Thing is, all edible things are made up of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and a little bit of nitrogen, all things that react into gases if you burn them. What's left behind is typically unedible things.

If you cook it, there are no burning reactions taking place, though. All you do is denaturalize the protein and kill all micro-organisms. Denaturalizing proteins doesn't actually do anything except change the way they are "folded", while the bonds actually stay the same, just in different directions, and killing the micro-organisms is actually what makes it safer to eat.
