I'm a meat eater, and I eat many kinds of raw meat, and I dont only mean biting my cuticles. Its not bizarre at all.
I eat prosciutto - raw pork thats been allowed to dry out and rot a little for a year or so - cold smoked salmon - which is delicious, and even unadulterated - from the animal raw meat - such as raw salmon, raw tuna (sushi), raw clams and oysters, even raw beef (carpaccio).
All I ask is that its safe from pathogens - the same way I expect my cooked meats and even salads to be.
