That's not entirely true. Processed food requires less energy to digest and absorb. Nutritionally it can be exactly the same food but the net calorie intake will be higher for food that has been processed.
We should eat food that our pre-industrial ancestors would recognize.

Nutritionally it can be exactly the same food but the net calorie intake will be higher for food that has been processed. What does this actually amount to though? You might be right in principle but if it's like 50 calories per day then it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
