That is the biggest pile of bullshit nothingburger I’ve seen on lemmy. Utter trash article full of outright falsehoods, half truths, and horrible misunderstanding of things.
Like, they went in about the decrease in b vitamins in raw beef and pork after heating. Milk too, but you can drink milk raw safely. Of course the fucking b vitamins are decreased when heated. Good luck with your inevitable tapeworm, e-coli, and/or salmonella infections from that nice, healthy meat.
Whomever wrote that is pandering to the type of person that only reads headlines and does no critical thinking. You’re 100% correct and it’s dangerous to promote that kind of easily debunked misinformation. This has no place on here and should be downvoted into oblivion.
And they’re convinced of the safety of a raw meat diet because of a single Instagram user purporting to have been consuming nothing but raw meat. Social media combined with gullible/ignorant people is such a cancer on the human race.
it is posted for discussion, and I think it stands unless you have some specific issue with it
There are people who advocate for raw-only diets, microwaving aside (they also oppose other heating methods)
b vitamins are decreased when heated. Good luck with your inevitable
It’s not intended to be inevitable, as there are people who heat with other methods, and even people who consume raw meat (or fermented meat) without issues
I certainly disagree with the response here and the downvotes rather than a discussion of the issues but thank you for offering some counter-view argument

They presented an issue with it, it is misleading. It does not indicate what other avenues of cooking do to food as a fair comparison.

I’m pretty sure none of those raw-only diets tell you to eat raw meat. If they do, that’s stupid. There are also people who advocate that the world is flat, does that mean that they are correct?

These people put their health at risk by doing so. Again, there are people who do all sorts of things “without issues” until they develop issues. People drink urine “without issues.” Should we all be drinking piss? No, that’s stupid. It is a risk to one’s health to eat raw meat. That’s it. No debate with science about that.

Not all view points merit deep discussion. Are you anti-vax too? I certainly disagree with your insanity proposing people eat raw meat. However, if you want to do that yourself, go ahead. I’ve learned sometimes people want to harm themselves and don’t listen to reason. It’s best to let them do that and hope they don’t spread their misinformation to harm others.
That’s another topic, although people have become skeptical about the shape of the earth after realizing certain photos of the earth were “composites” rather than actual pictures:
That is what is being argued by the OP article, that people in contrast put their health at risk by using microwaves
It is a risk to one’s health to eat raw meat
They’re saying it is a risk to one’s health to use a microwave to heat food, in contrast
Not all view points merit deep discussion
True, although it is unfortunate that some subjects which probably should have deeper discussion, don’t get the discussion needed
Are you anti-vax too
Vaccines have many problems; I’m open to vaccines possibly working, but sanitation may be more important (like quarantining and social distancing were used during lockdowns), they may be contaminated with toxic additives, they may be ineffective as recent flu vaccines have been, there are “free” alternatives that people might do like get Vitamin D by getting some sunshine that help prevent disease, there are financial incentives that may get in the way of recommending free alternative remedies, there is the placebo effect which may explain the “effectiveness” of some vaccines, and so on (to name some issues).
However, here’s a person who died this week due to an extreme raw food diet. You whackos usually can’t even take care of yourselves while doing this nonsense.
I mean they were a fruitarian (consumed fruit more exclusively), not really representative of all the raw foodists with more varied diets (I’m also not one myself)

And that’s the least empty bit in the whole thing

Did you see OP’s response? They’re fucking insane and advocating for raw food diets including raw meat.
And they’re convinced of the safety of a raw meat diet because of a single Instagram user purporting to have been consuming nothing but raw meat. Social media combined with gullible/ignorant people is such a cancer on the human race.
Just saw it now… 😩

You must be a troll.
