    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 like sauerkraut... basically fermented, rotten cabbage.

    :)
    This made me laugh!

    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...

    Right? I ate cheesecake for breakfast yesterday. I'm totally a failure, and sabotaging everyone with my choices ;)

    Oh no cheesecake! (What kind and where's the pictures??)!

    It was a tiramisu/cheesecake fusion thing. It was INCREDIBLE. It was one slice of this, (stashed in the freezer to hide it from hubby) leftover from Valentine's Day:

    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.

    But all food is not created equally and some is more healthier than other.

    Food choice has everything to do with a healthy diet.

    Now weight loss and body comp, that has less to do with food choice.

    Weight loss - purely calories.

    Body comp - macros.

    so you are saying that 100 calories of twinkies does not equal 100 calories of green beans?

    I have never once argued against the bolded part.

    I thought it was quite clear what I was saying?

    Hey what we choose to get up to is of no business of yours.

    I'm sure whatever we get up to will be defined as 'clean'

    define "healthy"

    if I eat both and hit my calorie/micro/macro target for the day then what does it matter?

    no, you are never clear; or you are just being intentionally unclear…my guess is the later...
