I'm not sure I understand. Every food made in a factory was first made outside one.

Margarine? Fruit loops? Canola oil? Snickers?

I dare you to make actual snickers with the same ingredients outside a factory. Refining the sugar alone is a huge industrial process.

Even the US's entire grain supply is sprayed with folic acid. So pretty much all wheat and rice that you find at the grocery store is also disqualified.
