Jokes aside, there's evidence that the more processed the food in your daily consumtion is, the more likely you're to get fat and other health issues. Our natural mechanisms to detect if you've had enough don't work as well on processed food.

Just in case someone takes this seriously.

While its almost certain that whole food diets are optimal, theres nothing inherent about food being processed that makes it unhealthy. Some people take anything to do with diet/fitness/wellness to stupid places like "Ugh! That protein bar is PROCESSED! These brownies are home made from whole ingredients, I dont polute my body." Whey protein powder is processed, multi vitamins are processed and greens powders are processed... Raw milk isnt processed... my lactose free dairy products are processed and thats best for everyone.

Isn't "Processed" a really open term? Like, if I bake some veggies in my oven they're technically processed?

It's why there is also the category of ultra processed. That's where they start to add fat, sugar, salt, dye and preservatives. That's where things get unhealthy.
