Raw and Cooked

Food is important, in order to live. If you think that you can live without food, you are a bit mistaken. Food comes in many different forms and many people have different ideas of what food is. Food could be bugs to some people, live bugs at that. Some people think that it is wasteful not to eat every bit of an animal. Some people believe that food is not food if it is raw while others believe that raw food is the real food. Raw food and cooked food is a very simple subject to compare. It is simple to scratch the surface and just say that one is cooked and one is not. But, it is so much more to it than that.

Some raw food is pretty good, while it is in its uncooked state. For example, vegetables and fruits are better for you when they are fresh. They still retain all of their nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. If you cook a vegetable, it may taste better, but that does not mean that it is still as good for you.

Some foods are better when cooked because you can get sick if you eat them raw. Some people do eat raw meat; I do not think it is very healthy to do so. Raw meat can have worms and since you do not get to see how your meet is processed, you do not know what kind of bacteria is in it. You can season raw meat and eat it, but I doubt it’ll taste the same and I really think it is unhealthy.
