Unprocessed != nutritionally balanced, although it often is. The “fewer ingredients == better” people often forget that you still need to balance your diet. The “mostly from vegetable sources” part might leave you in need of more fat and protein, but this is of course depends on the person.

non-scientific thoughts: I believe eating unprocessed food is important due to how the body breaks it down. Eating corn vs. corn flour I imagine has different effects on the body and on indicators of satiety

Ah, but eating unprocessed corn as a primary part of your diet will cause pellagra, unless you soak it in lime water. So unprocessed isn’t always best.
