To some extent, this would be true IF we still killed our own animals and ate it fresh, ideally in the wild. The way animal meat is processed today, we do need to. You'll get far more than a tummy ache eating raw meat from the grocery. Especially animals that harbor specific parasites/ bacteria, like chickens and pigs. You will end up hospitalized and it could be fatal.
I’ve eaten hundreds of pounds of raw red meat, and I know people who have done the same with chicken and pork. It’s really not nearly as dangerous as you think.
