Minimally processed foods — such as bagged spinach, cut vegetables and roasted nuts — often are simply pre-prepped for convenience.

Foods processed at their peak to lock in nutritional quality and freshness include canned tomatoes, frozen fruit and vegetables, and canned tuna.

Foods with ingredients added for flavor and texture (sweeteners, spices, oils, colors and preservatives) include jarred pasta sauce, salad dressing, yogurt and cake mixes.

Ready-to-eat foods — such as crackers, granola and deli meat — are more heavily processed.

The most heavily processed foods often are pre-made meals including frozen pizza and microwaveable dinners.

-Title: How Processed Foods Affect Your Health

Note Card one:
-Quote: "Processed foods are usually loaded with sugar and/or high-fructose corn syrup – sugar’s cheaper, more highly processed cousin."
-My paraphrase: Sugar is found in most processed foods along with the Walmart version of sugar, high-fructose corn syrup. (HFCS)
-Ideas: Sugar and HFCS are not very healthy substances and could be one of the main reasons that these foods are harming the body.

Note Card Two:
-Quote: "Processed foods tend to have long ingredients lists and very few of the items listed are recognizable as food. These mystery ingredients include colors, flavorings, preservatives, and materials to enhance the texture of the food."
-My paraphrase: Food companies put long ingredient labels on there packages but most of those ingredients aren't qualified as real foods.
-Ideas: Hopefully people will realize that what their eating isn't technically food and think just because the label is long that it is meaningful. Quality over quantity.
Also is people start realizing what the labels actually say, that company could start to lose money.

-Title: Nine Ways that Process Foods are Harming People.
-Author: Kris Gunnars, Medical News Today
-URL: medicalnewstoday.com https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318630.php

Note Card one:
-Quote: "Processed foods are bad. They are a major contributor to obesity and illness around the world."
-My paraphrase: Processed foods are the reason why people these days are getting sick and acquiring diseases or illnesses or gaining weight.
-Ideas: Processed foods could be the reasons for problems in our world

Note Card two:
-Quote: "Every time a population adopts a Western diet high in processed foods, they get sick.
It happens within a few years. Their genes don't change, their food does."
-My paraphrase: When someone starts eating processed foods that their bodies haven't had before, their bodies react because it's different so they get sick because their bodies don't know how to deal with the new food.
-Ideas: Maybe it really is the food we're eating that is making us sick, were not changing, but the food is.

Note Card three:
-Quote: "Food manufacturers spend massive amounts of resources on making their foods as "rewarding" as possible to the brain, which leads to over consumption."
-My paraphrase: The foods that factories are making taste very good which is why people are over eating and gaining weight. The foods manufacturers make are addictive which is why people can't stop eating them.
-Ideas: Manufactures are the ones making people gain weight because they are making unhealthy addictive foods.

Note Card one:
-Quote: "Don’t panic, but each time you eat a bacon sandwich it is estimated you reduce your life by half an hour. We used to think that was due to the high fat content but the evidence now suggests it is to do with how bacon is made."
-My paraphrase: Every time we eat a bacon sandwich our lifetime decreases. Bacon is a processed food this is the reason why this is happening.
-Ideas: if something is reducing our lifetime why eat it?

-Title: Processed Foods: What's OK and What to Avoid
-Author: Taylor Wolfram, Eat right.
URL: https://www.eatright.org/food/nutrition/nutrition-facts-and-food-labels/processed-foods-whats-ok-and-what-to-avoid

Note Card One:
-Quote: "Eating processed food in moderation is fine, but consumers should be on the lookout for hidden sugar, sodium and fat."
-My paraphrase: Company's don't like to advertise the amount of sugar they put in their product so if you're a stickler for certain ingredients then make sure you look extra close.
-Ideas: If company's aren't advertising the ingredients people want to know about then obviously there's a reason

Note Card Two:
-Quote: "Processed food has a bad reputation as a diet saboteur. It's blamed for our nation's obesity epidemic, high blood pressure and the rise of Type 2 diabetes."
-My paraphrase:  Processed foods are the leading cause in our nations obesity epidemic, high blood pressure and the increase in Type 2 diabetes.
-Ideas: If any of these issues continue to grow then people will be more careful and aware of what they eat.

Note Card Three:
-Quote: "Processed foods are major contributors of sodium in our diets, because salt is commonly added to preserve foods and extend shelf life,"
-My paraphrase: Companies are adding more sugar to their products so it stays in better condition while on the shelf of a store.
-Ideas: Why wouldn't companies have more confidence in their product that it will sell quicker.  If you need to add that much salt than the food probably isn't that good anyways.

Note Card one:
-Quote: "Modified foods contain phosphate additives that magnify taste, texture, and shelf-life. These carcinogens also cause rapid aging, kidney failure, and weak bones."
-My paraphrase: The foods that we are eating that are processes are actually really harming our bodies. The companies creating the foods are making them taste very good however, what makes them taste good is harming us.
-Ideas: Why would companies make foods that are so bad for us? Yes, they may taste good but, they are really bad for us.

Note Card two:
-Quote: "The foundation of most processed foods in grocery stores today spring from laboratories, not nature. Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), which have been linked to infertility, organ damage, and cancer. Excessive amounts of these foods entail weight gain, pollutes your blood stream, and can permanently effect the composition and function of your intestines."
-My paraphrase: processed foods are full of Genetically-modified organisms. these GMOs are very very bad for us.
-Ideas: Why put GMOs in foods if they are hurting our bodies?

Note Card three:
-Quote: "In order to grow the GMOs used in processed foods, conventional farmers apply Roundup (glyphosate) along with other pesticides and herbicides, which end up in the crop. Some breakfast cereals out there contain up to 70 different types of pesticides, fumigation chemicals, and other residues."
-My paraphrase: Pesticides are in processed foods because processed foods contain GMOs and GMOs contain pesticides.
-Ideas: again, why put GMOs in food, its very bad for you.
