RAW-ten, I tried it & failed!

You guys ever wonder where we would be if our hominid ancestors had not discovered fire? Like the omnivorous bears...we would still be eating raw seeds & berries, cold starchy tubers....dinosaur tartare! There is a new diet (can't say catching fire)...the "raw food" movement, they say that food that sustains our bodies to the highest nutrional level is straight from the vine, and fresh from the earth..and that cooking compromises the vitamins and minerals! Acrylamide,they say, is a cancer-causing formation created by high temperatures in roasting, frying and baking! I tried and I failed, lasted a few days...6! I did not get the sparkling eyes, the glowing skin....the extra vim & vigor! I really tried; but "cheeze" made by blending raw nuts, "noodles" that were really grated zucchini, "crackers" made from dehydrated chick peas..."pancakes were patties made from flaxseed & cocnut oil! There are a million recipes...and the only appliances I used was my blender, dehydrator & sprouter.....but I think we humans, must have adapted to cooked foods in a way that no longer allows us to efficiently process raw foods! I now, know that I will benefit from the greater consumption of "raw" foods, but I am certain, I will not compromise my life adding some chicken, fish, beef! So, I have fessed up my New Year's failure...did you succeed..and have you tried this diet?
