It helps to define what processed food is, specifically what constitutes "processed"

From Wikipedia:

Food processing is the transformation of agricultural products into food, or of one form of food into other forms.

Food processing takes many forms, from grinding grain into raw flour, home cooking, and complex industrial methods used in the making of convenience foods.

Tertiary food processing is the commercial production of what is commonly called processed food.[2] These are ready-to-eat or heat-and-serve foods, such as frozen meals and re-heated airline meals.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_processing

TLDR; anything you do to a food item besides picking it up and eating it raw is considered "processing" if you want to be pedantic.

Colloquially, "processed foods" as a marketting and culinary phrase typically means "Tertiary Food Processing" but thats too many words to say every time you want to discuss potato chips

It's what plants crave

Worse part is that food is designed to make the most profit and there a lot of tasty and cheap things you shouldn't eat that much.

Imagine having unprocessed food. It's like raw and uncooked and unseasoned and simply unprocessed. Sounds awful to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There is a lot of truth to this

Processed food, is easier to digest, more nutritious, less likely to contain deadly bacteria/viruses, lasts longer.

The real problem is our dumb bodies and brains have no sense of moderation and we consume too much.

The only real problem that isn’t an adaptation issue is the preservatives, digestion is essentially a sped up form of decomposition if our food doesn’t rot it doesn’t digest.

Also, processed foods are usually made with lower quality ingredients in unbalanced ratios.

Just look at how high quality medically prescribed balanced food can be and compare that against the average breakfast cereal or training supplement.

Yeah. Our bodies are doing the right thing after millions of years of evolution. When you find something high fat high carb and salty, go crazy before the bear kills you. It just doesn't know that there's infinitely more food and almost no chance of a bear attacking you. We developed food much faster than our brains could adapt.

At the same time, we are not just our bodies but also our gut biome, and they particularly enjoy less processed foods, high in fiber, highly fermentable, and still intact even after crossing stomach.

Did you just assume our bear threat level??? What if we live in Detroit??? I mean, I assume bears frequently roam Detroit's streets with how run down it is....

Or what about San Fransisco? I hear there's TONS of bears there!

Likewise, if you try to lose weight, millions of years of conditioning kick in. Your body thinks its starving to death and acts accordingly.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

You're right. Though each time I try to go in calorie deficit I can see that first few days feel awful and then suddenly my body is able to be content with 500 calorie deficit easily for months until I indulge again for day 2-3 days. Almost as if it accepts the fate until more food is available.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I like to think of highly processed foods as “partially pre-digested”. It’s too easy for your body to absorb which is why it leaves you feeling dissatisfied and hungry shortly after, and it still makes you fat.
