When I read the thread title, I thought it was about peanut butter alternatives... 
Okay- some vegan convenience foods and meat/milk/egg substitutes are highly processed, compared to tofu or white flour. But so long as they're not unhealthy, I see nothing wrong with including them. I also see nothing wrong with someone caring about their own health, as well as the animals they are not exploiting.

The mere mention of vegan foods turns meat omnivores into sustainable, organic, pasture raised meat eaters only

There are no alternatives for peanut butter. It is a food group all by itself.

It's my fault, as I abbreviated the two words as it made the title too long.
@shyvas That makes sense. Even so, by now I should think of "plant-based" first when I see PB.

Reminds of someone who claimed that Beyond Meat was ultraprocessed so they won't eat it and will eat chicken instead. I reminded them that factory farmed chicken is also highly processed e.g. the chicken are not fed their usual diet and this leads to a very high omega 6:3 ratio, so it would be healthier to buy the more expensive pasture-raised chicken. Faced with paying more for chicken, they decided that they don't care about ultraprocessing anymore and claimed that salt content is how they decide what to eat.

PB&J have been around a lot longer than PB foods. my suggestion is to use the phrase "PB Foods" when not discussing PBWhen I read the thread title, I thought it was about peanut butter alternatives...
