My take on it is that it panders to our survival-oriented taste instincts
by intensifying those flavors we need to seek. I believe cooking does not
make anything more accessible or nutritious, at least nothing a healthy
animal needs on a long-term basis. I disagree with the idea that we were
somehow unsuccessful as a species while eating only raw, and needed cooking
to "complete" our evolution.
