I would be curious to know which restaurant can serve raw organs in France ?
I live in France and people here generally don't eat raw meat, except once in while a "steak tartar", a "carpaccio" or a suhi/sashimi.
People believe many things about french, for instance that they eat a lot of animal fat, or that they are healthy.
The truth is that we are one of the country which use the most drugs.
There is nothing as a french paradox out there!
I wish they'd let me on there. I'd win the argument and make the other side look like a bunch of fools. "Hey doc! Ever been to France? No? Guess what they serve in restaurants there! Raw organs. French MDs eat out there, would be my guess, as well as French dietitians and French restaurant health inspectors, French food safety experts, etc.. Are they all just total idiots? Is their national diet totally unscientific and/or dangerous? People all over Europe eat raw meat all the time, not just France. Are they all just ignorant savages, nutritionally-speaking? Hmm?"
I'd also have a couple of French doctors, French food safety experts (who speak English reasonably well), etc. with me on the show. The high point would be me saying "Hey doctor! Shut up! I can't hear the good food information over the sound of the noise coming out of your mouth!"
OK, I might not say that. I wouldn't have to. I'd already have won the argument.
I could bring an Inuit or two who eat their traditional diets, or some people from Africa who grew up on raw meat. Hmm.
I think I could win.
Hmm. LOL
Seriously, that'd be a blast. I wouldn't even let them finish their sentences. I'd be all, "Why are you talking? Is there some good reason? You're saying moronic stuff. That's why I'm not letting you finish sentences, doctor. I think the actual words you are saying are causing illness right now, in this room. You're causing diseases by talking. Please don't talk any more about nutrition. Have mercy." LOL
After they made their points I'd say "You do realize that you can both buy (and/or raise) healthy animals that are totally safe to kill and eat raw, right? There are farmers in the US today who sell such meat...you know that, right?"
I admit it would probably be difficult to get my point made in just a couple of minutes. I'd probably need at least 10 minutes.
I'd like to get Doug Graham on there, too, and maybe some other vegan gurus. We could have a UFC-style fight, where I kick their asses thoroughly.
OK, that might not spread the nutritional word well. It'd be a blast, beating the holy heck out of Doug. "Bananas, huh? *punch* All day, huh? *kick* Nothing else, huh? *kick*"
OK, that WOULD be kind of fun. LOL
