What is the Optivore diet?
The Optivore diet is an organic Milk, Apples, Redmeat, Garlic and Seafood diet.
Water (preferably filtered) is optional.
Adherents may choose to consume as much or as little as they like.
All other foods are best avoided.
Toxicants in plants
The theory of the diet is as follows:
Unlike animals, which can fight or flee to avoid being eaten, plants can't, and so the plants have to rely on chemical defenses (toxicants) instead so as to avoid being totally wiped out (whereas animals generally don't employ toxic defences because it unnecessarily burdens their physical fitness).
Any plant that was perfectly edible would have become extinct very quickly a long time ago (hence why carnivores, which on land, usually chase down and kill prey, exist (because of the superior health and physical advantages from not eating plants)). By eating plants you are fighting evolution. It is these toxicants that cause many diseases and ageing. You consume them at your own peril.
Examples of some toxicants in plants include:
Milk: raw, genuinely organic, grass-fed, unhomogenised, full cream (Jersey milk recommended); and UHT (emergency reserve).
Apples: raw, genuinely organic; and freeze-dried (emergency reserve).
Redmeat: raw (fresh or frozen), genuinely organic, grass-fed; and freeze-dried (emergency reserve).
Garlic: powdered, genuinely organic.
Seafood: raw (fresh or frozen), wild-caught, predatory varieties; and canned (emergency reserve).
Water (optional): filtered.
