Hi Steve,

I hope that doesn’t come off like I’m lamely trying to justify a return to cooked food.

why would you want to justify anything? It's your body and your decision to try 30 days raw. You were so kind to let us know, what you experience. But nothing more.

Is it possible that the best way of eating is to stop assuming that food has any power over us except that which we give it via our beliefs?

I don't understand why you want to stick to so rigorous statements. From counting calories and reading tons of stuff about nutritions to "food don't have any power at all". Hey, wake up, there's a middle course!
Here are my (personal, not scientific) assumptions about food/eating:
1. Your body tells you what he needs.
2. Enjoy eating as often as you can. Take your time and worship your body by giving him, what he wants.
3. Why should some far away scientist know more about your needs, than you?
4. You won't die if you try something new once (at least this is true for most things
)
Since I eat "this way", I feel better. I stopped worrying about what food could have negative effects on me and just try to enjoy eating. So if i want to eat raw, I eat raw. And if I need something cooked, so what? ....
Believing all the scientific results about nutritions etc. would mean for me, that I also have to believe I have died several times. Obviously I didn't. (Or maybe I did, but I feel great anyway
) ... so there's not so much value in scientific theories about food for me.
