I wouldn't really call this completely processes. It's just soy flour mechanically processed with some seasoning. I'd put it into the same category as fish sticks or chicken nuggets. Not something I would eat every day, but if someone wants to do it, they'll be fine.

...Fish sticks and chicken nuggets are some of the more iconic "highly processed foods" out there though? And think about it, "just soy flour with seasoning" sure, but what about the "meat" on the bones? That's going to be soy flour and a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fats, binders, textural elements, seasoning, thickeners and so on.

Basically the soy-flour bones are just one additional element, it's not like people are going to be buying them on their own, they'd realize that they're just seasoned dog treats.

Oh no, some fats and fibers.

I can't think of anything that is more processed than fish sticks or chicken nuggets.

Plant based pork ribs.....

So blending a fish and pressing it back together with some flour is the most processed thing you can think of? If that's the case, maybe there is nothing wrong with processed foods.
