5 Reasons You SHOULD Eat Processed Food

It’s not the tragic public health enemy that some would have you believe, here are 5 reasons why you SHOULD eat processed food.

All food is processed.

Unless you pulled it from the soil of your own organic garden and took a big bite out of it straight away, every single foodstuff that passes your lips has been processed to some extent. Whether by cleaning, peeling, shelling, cooking, or pureeing, food is processed so that it can be safely and enjoyably consumed by humans. Even the most local and organic vegetables are usually at least washed before they hit your dinner plate.

This processing is not a sign of diminished quality, it is simply a fact of modernisation. In days of old, when food wasn’t handled or processed properly, we incidentally had a lot more sickness and disease around.

The vast majority of cultures on our planet consume processed foods, with little harm to them as a direct result. The word processed conjures images of plastic-wrapped “Frankenfood” that is poisoning us all with its chemicals. Soft white bread, salty bags of crisps and creamy chocolate bars all being common targets of this EVIL “processed” label. In reality, nothing is that dramatic. Plus, every single thing in the universe contains a multitude chemicals, it’s kinda how things work.
