“Processed” is a bullshit word”.

When you see “natural”, “processed” or “toxin” in reference to a food, health or cosmetic product, pretend the word isn’t there. At best, it means nothing, at worst it is a manipulation designed to part your money from you or a fake cure.

More like a complex concept who can't be reduced to white and black. Sausages are processed, but there's a big difference between chorizo and Oscar Mayer. Powdered milk is processed, but yogurt and cheeses are too. Even cooking is significant processing that actually makes food safer and more nutritious.

It’s a concept in a conversation like this, but deliberately misused in marketing.

Perdue sells raw, butchered chicken breasts by the pound with 5% water as “minimally processed”, for example.
