It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change"
Charles Darwin



This quote ment alot to me so i decided to post it.

That is so true!

So how does this fit in with a raw food lifestyle? Are we the "change" or are we not adaptable to change?

rufio,

I think it's obvious that we are the adapters--SAD eaters are rigid about their poor diet and that's why their health fails, they have a high rate of infertility, and they die prematurely. Darwinism at work, as I say.

Nah I don't go along with that Tamukha. Fat, poor people are likely to reproduce a lot.

"Darwinism at work" is people not having children, pure and simple. There's no reason to think that it's superior to be on the side of Darwinism.

We have enough humans, what we need to try to do is give *any* human a chance of survival in the future.

SuperI,

No, you don't understand: Darwinism At Work is when any human makes a decision ensuring their own, or their DNA's, demise--they are not "the Fittingest," and are consequently eliminated.

Poor fat people(don't know why you use the qualification, as many unhealthy people are bone thin and middle class) don't necessarily have many children here in the States. The rate of infertility amongst SAD eaters[of whatever socio-economic background] is high, and I would bet this is becoming true of the rate of childhood cancers that prove fatal, limiting continuance of that gene pool. Fertility is believed to be higher in raw or mostly raw populations.

I think there are way too many humans on this poor planet, but if humans persist, it will be the most plastic specimens of the species, the ones engaging in behavioral choices that are the most prudent and genetic longevity-promoting. Arguably,among these groups must be raw foodists. Too bad there aren't stats to back me up
