There are tons of foods you can eat raw (example: fruits, veggies, fish). But some foods will make you sick if you eat them raw, because of bacterias (from a little vomit-sick to hospital-sick), while some foods just taste horrible while raw (example: potatoes),

Should food be stored below cooked food?

Cooked food is free from harmful bacteria as the cooking has sterilised it. If the the raw food drips onto the cooked food then it will no longer be free from harmful bacteria and could make you ill if you ate it. For this reason you must always store food that has been cooked or to be eaten raw (such as fruit) above the raw meat so that drips can not contaminate it.
