I eat most of my vegetables raw. Even made a bitpost about it two years ago if I remember right.

The time you save by not cooking your food has to be invest in more chewing though. So overall there is not much time saving. But since it is not cooked you can normally eat it wherever you want because it is still crisp and not wishy-washy.
I like that very much, because I normally always did some media consumption or other stuff while eating but I recently stopped that and now I am trying to concentrate on eating when I eat.

When heating some foods it is said, that some ingredients are being transformed or deactivated which aren't that healthy for humans.
However, the dosage makes the poison so I am not sure how "true" that statement is.

But cooking obviously transforms some food ingredients so it probably makes sense to cook some indigestable/poisonous foods, where nasty stuff is transformed or deactivated through heat.

But I am very curious, that we heat or cook most of our foods except for fruits.
Even most seeds and nuts you can buy in the supermarket are heated during the process. Most of the time to a temperature above 40 degree Celsius where it is said, that some proteins already start to disintegrate and transform.
Was quite a surprise when my girlfriend told me, since I thought that nuts are one the most natural and raw foods one could get at the supermarket. Would have never thought, that they are being heated.
