In regards to eating meat

[@ndy]

I don't have a problem with raw food at all, and I'm sure it is very healthy.

I just well, I believe in sourcing and growing products locally. Seasonal local products are in tune with us. When your living somewhere like the north of England or Scotland, the food that is naturally around winter time are root veg, barley oats and such.
The weather is cold and there are weeks when you see no sunlight - the sunlight you do get isn't strong enough for your skin to make Vit D.

I could be wrong, but for a healthy raw food diet at this time of year are you not going to have to really on an awful lot of imported items?
In the summer I ear hardly anything, I don't feel I need to I have energy in bounds and feel healthy and warm all the time.
In the winter then I crave foods like porridge and warm thick soups.
Didn't different diets evolve due to people moving and adapting to the environment they found them selves in?

I try to have a diet in tune with the local environment and time of year - we grow food all year round and forage. Diets including meat were the norm of people in colder areas due to sheep/goats grazing on land not favourable for crops ect…. High protein veg items aren’t so easily grown in colder areas.
Hill farming/fishing in these places have been how people evolved and were able to live there.
