[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all processed foods are equal(ly bad).

Soda and sparkling water are both highly processed.

Cottage cheese and velveeta are both processed.

Peanut butter is processed, but natural peanut butter and regular JIF and the swirl pb with nutella or reeses cups are different.

Wheat bread and powdered sugar donuts are both processed.

You run into trouble when you are regularly eating foods that have added chemicals and salts and sugars in them that are designed in a lab to make people eat more of them, and to pack more calories and fats into each bite. You don't really run into trouble eating yogurts or pasta sauces or breads that contain a few preservatives and stabilizers. [/quote]

Velveeta is highly processed by your definition.

[quote]ingredients: milk, canola oil, whey, milk protein concentrate, milkfat, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, and 2% or less of salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid, sodium citrate, sodium alginate, enzymes, apocarotenal, annatto[/quote]

Sparkling water has far less processing and ingredients.

I assume you don't like sparkling water and like Velveeta?[/quote]

Spread Velveeta all over your Doritos and marshmallows, OP. When you die early no one will miss you.[/quote]
