Ties or not, it's true that the label is imprecise and that not everything that's been highly processed is equal.
For example I'd argue that wheat flour and subsequently bread or pasta are in fact very highly processed, and carb bombs to boot, but nowhere near as bad as some other stuff out there.
Or take soy protein nuggets. As ultraprocessed as it gets, but probably healthy if anything.
It's a really complex topic and I feel lkke any sweeping generalizations are bound to be misleading in some ways or others.
