The issue is that we began utilizing a lot of ingredients that just weren't available, or edible at all, until the advent of modern industrial processes. Eating as much refined flour, sugars and novel vegetable oils turned out to have some pretty negative outcomes, and we wouldn't have made those choices without economic incentives to do so; we developed the technology to make them cheaper, at a scale, and durable to be stored for long periods of time and remain saleable, and much of it is stuff that you wouldn't have eaten as much if not. It was an uncontrolled experiment. Now, picking apart peas and rice, isolating their proteins, putting them together with refined coconut oil in a cellulose matrix, none of these things you would even be able to cook yourself, you can't make any assumptions that they'd have an effect in you similar to eating peas, rice or sauteeing something in coconut oil, it's not a valid inference.
