These vegan meat brands taste almost as good as the real thing. Taste tests prove it.

I can definitely tell you’re not trying to convert anyone to veganism. If anything, I’d say you’re trying to keep people from becoming vegan.
I just don't see it as a religion to force down other people's throats.
And from your other comment, oils are processed foods on top of the fake meats still containing preservatives.
I'm glad you don't shit yourself, that means you don't need to pay attention to my warning about MC in the fake meats. Some people have reactions to it, though. Are you also going to tell me that Lactose Intolerance is bullshit because you've never shit your pants from drinking milk?
If I added some olive oil to a recipe, I wouldn’t consider it processed. Here are the ingredients of Impossible burger meat:

The only preservatives in there are cultured dextrose and vitamin E. Vitamin E occurs naturally in meat anyway, and cultured dextrose is just dextrose that’s been fermented. It’s used as a natural preservative in tons of foods, including deli meats.
Nothing in there is something I would consider “processed”, but I guess that depends on your definition of processed. If fermentation is “processed”, then tons of healthy natural foods are processed, including yogurt, cheese, kombucha, and sauerkraut.
It's a spectrum, not black and white. Ranges from minimal- to ultra-processed. I'm referencing anything more than minimal (which is as simple as slicing an apple). I have less GSI issues when my intake is raw and whole.

So yes, I would consider all those things you listed as processed.
Processed water is an interesting concept.
Or do you just mean cheese and yogurt etc?
I feel like the label just becomes useless if something like a bowl of oats is “processed”.
