    Look people..she stated she needed inspirational clean eating friends since that is her goal. Insulting her for not being like you says more about you, then her. Let's lift up, and not knock down. We are all in this together with different goals. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. It is counterproductive to this site's goal, which is to help one another.

    i guess you missed the part where she blasted someones food diary for having cookie dough in it...

    Just think how pissed off the "clean eaters" are going to be 20 - 40 years from now (or whatever number gets them to the golden years) when they realize, it was all for nothing...

    Actually you are wrong here. I'll explain why - once we leave certain foods from our diet we pretty much don't care about them.

    I stopped eating ice cream when I was I think 14 - 15 years old. I would get severe chest congestion. The doc asked me to stop eating it for some time because they wanted to pin point the cause of these flares. Ice cream was the reason.

    Anyway fast forward to 2015, I don't miss it one bit. It's been 28 years I haven't eaten ice cream.

    what a sad, sad existence that must be….

    What an obtuse statement!!!

    The site's goal is to help one another?

    Helping one another is knocking a friend who logs cookie dough in the diary publicly... yea that's helpful

    Who are you to judge if they are doing it right?

    What exactly is doing it right?

    The thing is, everyone's standard for food is not the same, and I think that's why people on both sides aren't going to understand. What someone may think of as being fine to eat someone else may consider "bad" to eat. I mean, there were a couple instances I had 70% dark chocolate at breakfast. It wasn't even that much (less than an ounce), but a couple people (not on MFP) that knew I ate that thought that I shouldn't be doing that at breakfast.

    The only food that is bad, is rotten food.

    i guess you still don't get it..

    food is not good or bad, so there is no need to assign a moralistic value to it.

    food is just energy that fuels your body, period, end of story.

    I like sauerkraut... basically fermented, rotten cabbage.
