Oh, the passive aggressiveness. It burns, it burns so much.

Processed food is improved over that which is unprocessed. Margarine, for example, is much better than butter in the modern day. Splenda is shown not to cause cancer in studies, and chemical improvements to our food makes them taste better with less work put into them. Those are two examples out of many where human efforts can cause our food to be stronger in many ways. We are even capable of modifying the very genetics of crops to make them grow faster, and be more nutritious. It's a beautiful thing. "All natural" is a ruse, and a shining example of Luddites doing their thing.
