> What is the magical problem with processed foods?
It's not that it's "processed" necessarily. Your grandmother processes fresh pumpkin to turn it into pumpkin soup, and that's still healthy, nutritious, and delicious.
The problem with food from Cargill. Nestle, Pepsico, Kraft, Unilever, Kellog, General Mills and the like is the added sugar, added fat, and added salt in every can, box, jar, bottle and packet they sell in supermarkets.
Read the labels. They'll tell you how much sugar, fat and salt is in every 100g of product.
If its more than 2g of sugar per 100g, you're being manipulated to crave and buy more.
Check the ketchup and the breakfast cereal labels. Compare the sugar in those to the sugar in Coke. What do you find?
How much sugar is listed in the label for your granola bar?
