Processed food isn’t bad for you… GMOs aren’t bad for you… that’s the propaganda farmers use to keep you from making common sense choices.
“Processed” is anything that goes into a machine. You want your beef ground up? It’s now processed. What’s added in the processing is what you need to isolate and be weary of.
“Genetically Modified Organisms” includes bananas which have been selectively cultivated to provide more nutrition and reduce seed sizes. It’s a result of intelligent agricultural practices to maximize food production and minimize inedible waste.
Plant based meat has been an incredible substitution for meat making it cruelty free without compromising much on taste or texture, if at all.
Lab grown is the next step, making genuine meat without slaughtering animals. I’m not aligned with PETA but I think an ideal future is one where we don’t need to kill sentient life in order to have exactly what we do right now.
You can have your own opinion but at the very least be aware of the origin of your bias.
I think when most people talk about “processed food”, they’re referring to ultra-processed food, and just grinding beef would not be enough to classify it as an ultra-processed food

I don’t disagree necessarily, but food that’s been ground up into a paste is essentially pre-chewed. It definitely makes it easier to gulp down more before your brain catches up to your stomach and you start feeling full. This goes for apple sauce as much as it does chicken nuggets.
I suppose but that’s not inherently unhealthy or even bad for you in the traditional understanding of the phrase. I understand not wanting to drink your calories as someone who struggles with significant weight loss, but the what about the inverse? I’m sure there are some people who need to drink profound amounts of calories just to survive.
If you want unprocessed applesauce, buy apples. They’re a choice no different than anything else.

Yep, my bad! I was referring to ultra-processed foods.
