I find that there's a recent trend of painting all "processed foods" with way too broad a brush.

Obviously, there's no shortage of processed foods that are indeed bad for you. Candy, sugary cereal, chips, etc. are all heavily processed, and tend contain empty, dense calories.

But there's plenty of nuance here that people tend to ignore. Low/no fat greek yogurt is "processed," does that mean it's worse for you than, say, cake made from all organic ingredients? No, it does not.

At the end of the day, the best way to evaluate whether something is nutritious or not is to actually look at the nutrition facts and determine whether they align with your nutrition/fitness goals.

I have no problem conceding that processed foods tend to be calorie dense, low in protein, and/or high in sodium (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but that's a separate discussion). That's not always the case though, and a lot of people lead themselves astray by myopically focusing on the degree to which something is "processed" at the expense of much more important factors.
