re: #206 Pie-onist Overlord

I read an article in National Geographic (or maybe it was Smithsonian?) a couple of years ago that the discovery of cooking was a major step in human evolution. Many raw foods are not easily metabolized by the body and require cooking in order to obtain maximum nutritional benefit.

Michael Pollan’s _Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation_ (2013) goes heavily into this thesis. It was an interesting read.
