Most “organic” food you can buy is entirely man-made, and never came into existence naturally. I would almost argue that 10,000 years of farming and cultivation has been humans processing nature itself for our benefit.
Really now? Should I go down the list of all the cultivars humans have created out of wild mustard? Or perhaps all the kinds of apple that exist now? Or I could also simply mention the banana. Just the banana alone.
So if regular produce is processed food, where does that leave ultra-processed food? Should it be called ultra-mega-processed food for the sake of accuracy? Perhaps processed³ food?
It’s all just processed one way or another. The distinction only exists because people can’t be bothered figuring out what a list of ingredients means. If I were to write down what makes a tomato, without specifically saying I’m talking about a simple, normal tomato, there’d be several people decrying the use of “all these chemicals”.

Wow this is such complete horse shit I don’t even know where to start.
