Yeah I thought those links were good cause they are scientific studies and seem to be from credible sources/sites. A lot of people won't believe you if you get your info from sites like
www.rawvegan.com/healthbenefits (because they will think it's just propaganda).
As for the natural part...I was arguing with someone and he brought up a good point. I said cooking food was unnatural and he said, "Well taking nuts and vegetables and making them look like hamburgers and chips is also unnatural."
That is a good point, however, the it may be unnatural to do that, but you are still getting the food in it's natural state (ie: raw form). Also I brought up the reasons why people do this (so people don't miss what they used to eat, because eating regular broccoli and other vegetables gets boring after awhile...etc) I thought those were some pretty good reasons.
