I think the central issue, and what is confusing you, is the question of 'bilogically correct diet', not 'naturalness'. Humans did not evolve on a diet of grains. No animal other than birds is a natural grain eater. Therefore, eating them when the body is not adapted to do so, will cause disease. Look at the effects of feeding grain based pet foods to dogs and cats. They now suffer pretty much every disease that we do: cancer, diabetes, arthritis, cataracts, rotten teeth, and more. These animals are carnivores and the effects of feeding them a biologically inappropriate food source are easily apparent. Also, you mention other facets of modern life that are not 'natural'. Do you not see the consequences of such things the production of synthetic chemicals and materials and fueling modern energy needs. It's not a question of whether the effects of such are natural or whether or not they exist. The fact is that they do exist, we merely tolerate them and often even fail to recognize them.
