It's a fucking opinion piece by a random person that wants to get rich of it. I'm not reading shit of that.

Have fun getting scurvy.

The Inuit avoided scurvy by eating some of their fish and meat raw during long Arctic winters. Apparently there is some vitamin C in raw flesh which is destroyed by cooking.

The risk of parasite infestation increases, but they probably learned what to watch out for, just as they learned to avoid eating polar bear livers.

Yeah but the Inuit don't have the choice to eat a balanced diet, so they do the best they can. Some people now are eating like shit because it's the new gym bro science scam.

Hey, give me some wasabi paste and soy sauce and I will quite happily eat raw fish. 🙂
