Default Low carb diets

We're still talking two natural ingredients...


Your point being?



Point being...someone said that pasta and bread were highly processed
foods, I stated that they should try homemade...therefore removing the
'highly processed' aspect.


But that wouldn't remove the "highly processed" aspect. Commercial flour
*is* highly processed; therefore if you make homemade bread or pasta
with commercial flour, the finished product is highly processed. If you
make your own flour, it might be less than highly processed, but
processed nonetheless. And I would imagine doing the processing yourself
would be a major PITA.

I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything...

When someone tells me highly processed (IE
frozen dinners) I immediately equate this to many additives to keep things
fresh...etc.


While adding preservatives, coloring, and various crap *may* be part of
processing for some foods, that's not the definition of "process" (you
could ask Knapik for that definition, or just look here
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=process ).
