My problem is that I don't know what exactly constitutes "processed food". Like, isn't cooking a steak on a pan constitute a "process" on a food? If processed foods don't consider my steak example, how much process on a food causes it to fall into the unhealthy category you are describing?
I'm not trying to be nit-picky, this seriously is confusing for me (probably no small-part due to marketing).

- newnewpdro 9y agoWhat I think is generally meant by "processed food" is processed prior to your acquisition. But you're obviously capable of doing any number of harmful processes on your own, it's just somewhat unlikely. Most people aren't incentivized to process their own foods for optimal shelf life and profitability over nutrition and health.
- emmanuel_1234 9y agoMy personal rule of thumb: if it wasn't available for pre-agricultural human, it doesn't have to be part of your diet (doesn't mean you can't eat it at all, but you surely shouldn't make it the foundation of your diet). Dead animal and the fire are definitely part of Homo, especially Homo Sapiens. You can call that a Paleo diet if you will, I don't, as the term as been tainted by quackery (see also: Superfood).
