One can also make the argument that the "natural food" industry should just deliver the natural food from the fields to the table and not mess around with it in the process.

What does "should" mean in that sentence? That the government agencies that regulate what qualifies as natural food should forbid the "natural food" industry from doing any optimisation?

It means that I would prefer this to be the case and may roll my eyes at the "optimization". Tremble at the power of my eyeroll! :-P
