> eating as close to the naturally evolved food chain as possible is a good thing.

Where does the "naturally evolved food chain" end? Right before Agriculture? Is baking bread "unnatural"?

Except some research shows that cooking foods allows us to reach calories that would typically be unavailable due to denaturing things like plant cell walls.

There is also research that shows a correlation between exposure to pesticides and both birth defects and cancer.

Until more conclusive evidence exists that proves otherwise, why take the risk?
