Anything that you could have picked from the plant yourself (a pear, a carrot, a berry) AND has not been sprinkled with conservants/pesticides/shiny gloss is unprocessed. If it comes in a package and looks nothing like what nature gives (noodles, cookies, jell-o), it's been processed.
Raw milk also counts as unprocessed, but in the 21st century there's no excuse to be drinking raw milk.
So, it doesn't make sense to talk about processed meats, if you can't pick them from plants?
If I roast my carrot, does it become processed?
I'm assuming you value your health and thus don't eat any raw meat, so all of it is going to be processed---if only at your own kitchen.
By the same standard, a roasted carrot is, technically speaking, "processed." However, what food geeks usually think of when they say "processed" involves a massive industrial plant where your food is filled with additives to compensate for all the vitamins it loses after being crushed and dehydrated. Too often it ends up with an inhuman amount of salt and/or sugar added to it, too.
