We can say you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct, but it is not in that sense I mean processed.
I don’t intend to see people eat all their food raw (although some do go that route; my respect, more power to them) and cooking tends to make things more digestible.
But industrially processed foods are not healthy. Yes, exceptions exist, like frozen vegetables (and even then, some companies add preservatives to it) but those are exceptions, not norms.
I’m not fearful of chemistry. Well, perhaps of nitroglycerin. That is scary chemistry.
What I don’t enjoy is having unnecessary chemicals added to my food. Or any food. Like excess salt, sugar, fat, artificial colorings and sweetners, flavor enhancers, etc.
Processed does not mean bad. A carrot smoothie is processed.

Why? What makes them unhealthy?
I’d invite you to read the label of a few processed (junk) food items for answers on that.
Oh no, chemistry! How scary!
Cheeky!
