Dirty Secrets of The Food Processing Industry Written by Sally Fallon We have always processed our food; this is an activity that is uniquely human. We chop, soak, cook and ferment our food - as well as grind and dry - these are all types of processing. Traditional processing has two functions: to make food more digestible and to preserve it for use during times when food isn’t readily available.
