Most humans choose to cook their food because it prevents them from getting certain illnesses however not all illness/diseases from your food. For example most people choose to cook their food for a couple of reasons; because they like it and think it tastes better that way and/or because it kills a majority of the bad bacterias if you are at a high enough temperature. However not all things need to be cooked and when people are down to the life or death choices for example: they can't cook it or make a fire or something, ect. they will most likely take the risk and eat it to survive while others may not eat it and unfortunately die or starvation or malnourishment. Cooking food also breaks down the food to make the nutrients more easily absorbed by the digestive system. Example: Eating uncooked wheat would result in almost no nutritional benefit.
