Raw food is just plain healthy.

Seriously.  I can't think of many foods that need to be cooked, and the ones that do are probably not human food at all. Smoking, drying and freezing are simply methods of preservation. There's a simple test.  It shouldn't have to be pre-digested by another species and then processed. If it isn't edible raw, dried, fermented or pickled, it probably isn't good for you cooked.  Like lettuce.  I want to make a very short list of good, wholesome food that can be eaten raw.

lettuce

honey

corn on the cob

beef

flowers

cheese (cheese doesn't some in spray cans)

milk, buttermilk, butter

bananas

eggs

tomatoes

lamb

onions

spinach

horse meat

carrots

fish

papaya

pineapple

cabbage

eggs

poultry

cabbage

pork

garlic

salt/pepper/spices

sugar from cane or maple trees

ants

broccoli

nuts

seeds

eggplant

broccoli

apples, peaches

ice cream

grapes

beer

most plants that don't have a waxy leaf or milky sap.

sea turtles

frog legs

all illegal plants

tea (you can make tea in the sun - it doesn't have to be boiled)

women

And a quick list of stuff that has to be cooked or 'processed' to be edible:

Brussels sprouts

most dogs and cats

asparagus

tofu

snails

bats

many marsupials

chocolate

rats/mice

grasshoppers

coffee

Did I mention Brussels sprouts?

And even a few things that just flat aren't edible: 

beetles

Anything that walks, crawls, flies or swims and has red, yellow and black coloration.  Let it go.

skunks

toads

people who look sick, starving or bloated, or who have pustules or open sores or are bleeding from any orifice you didn't create.

-or are already dead when you find them.

Roadkill.  Even fresh roadkill.

Anything that is preceded by the phrase "Try this".

peach pits, potato eyes, rhubarb greens.  Just say "NO".

Anything a smiling person tries to serve you.
