The misunderstanding, and rightly, the confusion, comes like you said from the level of processing. Cooking is considered processing - so these words have little value in reality as they mean different things for different people

I’m 14 and this is deep bullshit. There are different levels of processed food. Nobody is against cooking your food. Countless studies demonstrate that the less processed your food is, the healthier it is for you.

No there’s value to what OP said… but like I said there also has to be some kind of thought into *how *you are processing because then the varying levels of processing matter. Like you said cooking is considered processing while I gave the example of making a food oil.
*How * you cook determines the amount of processing you will have to apply. How I make a food oil will determine the amount of processing I will need to apply.

I’m 33 and I think about how something is processed though it’s prudent to keep in mind that the further you think about how something is processed you will come to the realizations about the levels of processing. For example: You could make your own olive, grape and peanut oil with less processing or more depending on how you do it.
