeup—that is, except for one: humans. Moreover, no other species in nature cooks its food before eating it aside from human beings and the domesticated animals that eat the food we feed them. As a result, no creature in the natural world is afflicted with the multitudinous health maladies that human beings and their domesticated pets often encounter as a result of the denatured food and drink items that they ingest: cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, degenerative diseases—the list goes on ad nauseam. Perfect health and vitality is the result effected from living in harmony with Natural Law and eating our species-specific diet. Carnivorous lions are designed to hunt and eat meat, bovines are ruminant herbivores and subsist on grass, and humans—well, for better or worse, humans are endowed with Free Will and are therefore afforded the freedom to act in opposition to what best serves us; either out of ignorance, or as a deliberate transgression.

It may come as a surprise to learn that the natural diet for human beings is a raw vegan diet. Contrary to popular belief, humans are not omnivores; nor are we herbivores. As our closest relative in the animal kingdom with whom we share 98.7% of our DNA is the frugivorous chimpanzee, so too are humans frugivores. A quick study in comparative anatomy will make this perfectly lucid. Everything from the pH of our stomach acid needed to digest certain foods as intended, to the shape of our teeth, the length of our intestinal tract, and so on, is that of a frugivore.

Incidentally, no other species indulges in animal products—such as milk—from another species other than its own. Cows do not drink milk from the mothers of a different species, nor do goats, nor any other species in nature for that matter. Cows drink their mother’s milk, and only at a specific period in the early developmental stage of their lives. We have adhered to the latter principle, but we have completely abandoned the former.

When humans migrated out of the tropics and into colder climates, we had to subsist on what we could find in order to survive in areas where plant foods simply would not grow. Therefore, we had to hunt to survive, and we had to thaw the meat from our hunts and defrost it in order to preserve it through the methods of freezing and utilizing fire. Many scientists hypothesize that this is where “cooking” our food came into the picture in the history of our species on this planet. Where the argument for human beings as omnivorous meat-eaters goes astray is simply a matter of evolution versus adaptation and a conflation of two entirely different concepts. The natural diet for frugivores, and consequently human beings, consists of ripe fruits, vegetables, sprouts, nuts, and seeds—uncooked and in their natural state, just as nature intended.
