As the vegetarian products mentioned here contain A life-units that have to be killed before the B life-units can be released, people, as they become more developed and their organisms become more refined and less suitable for carrying out this process of killing, have gone over to using boiling as the means of killing. What is left for the organism is only to carry out the process of putrefaction or decomposition. But for this the organism, by virtue of the digestive organs, is equipped with particular conditions for this to be carried out artificially.
      In addition to boiling, people have discovered "frying" for the promotion of the process of killing or destruction of the A life-units. This method of destruction is not to be recommended. True, it promotes the killing of the A life-units, but it also to a great extent converts their corpses to charred substances or ash, a process that is most unfortunate for the organism since this is created only for the promotion of the organic corpse-substance and not for the treatment of ash. All frying will therefore be avoided in the households of the future. It is a different matter with boiling. It does not convert products to charcoal or ash but only liberates the organism from the process of killing the A life-units. It will therefore be retained as long as people are still obliged to use coarse vegetarian products where the B life-units are encapsulated in the A life-units. This does not, of course, alter the fact that there are people today whose organisms are of such a robust nature that they themselves can carry out the process of killing and so, for a time, can still make boiling superfluous, and eat the products as "raw food". But from a moral point of view nothing is gained, since the A life-units that are not killed by boiling or any other artificial method have all the same to be killed by the organism before the B life-units, which are the true nourishment, can be released. Moreover, it is also a fact that the organism is evolving towards becoming more and more refined. We see that the primitive human being can eat raw meat and coarse roots, and can to a far greater extent eat raw products than the refined, civilised human being. If the latter being therefore went from eating the products in a cooked state to eating them in a raw state it would be, at any rate in the case of the coarsest and most indigestible plant products, a step backwards.
      But fortunately evolution does not go backwards. It goes in the direction of the refinement of the organism and thereby makes it less and less suitable to carry out the killing process itself, at the same time as it to a corresponding extent leads forward to the pure fruit-flesh, which, as previously mentioned, constitutes the highest ideal "raw food" for the human being.
