Except you might replace processed food (Low Fat / Low Sugar cereal) with non-processed (Pork Belly + Lard).
Which is non-helpful. A stir-fry dish from Panda Express and/or Noodle's and Co is entirely "group 2 unprocessed" by this designation. Is eating Panda Express all-day, every day healthy?
You can literally see them cut the veggies and meats as they make the stir-fry. Its fresh and out in the open.
People don't like ultra-processed in an partake-abstain framing (like many do with illegal drgus), but they could just apply a how-often, or frequency framing, (like they do with alcohol).
People are just uncomfortable with the responsibility being theirs and are exercising their denial.
The demand for a narrative about evil-FDA or evil-food-corp is HIGH. Everyone could just eat like the healthiest among their friends and family, but you can't sell a story without a villian.
