What's "normal?"
Various kinds of foods require different levels of "work" to digest and different cultures have significantly different types of food.
And we already cook a lot of food which is effectively external digestion, why aren't you worried that we eat too much cooked food and not enough raw food, thus weakening our digestive ability?
