If we are, as well as everything around us, made of code (molecules), then, wouldn’t it make sense to consume as close to source code (raw) as possible? Why are we consuming heavily modified code (heavily processed foods)?
I’m going to try a #WholeFoods #Diet with some #CleanEating.

Because source code is not as digestible by said machine. It needs to be compiled to produce machine code with links to libraries before it can be useful to us.
Okay, I agree that we should not eat heavily processed foods though cooking has been proven to make many food items digestible or at the least more digestible. I do not buy many pre-pocessed foods. I do buy my flour ready to use and do not grind it myself (the windmill broke down) but as a rule of thumb I do any of the processing that is necessary in my own kitchen. Always starting with whole foods when reasonable. The major problem our digestive system has with the processed foods we buy from the store is the additives and preservatives they add to them. Not the fact that they were processed. There is a huge raw food cult going on in many areas these days though they tend to forget that cooking our food has saved us from many nasty bacteria and such over the years. I am not goi

I am not going to start an all vegetable and fruit diet either. We are omnivorous and we are most healthy when we eat a balanced diet. Though I do eat my beef near raw 😉 if that helps!
