[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, just cook from scratch if you want to avoid processed food.  There are a ton of “fast” recipes out there that are say to make, and flavorful — google “sheet pan dinners” or “Tuesday night meals” and you will find a multitude of easy-to-cook meals.  Once you start cooking from scratch, processed food no longer tastes good.[/quote]

OP here. Wow this thread really blew up. I think I was unclear in my original post, sorry. I do cook from scratch, as it happens, and I am a good cook and enjoy cooking - which I realize not everyone is, or does. (And yes, it does take a while - usually takes 45 to 60 minutes to get a really good multi-part dinner on the table, unless I'm doing something simple involving eggs, which can be more like 30. And I am not vegan or vegetarian and don't want to be, though I do cook plenty of veggie meals).

But the "for scratch" is not complete, because I used boxed low sodium soup broths, don't make my own bread, etc. I am not really counting canned or frozen vegetables as processed unless they include salt, but for sure the jarred mayo, peanut butter, etc is. I guess I was just looking to see if anyone had recommendations for websites that would inspire me to make the leap to doing even more from scratch-y stuff, like bread or yogurt. But that seems kind of silly now that I type it out and after seeing the heated discussions on the thread, so never mind![/quote]
