Reply to comment by Bubbagumpredditor in Researchers team has spent 9 years monitoring gluten-free products to analyse whether they are nutritionally deficient, and found that they are not usually nutritionally equivalent to those that contain gluten, but the quality of the products has increased considerably by giuliomagnifico

Not meaningfuly so in this context, no. Processed foods usually refer to food that has sugar, salt or fat added. The guy is also clearly talking in context of bad processed food too, it goes unmentioned.

If that doesn't sound like cooking to you then you're probably not a great cook

On the semantics again, ignoring the obvious context and common meaning of the term. Nobody talking about processed food means a salted egg. It's used to refer to overly - processed foods, such as McDonald's or chicken nuggets, etc.

The OP comment is deleted, there is no context to be had. But if you want to avoid getting into semantic arguments, maybe use better semantics that mean what you actually mean? Like, "high sodium", "high fat", "high sugar", "unhealthy", etc. Because "processed" falls apart really quickly.

I can make chicken nuggets at home with ground chicken, eggs, and panko, and they have decent macros btw. McDonalds ones aren't that bad either.

Really? No context? What about the comment Bubbagump made where he said “cooking isn’t processing?”

Just because you came in way after the fact doesn’t mean there isn’t sufficient context to at least cast doubt on what you thought they meant.
