Claude Lévi-Strauss approaches the history of humanity via the transition from a state of nature to one of culture through a form of art: cooking. Given that cooking has been culturally, socially, and historically adopted by all humans around the world, how can we explain the emergence of the raw food diet? This diet brings us to conceptualize the relationship between nature and culture in a different way. Based on ethnographic research in urban France and the United States with raw eaters, I explore the definition of categories related to food within this practice. By condemning the supposed degeneration associated with the modern food system, those who adopt this diet value the idea of nature; the raw food diet can be considered at the heart of the dualism of nature and culture in its conceptual elaboration, but rather than determining a rupture, it establishes a continuity between the two poles. Claude Lévi-Strauss theories help understand the dualisms that raw food eaters embrace between nature and culture.

克劳德·列维·斯特劳斯（ClaudeLévi-Strauss）通过从自然状态到一种文化的过渡，通过一种艺术形式来烹饪人类历史：烹饪。鉴于烹饪已在全球范围内在文化，社会和历史上被所有人类采用，我们如何解释生食饮食的出现？这种饮食使我们以不同的方式概念化自然与文化之间的关系。基于对法国和美国城市中有生食者的人种学研究，我探索了这种做法中与食物相关的类别的定义。通过谴责与现代食品系统有关的所谓的退化，那些采用这种饮食的人重视自然的观念。原始饮食在概念上可以被视为自然与文化二元论的核心，而不是确定破裂，它在两个极点之间建立了连续性。克劳德·列维·斯特劳斯（ClaudeLévi-Strauss）的理论有助于理解生食者在自然与文化之间所具有的二元论。
