Raw vs. Cooked Foods

There are many different types of food that we eat every day. You could eat fish, sushi, chicken, vegan food, and many other foods. There are so many different types of foods, that if I tried to place them all into different types of groups, it would take forever. Even though that may be virtually impossible because there are so many different foods, there is something in common that all of the foods have. They either belong to the cooked food group that you eat or the raw food group that you eat.

Since there are now two different groups that I could focus on, I could tell you how some of the cooked food and raw food are alike and how some are different. First of all, I would like to say that not all raw food and not all cooked food taste good. For example, liver is cooked and it is nasty and raw celery is nasty. With that similarity, raw and cooked foods both could be eaten and would taste slightly different if the raw food was cooked and the cooked food was left raw. The difference between the two is that raw food does not require any cooking while cooked food does. The other difference is that you might need to reheat cooked food if you brought it for lunch at school while you could eat raw food right away.

In conclusion, raw foods and cooked foods have their similarities and differences. Raw foods are not cooked and cooked food is not raw. They are both similar because they are food. Which one would you prefer to eat?
