Ok, so now that I have your attention...I'm sure you guys remember the whole Boutenko family having all those health problems after all those years of raw foods. Victoria ended up doing some studies about chimps, since they are basically 99% similar in DNA. She found that they eat mostly leafy greens in their diet. So she implemented tons of leafy greens and they all became better. Her thoughts were that since we share very similar DNA with the chimps that we should be eating like them. Now, I know that that 1% of difference in DNA can mean a lot since we obviously do not look like chimps. :D I've seen what chimps eat and they do have a very small amount of animal products in their diet. In fact, if we look at almost all mammal species they all have some sort of animal product in one way, shape or form. The chimps occationally feast on insects. I'm not saying that we should all start eating bugs or meat but it does make me wonder if we should be getting some sort of animal product on rare occasions like most mammals.
Any thoughts, opinions are welcome! I'm curious to see what you guys think about this. :)
