They are vital to health and vitality~

I know that this sounds strange but I am a believer in the works of Rudolph Steiner... His lectures are old and in some ways medically outdated but they are interesting conceptually and make sense on levels that I believe that modern medical sciences fail to touch on.

Read his stuff! It is an interesting alternative to modern medical reasons and diagnosis. Based in both science and metaphysics.

Answer 2

We are descended from primates.

Our body needs vital amino acids/proteins and minerals to survive due to the process of evolution, and as a result our bodies require food according to our physical needs.

Our teeth have a few canines but most are molars and premolars designed for chewing up fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. We can eat meat and fish but we have the same stomach acid pH as a cow - this is quite unlike sharks and other carnivores who can produce their own supply of vitamin C and have very strong acid levels in their stomachs.

Fruits and vegetables will lose goodness once they are removed from a tree or bush so fresh, organic and local are the most nutritious. Forget the microwave and the new silly diet regimes - our bodies were never designed to eat this mulch and our bodies have not changed too much in 50,000 years.
