Processed food is real food in that you can eat it. That's about it. It's a very bad food in that it decreases consumers' life quality. The industry is horrible in that it is based on deception and misinformation and it thrives on an ignorant consumer base. It also requires a much larger amount of plastic wrapping than non-processed foods. I'm not linking to any studies or statistics, because this is not obscure knowledge.
