Something like 90% of the world is heterosexual. AIDS is rampant in the gay population. yadda yadda; in tone, your argument runs like many I have had with fundamentalist Christians, who are intrinsically repelled by "perversion".
In fact, most societies eat raw meats of one kind or another. I mentioned the most common - Prosciutto/Serrano/Jamon, as well as pickled (raw) herring, smoked salmon, sushi of all kids, Beefsteak Tartare (and its predecessor, horsemeat tartare,
In cultures that are close to their environment, such as the inuit, eating meat raw is common.
The problem really comes when meat is raised in poor condition, like in first world countries - anywhere with large cities, really, where the meat gets less and less fresh by the time it hits the consumer.
But even in America, raw meat is common.
Salami is raw, and its close cousins, pepperoni etc., and then there is the biggy one. Beef Jerky.
Anyone think eating Beef Jerky is Bizarre?
Your comments on parasites is of relevance, meat needs to be parasite-free to eat raw, but then the vegetables we eat can be contaminated with lots of things too... all kinds of bacteria and worms and whatnot.
The answer is the same - we wash, we inspect, and we cook where necessary. I grew up in Ireland, where the idea of eating raw vegetables was considered "bizarre". Nobody ever ate a raw carrot or a raw brussels sprout in those days. The idea would have been ludicrous.
But it is easy enough to solve the parasite problem. Sushi is easily made safe by freezing the fish for 1 week. Freezing kills fish parasites. Drying kills most meat parasites. So does salting.
Kinda like pickling makes vegetables safer. When you store vegetables for winter, you dont just cram a few radishes in a jar and hope for the best.
Its just the same with meat. You wash your food, you inspect it, and if you store it, you preserve it first.
As to raw meat being healthy? Its like anything else. It provides nutrients. If you had a choice between no food and raw meat, you would be healthier eating raw meat than no food.
If you want to go off on a tangent about percentages of animal foods in the diet that are healthy and for what reasons, we could go into that, I suppose.
I could rant on and on about how starch is responsible for most disease in the Western world - Wheat, Rice, Potatoes - flour, pasta, pizza.... About the evils of cottonseed and corn oil.... The appalling destruction wrought by hydrogenated plant oils to make them harder...
If you eat a pound of lard, you will be far healthier than if you eat a pound of vegetable shortening...
....but I dont think you really want to go off on that tangent.
