My point is that labor saving efficiency may take a hit producing healthy food.
For example, if instead of fighting insects directly, everything is soaked in glyphosate, it might be too much of a compromise.
In fact there are lots of these compromises that end up killing fiber, or favoring starches or processing away nutrients that makes eating a faustian bargain.
I would think labor-saving solutions should try to get whole foods to the table quickly and cheaply, rather than say maximizing shelf life or storage convenience.
