Can you define clean as it relates to diet? What field is that a term of art in?

Clean = no processed foods. No man made chemicals. No seed oils. Oils that can be extracted by cold expeller pressing or churning are okay.

Everything you eat is as close to the way it was when it was living at the time you eat it. Obviously cooking is okay, but best to bake instead of fry when practical.

So what does the term "clean" offer over the more descriptive "unprocessed foods" which was part of the given definition?

Potato, po-ta-to.

There are also some foods which would probably meet the definition of unprocessed for many people which wouldn’t necessarily be considered clean by most people following they sort of diet … eg: fresh squeezed apple juice.
