  I definitely prefer to eat garlic raw, you can let it in your mouth for a while, saliva will make it less strong. But cooking it is killing too much of its important macro-nutriments. I don't eat pastas or other starch because with experience I feel like they're "glueing" my digestive system and make digestion less efficient. My diet is mostly fruit currently (tons of free figs along my rides, persimmons, clementines, grapes), tomatoes from a local producer, all kind of edible plant leaves (e.g. common purslane, kale, onion leaves, leek leaves..), everything raw actually since many years. Even bell pepper, cucumbers, zucchinis I eat them "raw" (in quotes because technically fruits and this stuff are already somewhat cooked by the sun, and later by our digestive system), you can feel some taste that wouldn't exist anymore when they're cooked, it requires to chew more, and with time, the situation completely change, you don't like anymore cooked products It's great that you have a garden, I hope you'll grow some stuff. I was picky like your son when young, but fortunately I changed my diet later

    > I was picky like your son when young, but fortunately I changed my diet later That's a weird statement to make after describing how you only eat very peculiar food - raw leaves, fruit and some veggies. ( Who the heck eats cucumbers nom-raw?)

      right, I meant I'm not picky for the food I eat, I'll eat damaged fruit, some fresh ripe fruit from the tree with sometimes some little worms, I won't mind, or a bird bite, or one on the ground even if it looks fresh enough, that's what I meant by non-picky, not wasting stuff, eating cucumbers or zucchinis raw and with all the skin of course
