The reason? You've probably been eating mostly cooked food all your life, and your cells are trained to digest and used cooked food at this point. Changing this requires a change in physiology and the body will have withdrawal symptoms, although usually less severe than typical withdrawal symptoms for hard alcoholics or smokers. Thus your body is likely to eject the raw food (read: mostly unusable) and look for cooked food for its nutritional needs. Unless you eat lots of raw food, your body is also going to not get its daily needs, which then drives you to grab cooked food.
Bottomline: you are fighting your hunger drive, and raw food can't satisfy that. Not yet, anyway.
