Ah, I see. You do realize that reacting to "processed" things isn't really actually a thing though right? Those are all pretty different. Either you've got an allergy to something they have in common or you're letting all the fear mongering get to your head. Oooorrrrr I suppose you may get a bit of a totally normal upset stomach if you never eat anything but fresh food and then have some cookies. Which is again totally normal because it's now not something that you regularly have in your diet.

Either way, the processed food fear mongering is frankly getting kind of old. You're not reacting to processed foods because they're all "processed". That's not really how it works with such a variety. The way people with less resources are shamed or made to be afraid of perfectly accessible and shelf stable food isn't really acceptable anymore. I really wish you guys would go back to being "intolerant to gluten" again or something else for attention. That actually did wonders for the people that are actually intolerant lol. I hear blaming everything on ADHD is very popular right now!
