    we cooked food before we even knew about 'things living in it'
    But not before we knew it would harm us otherwise. I don't think so anyways.

    that germ shit is a farce anyway
    Oh? Please elaborate.

    in theory we shouldn't, but it doesn't apply for us in the present, too much disesage + contamination etc.....
    In the past it was the same.
    And what shall we toast?

    where are you coming from with this stuff bro?

    was there domes of smog covering populated areas in the past?



    not cooking food doesnt 'harm' us
    it is simply that some foods cannot be eaten otherwise


    do you know how much bacteria lives in the digestive system?

    Thats got very little to do with the cooking process.

    do you know how much bacteria lives in the digestive system?
    And should they enter other parts of your body, they'll kill you.

    It does. Even healthy foods and drinks you often can't handle without cooking. Thats why they have you boil your water in the wilderess.

    the thirst will boil it ...


    does any of you think that our organisms react in a different manner (as in more effectively) in life or death situations ? if so what could cause it ?

    My guess would be, primal instincts kicking in, you react more like an animal than a rational human being.

    No. You can't really cook pollution out of your food.

    you mean they will cause a reaction
    Yep. One that is potentially fatal. E. Coli is a prime example. Yes, it lives inside you. That does't make it harmless though.

    if you are thirsty enough
    you dont need to boil nothing
    Yes you do. If it would've harmed you without thirst, it will harm you with thirst.

    actually we dont technically "have" to cook our food.

    before we humans harnessed fire we didnt "cook" our food and we (relatively) did just fine...its just that once fire was harnessed, the unexpected benefit that was quickly realized was that if flesh is touched by fire it becomes alot easier to chew.

    of course its alot more complicated than this, but thats the gist of it.

    most of them died before they could reach 25 years. some sort of contamination or poisoning from food was sometimes the case for the death.

    Don't play stupid, this is a section for people with intelligent full bodied responses that can bring topics in a positive direction. Not one for 2 sentence answers with no relevance to the topic at hand. If you're bored and you want to have quick convo's the place is General Chat. You can get banned for doing stuff like this.
