Processed foods is a catch all and can mean so many things

I view it as canned vegetables not processed food....canned meat like spam.. processed food.

Frozen pizza rolls..defintely processed. I eat them anyway sometimes

But if it isnt sitting in the fresh section ..it is processed I suppose

Makes sense. I like your ‘guideline’ on this and will prolly think about it each time I go to the grocery store from now on. :)

Yep...just use common sense. Fresh fruit, veggies and meats — not processed. Cookies, cakes, chips, frozen meals — heavily processed. The article mentions how bad preservatives are and that’s a good guide. I figure it is probably the preservative chemicals rather than the mechanical “processing” itself (chopping, grinding, rolling, kneading, mixing, etc) that is the culprit.
