They're not wrong.

"Grug says cooked food is unnatural. Raw meat is real food"
@light Cooking it is fine, turning it into a fine powder and using it to coat weird manufactured substances isn't. :)
Humans are strange in that we're the only animals to outsource our digestion. We can't get as many nutrients from raw stuff, we need to break it down with heat outside our bodies first.

Why?

That's probably (don't quote me; I'm not an evolutionary biologist) only because the population of hominids that started using that newfangled artificial "fire" thing lost the ability.
Idk. I'm not telling you what you should or shouldn't eat. I myself tend to prefer less processed things. But that's more for taste rather than health. I think it's a fallacy to assume that "natural == healthy". Bitter almonds / apple seeds / random unidentified berries are more natural than crisps etc.
