You can argue about this study all you want but I dont think anyone wants to stand up for processed food in general. Eat fresh.

  The shareholders of food processing companies like it. The reason we have so many processed foods is that traditional "whole food" businesses are not good businesses to invest in. The population is not growing and people do not need to eat more calories, so that means that your revenue is not going to grow year over year, because the US basically needs the same amount of food every year. This means that you have to make money by using less raw material and charging more for it; hence, processed foods. (Sure, Store A may steal sales form Store B in the short term, but in the long term, the industry will not grow.)

    Yea, I know. Dividends are a much better idea in this case than relying on stock price growth.
