Sure, raw can be great if the food is high quality. Probably the most out there thing I've eaten raw is horse sashimi, but I've eaten all kinds of fish, shellfish and beef raw, as well as eggs, raw milk (i.e. non-pasteurized, from the cow/goat) as well as all kinds of fruit and vegetables of course.
That said, I don't think we'd have made it this far as a civilization without fire.
