      We don’t need to cook the meat before eating.

      But doing so lets us get more from the meat than if we don’t.

      Humans (or rather what we were before homo sapiens) ate raw meat for a long time before using fire for cooking was invented.

      It’s the sugar and (to a slightly lesser extent) carbs combined with a lifestyle that presses us into eating quick processed low quality food while not being conducive to exercise that makes Americans fat.

      But we need to cook meat

      Sashimi exists.

      And that’s probably not the only example.

        Steak tartar is another easy one. There are a lot more, including the fact that rare steak is basically uncooked inside, just warmed up.
