sometimes you can get sick from bacteria in raw meat. . .and plus it usually tastes better, and it may need to be thawed, heated, etc.
Cooking is a physical change due to how the texture of the food changes through the cooking process. The actual food physically changes.

no it does not change it but then again it all depends on what you are cooking in the microwave

food these days are made with chemicals anyways.
Cooking food can cause chemical Changes
The food Darkens
No, cooking food is not a reversible change. During cooking, chemical reactions occur that alter the food's composition, texture, and flavor, making it impossible to revert to its original state. For example, proteins denature and starches gelatinize, resulting in changes that cannot be undone. Thus, once food is cooked, it cannot be transformed back into its raw form.
During cooking (boiling, frying, grilling, baking) many chemical reactions are involved.
The definition of a chemical change is when one or more new substances have been made. Also chemical change cannot be reversed by simple physical means e.g. if the change was brought about by heating then cooling the product won't get you the original substances. So boiling water is not a chemical change (as you can re-condense the steam) whereas boiling an egg IS as the protein has been permanently changed (denatured).
Certain methods of cooking, boiling for example, can reduce the amount of nutrition available from a food.
This darkening involve chemical reactions.
