Is it too extreme to say that the current raw food diets are a glorified and socially acceptable form of anorexia?

Asked by Noon (1900points) September 16th, 2009

I have just finished reading “Catching Fire: How Cooking Made us Human”—Richard Wrangham, and although his book goes much farther than just talking about the raw food craze, he does dedicate a portion of the book to several studies that make strong claim that our bodies are not designed to live off raw food, and doing so is essentially a kind of starvation. Thoughts? Any peer reviewed evidence to the contrary?
