as i said earlier, it's a myth that cooking food affects positive nutrients on a practical level LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 05:34:33 PM
Meat NEEDS to be cooked for health reasons, as you mentioned.

Also, uncooked meat is not anywhere near as digestible. "Raw Meat" is not the same as "fresh meat" you'd eat right off a dead animal. You probably really do not want to hear this, but by the time you get your meat from the store it's partially decomposed by natural means...and that's just fine!! The biochemistry of that early decomposition releases a lot of proteins your body would have a pain extracting on its own, and also makes the meat more tender and flavorful.

Furthermore, cooking your meat has this same effect of releasing proteins to be more digestible, and also releases all those flavorful juices people love. You also create the opportunity for fats to drain off if your goal is to eat nice lean meat.

Raw meat by the time you get it is very difficult for your system to digest, particularly in modern stomachs unused to the tightly bound proteins. You'd get a HELL of a stomach ache, as the person below did.

"Fresh" raw meat is hot and burning with blood and vitality that is quickly draining from the animal. "Raw Meat" as such available to humans these days is far from this and can only be approximated by cooking it.

Yah, I took a whole class about Meat. Can you tell? :P
