I've cooked our food from plain ingredients for most of the last 30+ years. Not so much out of concern about processed foods, although avoiding those has been a welcome coincidence-- I just like to cook and we both like to eat good food, with variety, and find the best way to meet our needs is to cook our food at home rather than buying prepared or processed meals. I know that's not a solution that works for everyone, but it works really well for us.
