i'm an...eggetarian?

Yeah, how long has he been eating like that? I find it really hard to believe anyone could live off raw milk and eggs.

Hehe you joke about it, I actually have a workout buddie that is... well I don't know what to call it, raw vegetarian minus the vegetables and fruit? He eats ONLY raw eggs and raw/unpasturized milk, the eggs being from his own ducks and the raw milk being from California (because it's illegal in Nevada). Absolutely nothing else. No meat, no fruit, no grains, no veggies. About the most unorthodox diet I've ever heard of but it seems to work for him.

wow. that's a...intereting diet choice. What about fibre? and vitamins? and yummy fruits?

My brother got scarlet fever from unpasteurized milk. Hopefully your friend will change his diet before he gets sick.

I know what that diet is called. It's WTFitarian.

Ew!! Isn't eating raw eggs unhealthy for you? It may work now but he's missing a LOT of nutrients!

Yeah I've got issues with the diet, and I wouldn't try it myself :P But as far as nutrients go, it would seem to me that either dairy or eggs, raw, would contain every nutrient necessary to support a life. That is, after all, their purpose in the case of newborns or developing birds.

I wouldn't dare eat raw eggs from a conventional grocery store, knowing where they came from. But if the increased danger of bacteria can be accounted for, the yolk is healthier raw as the fats are less damaged.

As crazy as it is, I can find a lot more holes in the typical American diet (which is pure crap) than I can in this one.

Well, the life of a calf or baby chick you mean. Adults have different dietary needs, nevermind the fact that we're entirely different species! I mean neither has any fiber whatsoever, as well as tons of other stuff....but anyway, hopefully your friend will stop that diet and eat more healthfully.
