Ok well I eat a lot of whole grains, veggies, fruit, legumes/beans (Im a vegan). Im not big on processed food but I was wondering if stuff like bbq and vegan cheese sauce is classified as a processed food. Its organic and has no preservatives. I like to put it on my food and I use the serving size.If it is, is it as bad a processed food such as doritios and crap like that? thanks|||Yes. Vegan cheese sauce would never occur in nature and can't be made in your own kitchen. (BBQ sauce is probably ok, most are naturally vegan anyway)

"Organic" only means that it was made without pesticides or antibiotics and "no preservatives" usually refers to chemical preservatives.

That being said, fat and sugar are natural preservatives. That's why candy lasts indefinately. A lot of "natural" vegan products have more fat and sugar than their omnivorous counterparts.

All you can really do is study up on nutrition (buy a book, don't believe all the **** you read online) and read labels before you buy anything.|||Technically it is still processed because you got it from a package in a grocery store and not straight from say a farmer. However, it is most likely minimally processed. In that case, it is definitely much better processed snacks like doritos.
