I'm a bit confused about the whole processed food thing. I know we're supposed to avoid it but I'm not totally sure why. For example, I had some of these beans today in a wrap with salad and avo and a little bit of veganaise.

I suppose they are a processed food but studying the label they appear to be quite low in the wrong things and good in the high ones.
The ingredients list didn't look too sinister either:
Mixed Beans (58%, Cannellini, Haricot), Tomatoes (29%), Concentrated Tomato Puree, Onion, Sugar, Rapeseed Oil, Cornflour, Modified Cornflour, Garlic, Salt, Herbs, Flavouring
These are another massive, massive favourite:

They ingredients, except Guar Gum which I'm not familiar with, sound similar to what you'd put in if you made veggie burgers at home so surely it's having gone through a machine doesn't make it more unhealthy?
Does anyone know about this sort of thing? I'm trying to have a better diet all round but not always sure which advice to follow!
