80-10-10 is just what naturally occures when most of your calories come from fruit. Fruit breakfast, fruit lunch, tender greens and very little fat for dinner.
80 percent carbs, 10 percent protein and 10 percent fat. If you just EAT TONS OF FRUIT, EAT AS MANY GREENS AS YOU CARE FOR, MAYBE A TABLESPOON OF SEEDS A DAY, you will feel amazing and have energy through the roof.

Heres my take on the raw vs cooked argument:
As our digestive tracts shrank, our brains grew. As our digestive tract shrank, our hunting behavior grew. As our ability to process vast amounts of roughage and plant food shrank, our brains grew. Hm? I wonder what that means?
We are not monkeys. "But monkeys eat mostly veg, and they are our closest ancestors!" First of that is simply not true. Chimps hunt, kill, and eat each other. Gorillas dont even really eat bananas, most of their diet consists of greens. They all eat bugs.
Somewhere along the line, our jaws began to hurt, and sharp things began to appeal to us. It was animal protein and fat that made us smart. It free'd up so much blood from the digestive tract that the brain could do its thing.
There is no "one way" or "one thing" we should/can eat. We are designed to eat natural foods, and we should take advantage of this fact.
Grains, on the other hand......
