I would say that a *very small* amount of cooked food is natural. In the
same way, cows eat insects along with their grass, but a 100% raw-insect
diet would certainly not be natural for them! Moreover, maybe cooked food
is natural, but not mixed, salted, seasoned food.

I don't consider landfills as natural...
