I don’t think there’s anything intrinsically unhealthy about processing foods. The issue is that if humans are exerting effort and money to process food, it’s almost always to make it more hyperpalatable, calorically denser and faster to digest. All of those features are strongly associated with low satiety and overconsumption.
