Cooking meals lets you convert raw ingredients into food which is more enjoyable and/or nutritious. If the cook is decently skilled (4 or better), it can also reduce the chance of food poisoning from eating raw foods, eliminates the negative thought associated with eating some raw foods (meat, grains), and, with the higher level meals, can give a good thought.
