Can you eat meat on a raw food diet?!
Question: Can you eat meat on a raw food diet.?
Answers:
Yes, you CAN eat meat on a raw food diet, indeed there are some raw-foodists who eat only raw meats/organ-meats and nothing else.Here's a FAQ:-

The term "raw food diet" used to be used only for raw vegans, but a large number of ex-raw vegans then turned to some more recent raw animal food diets, due to nutritional deficiencies, so the term "raw food diet" now applies to any raw diet, in general.
The issue re bacteria/parasites is way overblown, though. I mean, millions of people around the world regularly eat sashimi or ceviche(raw fish) or steak tartare, or even aged, raw meat dishes(such as the Inuit/Eskimos etc.) without any issues, and raw animal foodists report no problems with such. Food-poisoning etc. is really only an issue if you're eating intensively-farmed supermarket meat or canned or processed foods(I'm thinking of the current mass-food-poisoning scare about tainted pasteurised milk in China, as a classic example:-
