      Raw food makes you sick because there are bacteria growing on it. Cooking food helps to kill the bacteria and make it safe to it.
      But as I’m sure you are aware, you don’t cook all your food. You can eat lots of it raw, like fruit. This because there are lots of different kinds of bacteria and only some of them make you sick
