>Eating dead animal flesh

i can't help but think myoglobin is a bit gay

had steak tartare once at a french restaurant
tasted fine but made my tummy hurt :(

Humans are supposed to eat raw flesh. Look up the primal/carnivore diet. When you cook/thaw meat, you lose 25% of the protein

>>14369712
not if i mainline the rendered fat right into my arteries

>>14369712
Awesome man are u on primal?

raw calf liver from time to time is alright

>>14369712
>look at the carnivore diet
No I will not do your carnibald masculine-compensation diet

you should try eating a live cow next. drive out to the country side and werewolf a live one

>>14369712
and all the energy you spend digesting that shit will make you a dumbass

>>14369712
Lmao fucking kys retard

>>14369712
You realize we have proof of cooked meats and other foods dating back to millions of years, long before homo sapiens were even evolved? Raw food diets or carnivore diets or whatever you want to call them are not based on any pre-human lifestyle and involve a diet made up of foods that wouldn't even have existed (much less all in the same area) in the time they claim to be in

Do monkeys cook shit? No? Then at some point between them and us there was a raw flesh diet.

Protein function is dependent on protein folding. Overexciting protein molecules (through heat) denatures and ruins the proteins. Through random chance/bouncing of energy, it doesn't denature *all* of them, but it definitely ruins a percentage. Cooked meat dramatically advanced humanity not because of any nutritional advantage but because cooking destroys harmful microbes and other parasites (for the same reason that it destroys protein -- it hits theirs too). This allowed us to *safely* consume large amounts of protein and thereby increase our resources for brain development.

Nowadays, when we raise cattle in highly controlled environments and subject them to sophisticated health screening regularly. Cooking is not longer necessary. Therefore, it may be time to take another look at raw meat.

Enjoy your parasites, retard.

>>14369533
its a dumb meme

>>14371115
Is there a point to eating active proteins if your stomach acids are going to denature them and your digestive system will break them down into the amino acids anyways?

t. retard, go easy on me

>>14369533
Ideally you'd let it come up to room temp then give it a black and bleu up to about 110 F. Otherwise it's hard to eat because you need some of the fat melty.

>>14369712
most animals will eat grilled meat over raw if you give them the option

cooking does about half the work of digestion outside your body plus kills parasites and infections, enjoy this incomparable net benefit compliments of Prometheus

I used to eat raw beef in college, not a lot but I would pick a little off while cooking hamburgers

Please tell me what school you went to. I honestly want to know.

You're a fucking imbecile. Cooking increases the bioavailability of calorie sources. We could literally not thermodynamically survive with our giant brains without cooking our food. It's not just hurr durr parasites.

Go study a real science, retard, and learn how to think.

>>14369533
WHY would you do that?

>>14369533
Luckily people like you will get diseases and parasites and naturally die off quicker than others. Thank god for darwinism.

>>14369712
Isn't it thought that cooking meat is literally what accelerated our evolution?

>>14371115
>Then at some point between them and us there was a raw flesh diet.
It wasn't between them and us, we did not become "us" until we had cooked meat.

>>14369533
i'll usually sous vide ribeye at 23 Degrees C

>>14369712
cooked food is easier to digest and you gain more calories from cooked food than if you eat it raw. Evolution cared more about calories than protein.

>>14369533
Raw meat eaters are mentally ill.

I don't think raw meat tastes as good as rare or blue rare, so I almost never waste meat by eating it raw. I have eaten plenty of raw steak though, mostly for the novelty factor. I'm not really too interested in eating healthy, so whether it's more or less healthy doesn't matter.

The real redpill is eating your pork chops rare. The difference between a well done pork chop and a rare pork chop is greater than the difference between well and rare steak. It's incredibly delicious, sweet, delicate, juicy. Consider this a warning: if you're not eating rare pork you're eating it wrong, and if you're afraid of getting sick, you sound just as dumb as a boomer who is afraid to eat rare steak or sushi. I eat it multiple times a week (for years now) and I've never been sick once. This is Walmart pork too, it's not even "fresh"

You know what they say

I will eat raw meat when I finally achieve my dream of staying with an indigenous host family in the arctic.

>>14369533

It's fine if you are first freezing it at a low enough temperature to kill off any possible parasites.

>>14369533
Enjoy your tapeworms

Great question. There's no perfect answer because A: there's a lot of contradictory information out there and B: not every protein/protein subunit responds the same way to environmental stresses. While it's true that the protein gets broken down into amino acids regardless, there is some evidence that certain amino acids (like lysine) cannot hold *themselves* together under high-heat conditions. If the amino acid itself breaks down, that's when you start losing nutritional value.

There is, however, much more consistent and compelling evidence that vitamins overwhelmingly break down in the presence of meat. Stomach acid is not designed to break down these molecules.

"Increase the bioavailability of calorie sources"
"thermodynamically survive"

Are you going to make an actual point or just spout big words that you don't understand?

in Germany 30 years ago raw steak tartar was an average breakfast
