You don't need to eat like a gerbil. You can have delicious meals made of raw food with very little cooking.

For instance, I follow a "flavor per calorie" diet. As you notice the chemical foods have very little actual flavor.

Breads, pasta, none of that in my diet. For my lunch today I am having:

Sun dried tomato slices,
a chunk of Vermont white cheddar cheese,
three slices of salami,
and a chocolate bar (90% chocolate, second ingredient being cane sugar)

For dinner I am having:

Field green salad with a sprinkling of sausage for flavor,
a quarter of a small rotisserie chicken with whipped avocado.

Kick ass, right?

Instead of sour cream I use greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon.
