Totally legit, as long as the meat is from the wild or at least raised free-range and organic. Uncooked meat is loaded with enzymes, which help to maintain optimum metabolism, meaning the chemical processes that occur within the body in order to maintain life. It is loaded with food value, which stays at the highest possible level because nothing is broken down by the cooking process. Meat is also the closest food there is to being a perfect food, so you eat high-quality raw meat and you're all set, as long as you supplement that with a few other foods which have the nutrients that meat lacks.
That being said, it is ESSENTIAL to have the know-how to dress, treat, and preserve the meat if bad bacteria and parasites are to be avoided completely. For example, freezing the meat kills parasites but does not destroy enzymes.
NOTE: I'm vegetarian, but I do respect meat because it's very good for you.
