I think the key word here is "processed," not "carbs" or "meat." In general, it seems pretty obvious that humans are omnivores, and that a balanced diet of various food-types, in a fairly natural form, should be most suitable to our digestive system.
I don't think vegans are really that big on processed foods-- in fact, I've met no vegan who says, "Yum, bleached white bread for breakfast." Usually, they are looking at whole-grains, fruits and vegetables-- pretty much aiming for the same kind of macro-nutrients that anyone else should eat, but maybe with trouble getting the calories for a "bulky" build if they want a lot of muscle.
