Raw foodists are scientifically illiterate nutters (enzymes that survive my stomach acid? Ha ha ha), but having just read _Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human_, author Wrangham repeatedly notes cooking made practicable both a omnivorous diet (with up to 60% of calories from plants) as well as the hunter gatherer division of labor and cognitive development. Wrangham also points out the numerous studies of how few calories are available to raw foodists, and the resultant amenorhea/infertility of half of study participants.
Anyway, plenty do just fine (and way better than Western norms) on a B-12/D supplemented _cooked_ vegan diet. One needn't fall prey to naturalistic fallacies to live ethically.
Is mammal supremacy really ethical? Did the self-replicating genome of plants fight any less to conquer the face of the earth? Is it fair to say that we should prey on this life exclusively because it doesn't feel like we do? Cry like we do? Remind us of ourselves? Does our bias not make us worse monsters?
You chuckleheads are missing the point: this is a recipe for a chocolate without sugar. I'll admit her presentation is poor. I'd roll it flat and cut bars like the uncooked fudge that it imitates. BTW that thing is silicon, not PVC. You can bake in it if you keep the temperatures reasonable. Can't _any_ of you cook?
This has waaaay more saturated fat than a normal chocolate cake. Which is essentially the problem with "healthy" raw food crap. Coconut oil has the highest fat level of any oil.
