I have never disagreed that SDA primarily promotes a vegetarian diet. Never the less as the study shows many SDA ists are vegan, and they have better health.
re processed food, if eat eating proceeded food is good, eg kills bacteria in meat and increase the available energy content of starchy foods, then why is it bad that vegans have to eat some processed food. If you think you could be healthy on an diet of unprocessed food, then you will run the risk of getting food poisoning from all the raw meat you will be eating.

Just because I gave a silly comparison argument doesn't negate that.
nope, you just don't understand what a logical fallacy is. Benny's argument is correct.

As for your answer, I'm not saying I don't eat processed foods. I might from time to time go a week or even two without any processed foods in my diet. But my point is that you are reliant upon them and I am not. I don't have to eat a single thing that comes out of a package and was made in a factory.
so the only thing you eat in these weeks of not eating processed food is raw meat, raw veg, fruit, milk and nuts. No bread or anything made from flour, no pasta, no vegetables which can't be eaten raw eg potatoes, no pulses which have to be cooked eg beans or lentils. is this the case? There is nothing wrong with eating processed food. Some processed food is good for health some bad. just like eating raw meat is generally bad.
