Your thesis is completely undercut by the rest of your post.

Some foods are healthiest to eat with no processing.

Other foods require minimal processing to be healthily edible.

Still other foods require significant processing to be healthily edible.

It's almost like....there's no simple, one-line rule you can apply to food to guarantee that you are always getting the healthiest stuff!! You actually have to apply human thought, judgement, and knowledge of the subject to it!

I don’t see how the thesis is undercut at all. Process the food as much as is needed to make it edible, but not more than that. Of course each food will require different types of processing.
