I was fortunate to come across Professor Byron Tyler’s quote in the book Strength from Eating by Bernarr Macfadden. He states, “All disease is the result of disobedience of nature’s laws. It is a crime against nature to eat the food she provides in any other condition than that in which she provides them. Nature does not err. No one can improve upon Nature, yet that’s what man attempts to do when he subjects his food to the heat of fire, destroying its vitality and changing its chemical constituents. The product of mother earth, given us for sustenance, are uncooked save by the heat of the sun—the source of all energy. The sun is productive of life. Fire is destructive of life. The man who eats cooked food subsists upon the few cells which escape destruction by fire. He is obliged, therefore, to take large quantities of food to secure the required amount of nourishment."
