> You're obviously right that processed foods are far worse
I see this claim semi frequently online. So I'll just ask.
What is meant by "processed"? What does it mean to be "worse" (Worse than meat? Regular foods?) What is meant by "whole foods"? And finally, what's the evidence for these assertions?
Is black tea a processed food? How about coffee grounds? When does something cross the rubric of processed vs unprocessed?
To me, it's not obvious that "processed is bad" particularly because I don't know what "processed" means.
As a side, how do fortified foods fit in with processed foods? Iodine in salt, for example, has been a huge public health success. Goiters have practically been eliminated as a result.
