I saw this article yesterday and thought of you! I think one general rule of thumb with processed food is - if you could buy it at a gas station or 7-11, generally best to skip it. While I think the subject of this piece is disingenuous-for instance, if she had put rice with the beans and avocado she probably would have been satiated - I also think the point about convenience vs dedicated prep time (and there honestly is no way around the fact that it takes commitment to eat right) is tough to get around.
Hi Mia! What’s the difference between pasta and fresh baked sourdough bread that makes bread fall into a more processed category than pasta? Thanks so much for this super helpful info!!

It’s because it has more ingredients. Doesn’t make it bad! Also fresh baked bread is “processed” whereas commercial breads are “ultra-processed”.
What a great and approachable article!
