Mrae, unprocessed means just that to me...unprocessed. Meaning fresh fruits, veggies, etc. If you are talking about anything in a bag, can, box, container, etc., then, yes, they are processed. As far as ingredients go, less is better. Haven't you ever picked up one of these containers, and the ingredient list is as long as your arm or leg, and you have no clue what they are? I would prefer not to put that into my body.
If you look at a box of Quaker Oats, it say 100% rolled oats. Now, that is a processed food, but with one ingredient. Do you get what I mean?
Even if I make soups or stews, I do not buy the canned and boxed chicken/veggie broths. I make my own. I just prefer to keep it as natural as possible for my health. Now, that does mean you need to cook a little more. But, that is far better than depending on packaged, processed junk, with God knows whats in them.
