So when you say "processed", you're actually referring to plain old food preparation?

Well, I suppose confectioneries in particular with confectioner's sugar could be considered "refined"...

Processing takes many forms.

Removing of fiber, adding of sugar, etc.

The end result of many types of processing is a food which is both more nutrient dense and less filling.
