Processed food was designed to make profit.

It’s to make calories easier to get.
Grains, pulses, meat, and some fruits and veggies need to cooked, i.e. processed, to make them safe or easier to eat.
“Processing” is as minimal as sprouting beans. Removing bran. Cutting into small tiny bits. Warming or heating. Pounded or smashed.
Not all “processed food” is ultra-processed diabetes - inducing poison. A baked potato is a processed food. A steak is a processed food.

This is a matter of semantics, linguistics, and basic communication. When someone says processed food, what do they actually mean by that? Do they need a baked potato, or do they mean a twinkie?
Language and communication don’t work on technicalities. If someone says they would like a bowl of fruit, you can’t serve them some tomatoes and say well you have to enjoy this! Tomatoes are technically a fruit! Communication occurs only when people accept the intended meaning of what someone is saying rather than the literalist interpretation of it.

Bread is a professed food and it’s not designed for profit. It was designed to make wheat fucking edible.
Homemade sourdough bread is a processed fucking food. For fuck sake.
