Grape nuts count as "processed" because of the added salt and vitamins

  Right, which begs the question: if processing includes ostensibly beneficial (or at least neutral) processing as well, how important is the 70% in TFA? My intuition is that it’s still pretty important (since most people are probably eating Frosted Flakes, not grape nuts, for breakfast), but that we need a better way to talk about healthy eating habits and proportions than “most of our foodstuffs are processed.”

    "Processed" and "ultra-processed" are two different things: the latter goes beyond the former. Grape Nuts might could as processed, and Frosted Flakes as ultra-processed.
