things you don't like, that others do

i didnt eat the whole thing, just cut off a small sliver of it and munched down

There's nothing wrong with eating raw meat. You could kill a cow and start munching down right then and there. The problem is bacteria from the butchers/packaging plant on the surface of the meat. Eating raw steak without at least searing it could lead to a nasty dance with E. Coli. Wouldn't recommend that at all.
