I ate a *lot* of raw carrots as a kid because they are supposedly good for eyesight and I'm very nearsighted. Now yellow corn is always cooked otherwise it is inedible. A lot of fruit cooking is done to preserve the fruit, which is usually seasonal. Now we get fresh fruit from South America flown in, but that wasn't always the case.
