Actually, I would say that processed and refined food should actually be labeled as a drug. Why? Because, a refined or processed food has been refined to remove all traces of nutrition leaving behind basically only one substance to act on the body. For example, sugar or flour. Both of these are refined to remove all traces of the whole foods they came from leaving only the sweet (or starch) which is empty and devoid of any real nutritional value. Sure, it offers a carb, but you can get carbs from any whole real food.

Processed foods are very similar. They are processed to remove almost all real nutritional value leaving behind only those things which can act aggresively and quickly once in the body.

Only drugs offer this similar benefit. Speeding themselves to the parts of the body they affect without much digestion. Except refined sugar and flour and processed foods go directly to the hips, thighs and stomach instead of giving a high (well, they do give an insulin high). Worse, they offer no clear benefit for the body other than tricking it into thinking it's a nutritional food and then realizing it isn't (when you're hungry again in 1 hour).

These types of foods should be labeled as a drug, not a food.
