This is falling prey to the naturalistic fallacy, which is the belief that because something is "natural" that is is therefore the best. Cooking food, for exam

This is falling prey to the naturalistic fallacy, which is the belief that because something is "natural" that is is therefore the best. Cooking food, for example makes it much easier to digest and more nutrient rich, but is cooking food natural? Remember that the most "natural" state involves dying to any number of diseases, malnutrition, or predation.
The heuristic of "the less natural the worse it is" is not a very good one.
