>We're (as in, scientists studying nutrition and how utterly wrong food industry has gotten that in the 20th and early 21st century)
What does the food industry have to do with anything? They aren't trying to get nutrition "right", they are trying to sell their products. This is the same reason people who don't know anything about nutritional science claim that "science doesn't really know anything about nutrition, one day fat is good, the next day it is bad". Science never said fat was good or bad, marketing weasels for food companies deliberately misrepresent research to support unsubstantiated claims.
>finally starting to get our collective heads around the benefits of whole foods vs. highly processed foods
Except, there is no evidence to support that claim at all.
>It may be theoretically possible to create some processed food that's on par with the nutrition of whole foods

Not just theoretically, but practically too. What exactly do you think they are feeding people on feeding tubes? It isn't salads. http://abbottnutrition.com/Adult/Adult-Tube-Feeding-Products...
