Well, I passed that test 100%. Interesting points raised on that site:-
" What bothers colorblind people most?
- When grilling a piece of meat, a red deficient individual cannot tell whether it is raw or well done. Many cannot tell the difference between green and ripe tomatoes or between ketchup and chocolate syrup! Many others are always buying and biting into unripe bananas - they cannot tell if they are yellow or green, and the matt, natural material makes it even harder to distinguish.
...
The 1st one would cause a problem for raw-meat-eaters, I guess.
Cooking red meat causes a problem for me, because it's hard to tell when to stop cooking once I've started (I can't see a red or pink center very well). But if I don't cook at all, it poses no problem whatsoever. So giving up cooking and simply eating raw meat actually makes life easier for red-green colorblind people like me. With raw meat you don't have to worry at all about what color to cook it to.
Phil, you've not seen a rainbow?? and how do you dream?? color is such a huge impact on the detailed images in my mind whether a dream, a recollection, or perception of nature... along with food. do you notice any other sense(s) have over-compensated?
Color-deficient would actually be a more accurate term than colorblind. I can see a rainbow, it's just not as brilliant or colorful as it is for people with color-enhanced vision. It's kind of neat to learn that my vision is luminosity-enhanced, though. I wasn't aware of that, though that's part of the way I determine whether the light is red at the stoplight (it's brighter when lit--though I can detect the colors a bit and I also know the locations). I wonder if my vision is movement-enhanced too. Movement-vision would be more important to a hunter than color vision.
The more I think about it, the more the hunter-adaptation explanation for colorblindness makes sense, more so than the genetic defect through antigenic diet explanation. Is anyone else here colorblind and, if so, what type of diet do you do best on, plant-based or flesh-based?
