How do you prepare meat on a raw food diet?

I was considering becoming a raw foodist but i'd like to get my facts straight first. i understand you typically eat meat from grass-fed cattle or whatever, but how do you prepare it? wouldn't it be dangerous to eat it undercooked or raw? same goes for unpasteurised dairy products. can anyone please tell me the risks/benefits and how you prepare it.How do you prepare meat on a raw food diet?
All organic, grass-fed animals are routinely given deworming medicines, etc so that it's impossible to get parasites from them. If you have have a phobia, some people used cayenne pepper, garlic, and wormwood herbal tincture as well as pumpkin seeds to counter worms/parasites as they are supposed to be effective in that regard.



Another alternative for people is to either freeze raw meats for two weeks or to marinate the raw meats(mainly raw fish) in freshly-squeezed lemon juice for 8-24 hours (just look online under the term "Ceviche recipes." The former method is rather way over the top, and harms the raw meat as freezing, while not as bad as cooking, can lower nutrients in the raw meat. The second method is used quite often, especially by beginners to raw-meat diets, as it takes a while to get used to the taste(raw meat marinated in lemon is supposed to taste much like cooked meat).



Poultry is fine to eat if from free-range, organic sources. Unfortunately, most birds are fed with grains which is unnatural, but some of the more honest, smaller organic farmers do allow the birds to also feed on insects, earthworms and other (more natural) parts of their diet. Some people have problems with raw egg consumption as chickens are routinely fed lots of grain to encourage unnatural egg-laying all-year-round, and a few people don't react well to eggs, as a result.How do you prepare meat on a raw food diet?
This is a very interesting question, as most "raw foodist" that I know are all vegan. However, I've read about people who eat everything just so it's raw. This can be quite dangerous unless you definitely know the farmer who is raising the livestock and can be certain that they are not pumping the animals up with antibiotics, hormones, steroids, etc..., that the animals are being fed the proper food, and how humanely they are being treated. (In-humane treatment of animals accounts for many diseases spread to humans who consume them!)



Are these animals raised 100% on being grass-fed for their entire lives? Many of the industrial "factory farmers," for instance, leave their cattle out to pasture but the last months of the cattle's lives, they are brought in, caged up, and fed corn/grain to fatten them up. (This will increase their weight by about 300 pounds and the caging is very inhumane!) Likewise, egg-bearing chickens can be "cage-free" and "free-range." It's best to go with cage-free because more certainly, they will never be caged up and are always free-range.



Seriously, Gabrielle, I would highly suggest before you begin this kind of raw food diet (consuming raw meat), is for you to get your hands on the book, The Food Revolution by John Robbins. (Your library may have it or can get it in.) I'm not trying to dissuade you, but only to give you another perspective on consuming meat, period.
This is the vegetarian section, sweetie. We don't eat meat, raw or cooked. I'm sure you could look up a raw foodist web site and find your answers.How do you prepare meat on a raw food diet?
The real question is are you sure you are in the right category or are you just trolling?
I don't believe raw foodists eat meat... it wouldn't be exactly safe.

But how would I know, this is the vegan/veg section. Stupid y!a category suggestions?How do you prepare meat on a raw food diet?
This is such an appropriate question to ask a vegan/vegetarian isn't it?
A raw food diet does not include meat. It is a form of vegetarian/vegan diet.
