There is a lot of truth to this

Processed food, is easier to digest, more nutritious, less likely to contain deadly bacteria/viruses, lasts longer.

The real problem is our dumb bodies and brains have no sense of moderation and we consume too much.

The only real problem that isn’t an adaptation issue is the preservatives, digestion is essentially a sped up form of decomposition if our food doesn’t rot it doesn’t digest.

Yeah. Our bodies are doing the right thing after millions of years of evolution. When you find something high fat high carb and salty, go crazy before the bear kills you. It just doesn't know that there's infinitely more food and almost no chance of a bear attacking you. We developed food much faster than our brains could adapt.

At the same time, we are not just our bodies but also our gut biome, and they particularly enjoy less processed foods, high in fiber, highly fermentable, and still intact even after crossing stomach.

Did you just assume our bear threat level??? What if we live in Detroit??? I mean, I assume bears frequently roam Detroit's streets with how run down it is....

Or what about San Fransisco? I hear there's TONS of bears there!

Likewise, if you try to lose weight, millions of years of conditioning kick in. Your body thinks its starving to death and acts accordingly.

You're right. Though each time I try to go in calorie deficit I can see that first few days feel awful and then suddenly my body is able to be content with 500 calorie deficit easily for months until I indulge again for day 2-3 days. Almost as if it accepts the fate until more food is available.

Also, processed foods are usually made with lower quality ingredients in unbalanced ratios.

Just look at how high quality medically prescribed balanced food can be and compare that against the average breakfast cereal or training supplement.
