"Natural" basically means local optimisation, whereas "artificial" means global optimisation. Note also that most companies aren't optimising for nutrition or satiety, but instead for low cost and high addictiveness.

It's the same reason we worry about (artificial) nuclear weapons - despite "natural" reactors also existing.

What does a natural nuclear reactor have to do with a nuclear weapon? There's almost no connection between the two.
