That's why the scientific literature uses the better term "ultra-processed" to mark the difference between, say a loaf of bread and a chicken nugget.

That’s a subjective distinction.

I would say a chicken nugget is just finely ground chicken meat with some binder like egg or flour covered in breading.

How is that different than making things like head cheese? You boil bones and connective tissue and make a loaf out of the congealed proteins. It's been done for centuries. Or were our ancestors eating "ultra highly process foods" too?
