Kalikel--
One thing I missed and want to address.
Me:But thanks to another poster I now get how you are using the term and it makes more sense to me, although I don't really think of food so much that way, but in connection with an overall diet. (This is because I think the desire to rank foods and all that is really bizarre and impossible. How on earth do you even start to compare chicken and zucchini or some such. And why?)
You:I assume the word you're referencing is "context" and I use it the way the majority of people outside this forum use it.
I'm not really following your answer. But to be clear, I'm talking about the post from MakePeas, who helpfully explained that you (or those on your side of this discussion) were using "healthy" to mean "studies indicate that eating this food generally has positive effects on the overall health of a population" or some such, whereas "unhealthy" would mean "eating more of this food generally has negative effects on the health of a population" (I'm extrapolating the unhealthy definition from his or her definition of healthy).
That was helpful, because as MakePeas correctly noted, those of us on the other side of the discussion are using "healthy" and "unhealthy" to mean "has a negative effect on the health of an individual given the circumstances" or something like that. I think that's the sensible thing to discuss, since that's what matters. For example, the issue of whole grains were brought up, and the argument made that it's recommended for the US population as a whole to eat more whole grains in place of refined grains, because of fiber, mostly, or an excessive consumption of refined carbs. But if I eat almost no refined carbs and get lots of fiber, is it unhealthy for me to eat a piece of French bread? Presumably not. Is the French bread "unhealthy"? No, not in and of itself. However, it might be considered such for someone who (like the hypothetical average American that the recommendation is made with consideration of) eats a great deal of refined carbs and gets an inadequate amount of fiber already.
Beyond this, I do think there's a tendency to speak about food with lots of positive qualities (nutrient dense foods) as "healthy" and I have no problem with that really, although I think it's incomplete or imprecise. My bigger issue is with calling foods that have a mix of qualities, some more questionable (like high calories) or less ideal than some others (lower nutrient density, especially when compared with calories) unhealthy. That's where you and I disagree the most, I think, as you seem to refer to higher fat foods as "unhealthy" on the whole (presumably with the exception of stuff like avocado and maybe nuts). But I don't think that fat is all that bad, so I'm skeptical of considering something like butter or even whole milk yogurt "unhealthy." I'd say that really does depend on the context, especially how much you eat, what else you eat, etc.
But on the whole I just think this comes down to whether you think it is useful to think of foods as bad and good or healthy and not. I think it's fine to think of foods as especially healthy, but I don't really see the point of thinking of something as unhealthy if it doesn't actually hurt your health, at least not in moderation. My homemade apple pie is indulgent, or calorie dense, sure, but unless you have some sort of preexisting health issue not unhealthy in the sense that it will hurt you. Is it better to focus on incorporating vegetables in your meals and not pie? Sure, a diet shouldn't be built around pie, but I don't think that means that it has to be considered a bad food.
(It's kind of funny given how much I seem to talk about pie around here that I had it maybe 3 times last year. But it certainly did not hurt my health any of those three times!)0 -

I ate mcdonalds once a week at least, sometimes more for 7 months & lost 75lbs because I was at a calorie deficit - I was certainly healthier overall after that than I was 75lbs heavier.
Also have a watch of "fat head" documentary - it features a man who ate fast food everyday and was able to improve his over all health "stats" the documentary was a direct 'answer' to 'supersize me' & is free to view on youtube - very interesting.
It's all in the context I think, deconstruct a burger or similar & it's not entirely different from what would be considered a balanced meal, a good balance of fats, protein & carbohydrate with some micronutrients thrown in there with the vegetables; of course you'd have to disregard the high salt & refined* sugar content, but it's still relative.0 -

This debate each and very week is so tired. Everyone, just eat whatever you want. Why does it matter what others eat? I know what I think is healthy, and I eat that. You know what you think is healthy, and you eat that. The fact that someone likes to eat food that you choose not to has no effect on your life. That is all.0

I kind of agree. It's whether it furthers your goals given your overall diet. But that's why you can't say (under this theory) that peanut M&M's ARE unhealthy. You can say "peanut M&Ms are unhealthy for me." I don't really think there's much disagreement about that, as that considers your overall diet and goals, presumably. (I could be wrong.)For me, for example, today I had homemade hummus w/fresh vegetables - I consider that healthy food. I also had peanut m&m's. I consider that unhealthy food. I had room in my calories for it, but it still serves no useful purpose towards *my* overall health or *my* weight loss efforts. So *for me* and *what I eat*, m&m's are not healthy food.
I'm curious about why you are using "not healthy food" and "unhealthy food" interchangeably here. I'd say there are plenty of foods that don't actively contribute something I'm looking for or in need of in my diet but that also are not harmful. I'd say those aren't especially healthy foods for me, but also are not unhealthy. (I'd consider something like cereal in this category--I don't like it and don't feel like I'm missing anything, as I get enough fiber from sources I enjoy, but I also don't think it's bad for me.)What confuses me, however, is the constant battle about it. Do you really care that my gauge *for me* is whether it advances *my* overall health and weight loss efforts, and so for me I think m&m's are not healthy?
I think the discussion is more general or theoretical than that. I don't think anyone cares how other people make decisions about what to eat, at least not unless they decide to preach that everyone else should do the same (the sugar is the devil crowd).

Yes. Just look at the ingredient list.
Where your nutrients, fat, carbs, etc. are coming from do matter.
oh really??? care to elaborate?
so if my macors are 35p/35c/30 fats and I hit them all with eggs, chicken, rice, bread, etc and then filled in rest of day with ice cream and some cookies, you are saying that is an unhealthy day just because I got 500 - 600 from ice cream and cookies...really?
As I said, look at the ingredients. That is, unless you're going with organic or natural. It's not necessarily the food itself that's the problem. Food colorings and artificial flavors? Preservatives and other chemicals they put in a lot of foods? No thank you.
First, all food has "chemicals" so unless you are drinking pure water you are ingesting *gasp* chemiclas.
That post you made actually made no sense. All you did was list ingredients in a pizza and pick what you thought was unhealthy. Which there was absolutely no reason why it would have been healthy.
Interesting, I wasn't aware that there was a rule on what belongs in a pizza.
There should be. Pepperoni - NO, pineapple - yes.
you're saying pepperoni doesn't belong on a pizza- but pineapple does?
At no point- outside of sauce- does fruit belong on a pizza.
Ever.
Yuck. no.
meat- cheese- sauce.
yes.
fruit? nope nope nope.
Pineapple and cream cheese pizza.
Pepperoni would be my second choice.
chicken, feta, pineapple, black olives, sliced tomato ….BOOM …

If the definition of healthy is "whatever you want it to be", then those who say no food is healthy are right.
If "health" and "healthy" are defined, then some foods will fit the definition and some won't.
Insisting that "healthy" cannot be defined will not stop others from defining words and using them according to the definitions. I'm not saying you, personally, insist that the word cannot be defined. I do routinely dismiss the idea that the word cannot be defined or applied to diets (and, by extension, individual foods, as individual foods comprise diets.)
What I eat has nothing to do with what I think you should eat. We don't disagree about your diet. If you say it's healthy, I believe you. I'm not on a mission to make everyone eat what I eat. I don't even enjoy some of what I eat. For a long time, i didn't enjoy any of what I ate except fruit and granola, lol. I eat it because that's what I need to do. Me. Not you.
I really (honest to God!) don't care what anyone on this board eats. I barely care about what the people I love eat, lol. It is kind of fun to discuss choices, struggles and recipes, though...especially with those who have the same goals.
Either you or Sabine eats some kind of bread that I keep meaning to try and keep forgetting what it was. I go look for the thread, but can't find it. I think it's a monosyllabic name. Next time I see it, I'm writing it down. That, to me, is far more interesting than whether or not some individual poster eats too much fat or manganese or whatever.0 -
