Why I Am So Clever
Humans are "strange" and smart animals, and
according to a new study out in this month's issue of Genome
Biology, it may be because we're such
good cooks.
The authors compared apes and humans and found that the biggest, most important differences weren't in brain size, but in metabolism.
We had huge heads, but were still making "the same very boring stone tools for almost 2 million years." It wasn't until we started throwing mastodon onto the BBQ that things really got rolling:
In most animals, the gut needs a lot of energy to grind out nourishment from food sources. But cooking, by breaking down fibers and making nutrients more readily available, is a way of processing food outside the body. Eating (mostly) cooked meals would have lessened the energy needs of our digestion systems, Khaitovich explained, thereby freeing up calories for our brains....
The finding suggests that increased access to calories spurred our cognitive advances, said Khaitovich, carefully adding that definitive claims of causation are premature.
One interesting upshot: Raw food diets may not be a very good idea. The study's author blamed raw foodism for causing "very severe health problems."

Raw food diets have always been bad. Parasites and digestion problems.

Of course, I eat steak medium rare. I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to not taste a little bit of blood with my meal. Fuck tofu!

My favorite fun fact about unfermented soy is that it contains a

Is there any dumb ass idea that some hippie somewhere won't latch
onto as a healthy way to live?
Freegans - eating garbage
Raw Food Diets - forgeting how to cook
Organic - forgeting how to farm in the 20th Century

Elemenope,
I need a link. I don't bartend in casino beverage anymore. I've
moved over to the Asian restaurant in the casino. Works around my
school way better. Everything we serve seems to have tofu in
it.

So I guess we really do owe Prometheus in a big way.
Raw fish and meat is too good to not have, parasite and digestion

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that eating meat gives a
similar metabolic advantage - it is simply the most concetrated
source of nutrition - both protein and calories, available.
Being a vegetarian, and especially a vegan, is basically a luxury
made accessible by living in a relatively advanced society.
|8.14.08 @ 3:01PM|#
"Being a vegetarian, and especially a vegan, is basically a

Pretty much. But that should be obvious by the fact that primative
man ate meat. It is not like he hunted for fun. Given a choice what
would you rather do pick a fruit off of a tree or take on a deer or
wild bore and try to kill it? Hunting is a dangerous activity.
Early man would have never done it unless it gave him some kind of
advantage necessary to survival.
|8.14.08 @ 3:02PM|#
dbcooper,
That makes sense, but the article implies that the big brain and
smaller jaw largely (perhaps not entirely) preceded the evidence of
cooking.
Episiarch|8.14.08 @ 3:03PM|#

Hey Shelby, I read it in a review paper a few years ago. Perhaps those features already existed, but were more favoured and became more prevalent thanks to cooked food?

John,
Maybe. On the other hand a lot of people hunt for fun, even when
it's dangerous -- I'm in the middle of "Undaunted Courage," about
the Lewis & Clark expedition, and Lewis sure does enjoy taking
on grizzly bears despite saying they're scarier than two
Indians.

True, but I just can't see thrill seeking being much a part of
early man's thinking. If you are living on the plains of Africa

the biggest concern.

The rice is pretty high in caloric value, and not to low GI

Was there ever any doubt about this? I mean in the serious
nutritional health community.
Most vegetarians I know don't look so fit either. I'm also of the
opinion that vegetarianism is psychologically unhealthy. This is
just my own BS theory that comes from my experience with
vegetarians.
Furthermore I'm convinced that one needs to kill and butcher an
animal every once in a while. Even amongst the meat eaters, too
many think it comes wrapped in paper from the butcher. However if
done to often this can result in another psychological problem
known as Motor City Madness.

You're not tired after being full up with sushi? Maybe you ought to
overindulge. I do, and I can say with certainty it is not sake'
that is making me sleepy.
J|8.14.08 @ 3:26PM|#
From the perspective of the article, as long as you have enough
calories to make up for those used in digestion (etc), it wouldn't
matter how much you like things cooked now. (At least, from the
point they are making - there are other health hazards to
undercooked and uncooked food)
So you're rare steak and sushi won't make you dumb.
Elemenope|8.14.08 @ 3:27PM|#
Naga Sadow --
From Wikipedia article on 'Soy':
A 2001 literature review suggested that women with current or
past breast cancer should be aware of the risks of potential tumor
growth when taking soy products, based on the effect of
phytoestrogens to promote breast cancer cell growth in
animals.[48]
A 2006 commentary reviewed the relationship with soy and breast
cancer. They stated that soy may prevent breast cancer, but
cautioned that the impact of isoflavones on breast tissue needs to
be evaluated at the cellular level in women at high risk for breast
cancer.[49]
Because of the phytoestrogen content, some studies, but not all,
have suggested that there is an inverse correlation between soybean
ingestion and testosterone in men.[50] For this reason, they may
protect against the development of prostate cancer.[51] A
theoretical decrease in the risk of prostate cancer should,
however, be weighed against the possible side-effects of decreased
testosterone, which are still unclear. The popular fear that
soybeans might cause reduced libido and even feminine
characteristics in men has not been indicated by any study; the
popularity of the notion seems to be based on the simplistic
misapprehension that estrogen and testosterone have a simple,
inverse relationship in sexual hormone systems and sex-related
behaviour. Their interplay is very complicated and largely still
unknown.[52]
Studies published in July 2008 shows that Soy products and more
specifically the phytoestrogen it contains might lower a mans sperm
count.[53]
As an aside, much of the soy in traditional Asian cuisine has been
fermented, a process which (among other things) destroys the
estrogens.

my suggestion is just some BS that I thought of. But OTOH it's a
genuine reaction to too often encountering people reacting to
something they don't understand. I actually do think that we'd all
be better off if once a year or so everyone killed and ate
something. Going off the grid sounds good too. I'd be good if more
people understood what it takes to make water come out of the
faucet, as well as flush your poo away, too.

OK, what I'm making for dinner tonight. I've been toying with the
grilled pizza and have finally got it down. So, I'm going to take
some leftover shredded smoked beef brisket, mix it with homemade
BBQ sauce and spread it on the dough. I'm going to top it with
pan-fried Yukon Gold potato slices and onions. For cheese, a nice
smoked provolone and maybe a sprinkle of chipotle powder.
Fuck, now I'm hungry.

|8.14.08 @ 4:51PM|#
Raw food diets are not unhealthy per se, just as cooked food diets are not healthy per se. It depends on WHAT you eat and how much of it you eat. As for safety, for every "parasite" claim against raw foods you will get a "mad cow disease," "salmonella," "hormones" and other similar response regarding the unhealthy meat supply. Neither form of eating is a panacea for all ills. Directing anger at people who eat differently than we do or believing ourselves to be superior because of what we choose to eat is childish. If you eat meat, eat meat. If you don't, don't. If what you are eating is bad for you, believe me, you will find out in the end.

Kwix - From this article, speaking of a group of children fed a vegan diet:
Although their body fat measurements were normal, the children, on average, were shorter and weighed less than children fed a mixed animal-and-plant diet. The strict vegan diet is so high in fibrous material that young children often cannot eat enough to obtain needed calories and nutrients, according to researchers who have studied this diet.
I'm having trouble finding a cite about vegan diet lowering IQ... the Google hits about high IQ children being more likely to become vegetarians is drowning everything else out.

And lo did I make my pizza and it was good.
Actually, I love all the pizzas. I make all the pizza styles,
depending on mood and weather. (Deep dish in the winter.) The good
thing about the grill is how hot you can get it. With natural lump
charcoal, it's easy to get it up over a 1000 degrees. Cast iron
grates help as well. The pizza bottom sets after only a few seconds
and takes on a wonderful char. After about two minutes, lower the
coal shelf, divide the charcoal on either side, and the top will
set and melt the cheese in about another 4 minutes.
The grill is also a good way to make egg pizzas as
well.

Khaitovich is not clever; he's misguided. Fresh ripe fruits, leafy greens, and a few nuts and seeds, provide all the nutritional and coloric needs of humans! Fresh ripe sweet fruit is the easiest food to digest and provides an abundance of healthy calories balanced with minerals and other nutrients. Increasing thousands of people lead optimally healthy lives while their cooked food eating neighbors suffer from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and all the awful degenerative conditions we hear about every day. Cooked food is killing us, especially cooked animal products which are the main contributor to most if not all degenerative disease. Look up Pottinger's Cats study!
