I love cooking.  It's interesting to think that preparing food with heat or fire is unique to humans.
It sure is.  I'm very thankful for my oven and microwave though.
Microwaves are amazing.  Dielectric heating is a very interesting process where polar molecules in the food rotate to produce heat.
So I was thinking about that you said about human being the only ones that cook food. I've never really considered that before.  Animals eat food raw whether it is meat or vegetables.  I can't eat raw meat though, no, no, no! 
Right!  When I think of raw food I usually think of Sushi.
