While the definition of different “processed foods” leaves a lot to be desired, there’s always going to be foods that are at the edge of one definition.
Further attempts to refine the definition also bumps up against pendants like yourself regardless of what definition they use.
But just like porn, we all know what definitely falls into one category or the other. With foods that straddle definitions, just apply some common sense and moderation. Go ahead and eat your ham. If you share it with family and friends you’re probably ok. If you ate the whole thing yourself in a couple days, maybe that’s bad. Same for everything else. Eat them in appropriate quantities and you’ll be fine.
