A distinction really needs to be made between "cooked food" and standard American diet.
I am firmly convinced that eating, say, braised escarole with your fruit salad is vastly different from eating a triple whopper, king sized fries and diet coke.
Even the standard vegan diet, as others have discussed, has many detrimental chemicals and processes. But I haven't seen a shred of credible evidence against steamed vegetables, etc.
