Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ, it is dilemmas like these that we must find ourselves turning to the Bible (KKJV1611) for the Word of God in these matters. In this case we need to look at what Jesus did in what has become known as the "Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes".
Quote:
When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
He said, Bring them hither to me.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
- Matthew 14:13-21

Even in Biblical times the people lived by Godly capitalism and the division of labor. Some people were fishermen (as were the apostles), while others raised grains and barley, and still others baked the grains into loaves of bread so that the population could buy them. These were indeed "prepared foods", and even the fish were salted ("chemicals") to preserve them so that they would not rot while they were carried around.
What we have here is an attempt by Obama's SEIU union thugs to falsely appeal to our Holy Bible (KJV16111) to promote their attempts to bankrupt our capitalist economy for their own benefit.

There are a few holistic visions out there, but I will be focusing on UNITE HERE's cafeteria worker campaign called "Real Food, Real Jobs."
Here's the big idea. In many places, cafeteria workers are increasingly asked to simply heat frozen, pre-packaged foods for students. Raw foods are trucked from farms where they're grown to industrial processing factories, and then frozen before being again trucked hundreds of miles away to universities to be warmed. Wages have been cut in some places as skilled food preparation specialists are replaced by "warmers."
…
So UNITE HERE's Local 23 is organizing to build coalitions with community food activists who can help them in their campaign to include wage, real food preparation and sustainability provisions in contracts up for renewal in the next year at five schools here in the Washington, D.C. area: Georgetown Law, American University, Gallaudet University, Howard University and Trinity College.
The message is clear: cafeteria workers want to cook again. There's a consistent message: we love our students, and we want to cook beautiful, healthy foods for them.

God, in His infinite abundance and generosity, gave us the "miracle" of food additives, chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, and modern industrial processing of foods so that more soldiers for Christ could live on this earth to praise the Honor and Glory of God and praise His Grace.
If Obama's SEIU union thugs had their way they would have forced Jesus to sign a union contract and pay them thousands to set up the preparation and baking of bread in the desert and to run fresh fish from the sea to feed the multitudes. Indeed, their union contracts would not have allowed Jesus' disciples to be "warmers" and pass out the loaves and fishes but would have required more union thugs to be hired to pass out the loaves and fishes.
In retrospect we can only guess what Jesus might have done with these union thugs and their attempts to extort the Son of God, but here is one of my favorite Bible (KJV1611) passages:
Quote:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
- 1 Samuel 15:2-3
