Gratitude, Compulsion, Idiocy or Nobility?

Definition of natural
1 ":based on an inherent sense of right and wrong: natural justice
2 a :being in accordance with or determined by nature natural impulses
b :having or constituting a classification based on features existing in nature

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/natural

In view of above dict. definitions, how cooking, processing or using any food after changing its form in any way, can be stamped as natural?

Does it justify true religion:
noun
1.
a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

Homo sapiens has been cooking food for at least a million years. That's long enough for us to adapt to doing so by evolving smaller teeth and guts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_foodism#Role_of_cooking_in_human_evolution

Richard Wrangham, professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University,[47] proposes that cooked food played a pivotal role in human evolution. Evidence of a cooked diet, according to Wrangham, can be seen as far back as 1.8 million years ago in the anatomical adaptations of Homo erectus. Reduction in the size of teeth and jaw in H. erectus indicate a softer diet, requiring less chewing time. This combined with a smaller gut and larger brain indicate to Wrangham that H. erectus was eating a higher quality diet than its predecessors.[48] To explain a decreased gut providing the amount of energy required for an increased brain size, Wrangham links his research on the digestive effects of cooked versus raw foods with the lower reproductive abilities of female raw foodists, and BMI in both sexes, to support his hypothesis that cooked starches provided the energy necessary to fuel evolution from H. erectus to H. sapiens.[49]

So it's in our species' evolved nature to eat cooked food, making it natural under definition 2a.
 
How can we say those understanding are scientific, if its full science is yet unknown. I shall need to know full science of energy transformation or conversion unless we take these as supernatural or miracles.

Oh, but that science is well known. Search for "thermodynamics".

Good link, thanks. Yes it suggests naturality at secondary level. Probably, smoke ftom buring wood and leave do not appear too bad like smoke recently generated. However, many odds, are also indicated on this link by cooking and by takíng cooked foods as compared to using raw foods, which may suggest it has not yet become fully natural
 
How dangerous is smoke blowing from Kumar's nethers? There's an awful lot of it and people should know whether it represents a hazard
 
You're talking bollocks again. Your use of prime, secondary, natural, odds etc. are all arbitrary.
Now it's 'old' smoke vs. 'recently generated' smoke?

What do you hope to achieve?
I do not know, I dó not feel much incovinience in smoke from wood burning but do feel from vehicles smoke. May we became natúral fo that.
 
And yet, wood smoke is highly carcinogenic. Tricky things, facts.
In view of few odds méntióned on línk given by Pixel aboút cookíng being evolved and became soméwhat secóndary natural, we may also need to better understsnd cooking relevancy to getting diseases. Probably cancer?
 
Two very different substances. And both carcinogenic to one degree or another.

Yes. These should be because these both are not primarily natural products to us. Like wood smoke, I feel cooking also being not primarily natural practice for us, may bring lot of odds. Few are mentioned on link given by Pixel. We may need to better understand, cooking affect on our. environment and health.

May it be by, decreased gastric acidity, enzymes, odd digestion and absorption, Advance Glycation End producs or otherwise. Look:



Exogenous, meaning outside the body, may also be referred to as dietary or pre-formed. Exogenous glycations and advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) are formed when sugars are cooked with proteins or fats. Temperatures over 120 °C (~248 °F) greatly accelerate the reactions, but lower temperatures with longer cooking times also promote their formation.[
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycation

Health effects by Advanced glycation end-product
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_glycation_endproduct

Every cooked food, should have Carbs(sugar), fats & proteins, so cooking should be responsible to producing AGEs?

If so, why it also can't be potential carcinogenic---probably a reason to many modern chronic diseases?

It is making me great suspicious.
