Well it depends on what your definition of processed is.
1. Anything which lots of weird unrecognizable ingredients isn't good for you
2. Canned or frozen food with lots of added sugar and salt isn't good either
3. Processing grains and removing all of the fiber isn't great either (rice, wheat, oats)
4. "Processing" but throwing in a bag and freezing or cooking and canning with few additives is a safe form of processing foods.
Unfortunately, #4 is the least common type of process food consumed.
its funny how much ambiguity people use when they take these positions. the reason is because you have absolutely no clue what this "evil" processing is doing to harm the nutritional quality of your food.
1. what "weird unrecognizable" ingredients are you referring to and what are they doing to change the nutrition of the food?
2. some foods have added sugar and salt, thats simple enough. sugar and salt is a part of a normal diet but if a food has too much for you, it doesnt make it evil and you can easily see those numbers on the label.
3. fiber is just stuff your body cant digest so it runs though and helps you poop more. its wonderful, but it doesnt make the food poisonous to reduce its fiber content. its not exactly a nutritional bonanza, its stuff your body cant digest. i take a couple of tablespoons of psyllium husk a day and i dont have to worry about it anymore.
4. i agree with that other than the notion that other forms arent safe.

1. For this I like to stick to normal ingredients. Here is what I do not approve of and try to avoid at all costs: MSG, artificial coloring, maltodextrine, dextrose, mono and diglycerides, exthoxylated mono and diglycerides, sodium stearoyl lactylate, calcium iodate, calcium dioxide, datem, calcium sulfate, dicalcium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, calcium propionate. If I can't quatify what it is, i try to avoid it. (these are ingredients from breads or chips)
i'm only 23 and just started my 1st real job about 6 months ago so i don't make that much to begin with, but so far, on average, i've been saving about 15% per month including my contributions to my 401k and my company match
somewhere around 25% gross and 40% net...this includes 401k and match/529/add'l payment to principal/6mo to 1 yr living expenses/tax refunds (yeah, i know).....

Nope. But our low fiber diets sure have had some nasty repercussions, haven't they?
