Oh, and my understanding about the freezing and "defrosting" of human embryos and other living tissue is very different than that of vegetables.

It's been a while since medical school, but if I recall correctly, the tissue is brought very quickly to a sub-zero temperature and both frozen and unfrozen under carefully controlled conditions. And carefully stored and monitored while frozen.

These conditions are not in place for vegetables, and in fact are demonstrated by boxes of frozen veggies sitting in warm grocery store aisles while minimum wage employees stuff them into freezer bins, not to mention the repeated opening and closing of the bin doors, not to mention the food is not brought to, nor kept at, the same temperatures as frozen tissue.

I'm not meaning to be negative on this - BELIEVE ME, if we could freeze our over-abundance of summer produce, it would be WONDERFUL.

But all these things are things I know of, have experienced or learned - so I'm extremely curious about the documentation showing frozen food can be considered raw.
