That's right in most cases, but not in all cases. Compare modern, industrial bread with "artisanal" bread. The latter is in my opinion vastly superior. Not because it's healthier because it isn't, but because it tastes better and has better texture. Also some "old" vegetables like parsnip taste great. Or cucumber varieties that aren't as big but don't taste like water. So there are certainly reasons beyond natural health hype to like older food. And natural <-> healthly, unnatural <-> unhealthly isn't a bad rule of thumb.
