If it grows on a plant, or eats plants, or eats things which eat plants, it's not processed food.
If it didn't exist 150 years ago, or you cannot find it in nature, it's processed food.
- derleth 15y ago> If it grows on a plant, or eats plants, or eats things which eat plants, it's not processed food. Tell that to people who go bugnuts about GMO foods. > If it didn't exist 150 years ago, or you cannot find it in nature Start checking on when your favorite variety of apples was first created.

- chc 15y agoThis doesn't seem all that useful. I can't find salads in nature. I can't find bread in nature. I can't find smoothies in nature. I can't find noodles in nature. Are those all bad, processed foods?
- ars 15y ago> If it didn't exist 150 years ago, or you cannot find it in nature, it's processed food. Is the corollary true as well? Lead sugar existed a few thousand year ago - so is that processed food?
