If orchid parts are tasty I will like the first. Also I prefer real stuff to artificial flavors.
But do not worry, I would never try to take your scientific ever-lasting Twinkies away. Bon appetite!

Vanilla beans are parts of orchids. Authentic vanilla extract contains ~1000 components. I have worked with it extensively. It is a wonderful, subtle flavor, and few foods allow one to relish it better than ice cream.
But not all flavors are complex, whether they come from a plant or a reaction vessel. Eugenol (clove) is an example, consisting of a single compound. So, what is then "real" if the molecules are utterly identical? Do the eugenol molecules from the plant have a different 'soul' than the synthetic ones? I think not.

Most Americans have never seen an apple--from an otherwise well-managed orchard--produced without a lot of spraying. They'd run screaming into the night at the sight of them.
Rancidity not only tastes foul, but the free radicals that cause it are not a good thing to eat, however "naturally" they may occur. Antioxidants are highly useful compounds.
Baking your own bread is fun, and I have baked hundreds of my own loaves...but not with the expectation that the bread will not dry out if not kept wrapped or not become a mold farm in short order.
Excess emotionality about food is a luxury. Historically, most of humanity in most cultures has struggled to maintain even marginal diets. Personally, I'll choose the evil terrible contemporary way of eating to the good old days of famine bread made in part with ferns, goiter and all the rest (including the sale of somewhat suspicious-looking cuts of meat...that tastes a little like pork...). I won't worry if the egg I am eating came from a well-adjusted chicken.
Putrefaction is a natural process, too.
