What Does “Food Processing” Really Mean?

What Does “Food Processing” Really Mean?
Like other writers about food.........I feel uneasy about the the terms, “natural” and “processed.”  It’s easy to identify a cauliflower at the farmer’s market as “natural” and the Vegetable Thin crackers that I described in The Salty Truth as “processed” because the latter contains ingredients that have nothing to do with nutrition and everything to do with appealing to consumers, preserving shelf life, and lowering the cost of production.  read more
(Just the act of picking your fruits and vegetables and washing them is "processing", so it's not practical to say you don't or shouldn't eat "processed" foods.  Where do you draw the line?)

TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Lower Table Rock Run and Heavy Bag
It was another busy day, but I still found time for a fun Lower Table Rock run this morning.  I ended the day with a late 30 min heavy bag workout.

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
