"Processed food" is something designed to be eaten, "organic food" is just some shit someone found in the dirt

Here's how useless the term "processed food" is when it come to health: Canned and frozen vegetables are considered a processed food. Milk, cheese, and bread are also processed foods.

There is a distinct difference in food science between processed food (anything that has been cut, or undergone any kind of process) and ultra-processed food (made of many different ingredients, many of which cannot be found in an ordinary kitchen, and undergone multiple processes). While the term is not perfect, it is still useful when talking in general terms.

Most plants we eat today were cultivated for centuries to be more nutrient and calorie-dense than the original plant.

That is a good thing.
