  I don't think we need a strict definition. If people really got the message "processed food is bad" and made reasonable choices from that information and their intuition (or a google image search) they would stop eating the worst things, which would help a lot.

    yeah, also, it would probably help to think in terms like "raw foods are better" instead of "processed food is bad". When shopping, just try to get as close to raw as you can instead of trying to determine the dividing line between good and bad.

  My own definition: If the ingredient list contains something that you are not exactly sure what it is, then it is processed. Personally I consider a can of skipjack tuna in spring water to be unprocessed, even though it has been canned. I consider a frozen bag of peeled and cooked shrimp to be unprocessed, even though it has been peeled, cooked, and frozen. But a frozen bag of peeled garlic shrimp I would consider to be processed, because the ingredient list contains items I don't exactly know what they are. So that's my definition, it's the ingredient list.
