 I tried some raw lamb, but failed to even cut it to pieces with a knife. I just felt like  a lion trying to devour its prey and it put me off completely.  I ended up putting it all in the blender.

Do you grind it up first? Do you swallow whole pieces?

  It's been pointed out that wild carnivores don't chew their raw meat much, just bolting it down in chunks. Apparently, this makes the raw meat actually easier to digest. And rawists have noticed the same. Conversely, because of the lack of enzymes in cooked foods, one should make sure to chew all cooked foods thoroughly before swallowing them.

After literally ages on a RVAF diet, I have no problems with stuffing a raw wild hare carcass into my mouth and tearing raw chunks off it bit by bit, it's a lot easier than using a knife as one can get at pieces unaccessible by a standard meat-knife. That said, many newbies to these diets are squeamish about this sort of thing, so prefer using blenders or buying ground raw meat, which is fine. Oh, and get hold of a knife-sharpener for cutting raw muscle-meats and sharpen the knife before every usage, it's essential as cutting raw meat dulls the knife quite quickly.

I've always found its alot easier for newbies to swallow, as it allows them to adjust to eating raw meat, much quicker, as theyre taste buds are generally still damaged from & conditioned to low nutrition foods

Theyre tastebuds basically overload easily when chewing high nutritive foods, creating an instinctive response to dislike a substance it cant identify


I use curried spices to overload a persons damaged tastebuds with something it can recognise & tolerate, it also masks extreme flavours like raw liver & kidneys really well

If you're a newbie & want to eat organs as well as meat, try some curried spices, chaat massala is great, or a more basic blend with a high chilli powder ratio content to a low ratio of turmeric & curcumin

Lightly dip the curried meat into a cream & eat, no need to marinate


The cream prevents the spices from dying out the throat



I've found after a couple of days, most peoples tastebuds heal & adjust

Some people stop coating the meat in spices & swallow, others start chewing the meat easily

I will try this advice with my brother.  He is hard at work learning how to eat a raw animal foods diet.

I have large dogs.  They pull on large pieces of meat and with their canines shred it and puncture it many times.  It's pretty hard for a dog or animal to simply swallow a large piece of meat without having put a lot of teeth made holes in it first.  The digestive juices flow into these 'holes' and get at the middle of large 'chunks' as described.   their digestive juices can also completely dissolve bones.  Pretty strong stuff.
