I feel like raw meat is demonized to shit. Many cultures around the world consume it. Countries like Lebanon, Japan, Ethiopia, Syria. People in EU eat Beef Tartar.
In Japan they eat raw horse meat and sushi.
It's perfectly fine if you source it from a grass fed, antibiotic free animal.
Perfectly fine if it’s sourced right and FRESH. It is true that cooking food, for the most part, isn’t necessary for digestion and absorption of nutrients. However, raw meat has a high likelihood of contamination. Bacteria is everywhere and there’s very little truly sterile environments out there. This simple fact means raw meat becomes riddled with bacteria so easily and this can cause severe sickness and even death. Cooking food destroys the bacteria and creates a safer environment for nutrient consumption and also acts as a sort of predigestion phase in some cases. For plant foods there’s more lenience. And also it’s important to eat plant foods raw on a semi frequent basis. The reason is, cooking plant foods can destroy certain nutrients in it. Also, not cooking it can make absorbing certain nutrients impossible as they’re unable to be extracted because of the tough cell walls. So you must consume both.
Most plant foods are indigestible by humans though, and cooking meat destroys nutrients and creates carcinogens.
All nutrients can be found in meat, especially organ meats and not just steaks. In their raw form as well as dairy is optimal and this is truly what I believe.
Most plant foods are disgusting to eat raw (spinach, broccoli, garlic, potatoes) and contain goitrogens. Meat is much safer and healthier.
Eat beef liver, it is a superfood.
