Sushi. Shrimp. Spanish ham and other cold meats like chorizo. Steak tartare. Jerky. Many fermented meats that I don't know the name of. My brother even loves eating raw meatballs.
We cook, not because we aren't meant to eat meat, but for the better taste and easier digestion.
I personally hate raw vegetables, they're too crunchy and taste like... cardboard (personal preference of course). Cooking is not a phenomenon exclusive to meat.

- kaoD 7y agoActually, I often eat fresh hand-picked vegetables (close relatives live in a small village). It's mostly a matter of personal preference. Raw tomatoes are great. Lettuce? Chard? Carrots? Meh... but cook them and I'll eat a ton. Raw vegetables are just not my cup of tea.
- rusk 7y agoTomatoes and Lettuce are the two things most people that have only bought shop produce know nothing about. I was amazed the first time I had fragrant lettuce. There's nothing in our cultural orientation that teaches us to expect it. I guess it doesn't attract the same kind of profit margins ... but if you're wise to all this and you still don't like it well that's fair enough too!
- msiyer 7y agoPeople far wiser than you advocated against eating animal flesh. Ham (pig flesh) is especially a big no-no in many religions for a reason. Cooking is inferior. You cannot better nature. It just is not possible.
