Can I petition MFP users to use the terms "more ideal" and "less ideal" instead of good/bad foods?

    So what I've learned is this: Point car South, drive to Dogfish Head, invite MFPers, consume beer. Got it.

    I'm in southern NJ and the brewery is about an hour from my front door, so if you're passing this way, scoop a brother up!

    That would be most ideal.

    Not being able to have decent beer is one of the crueler aspects of having celiac disease.

    I'm in South Jersey too. Send me pictures.

    Suffer no longer! Come with us to the brewery...Dogfish Head makes a gluten free beer that replaces barley with a sorghum base. It's on the list in the 2nd link. They ship to NJ...

    Where are you in the dirty Jerz?

    ROAD TRIP!!!!!

    Only by a couple miles! I'm in Bellmawr. My wife's new job is in Mt. Laurel/Moorestown (she's right there on the edge off of Fellowship) and her old one was in Bishop's Gate. If you're at home right now, you're actually closer to my entire family than I am at the moment!

    Yeah, that list looked really good. I might have to try those and I eat ALL the gluten!

    No way. I live a stone's throw from Bishop's Gate. I work out in the LA fitness across the street from it.

    Yes it is a sad fact of life, some of us have to go to work and I was not about to call in sick in order to reply.

    As for you getting flagged, it was not me, I was already out the door and on my way to work. If I have something to say, make no mistake, I say it.

    As for Nony and Mamapeach, you have some bizarre hang up over my eating habits and I am afraid you are going to have to deal with it on your own as I am not about to waste my time explaining anything to you. Where do you get some of these notions that "I have it stuck inside my head that only paleo people use fresh ingredients and home cook." That is not what I think at all.

    Nony, how on earth do I do a report on my own diary when I don't log. There is nothing in my diary, it is completely blank. I have repeatedly told people I don't log, you must have missed that bit in your obsessive assessment of my life and eating habits. The thread has gone so I will not be discussing it further, suffice to say I didn't do the report and it was not done on MFP.

    I actually pay very little attention to you, generally skip over your posts because, well...(and that would be why I had no idea you don't log), but you deliberately went after MamaPeach the other week, said you had printed out and analysed her diary, were highly critical of her food choices, and said you had run a 90 day report on her diary and found it lacking in several vitamins and minerals. I am still completely puzzled as to how you run reports on other people's diaries, and surmised that it was actually your own, which you'd done by clicking on 'reports' while looking at MamaPeach's diary. Or are you now denying you did any of that? Seriously, you are the one with a bizarre fixation on other people's eating habits lady (see above re printing out someone else's diary!). And saying you won't discuss it further is a cop out.

    FYI - There is no way for someone to run a report on another member. So LeenaGee saying that she did is actually a complete lie. It's not a function MFP has. If she did have the report then she could post the information. But she doesn't because again, she's lying. She can prove to everyone that she's not lying by showing the evidence.

    Maybe she went into excel and made her own report? If she prints out 90 days worth of diary of another person, I wouldn't put it past her.

    Well, you can print something of a report, or maybe look at least... but you can't see micronutrients, which she claimed to have seen. I don't know how Excel would have done an analysis on those.

    Sounds like someone had way too much time on her hands if you ask me.

    As for the argument of "good or bad" and whatnot, can we all do like Elsa and "let it go"? ;) The poor horse has been beaten so much, there's nothing left but a dusty spot now!

    Now, back to lurking....

    No...she has to work (unlike the rest of us), remember? And her family is visiting. No way she'd have time for that ;)

    Yup. That is seriously the only way to do it. Which is.... I figured I was being kind thinking she must have run the reports on her own diary and just thought she was doing MamaPeach's, but since she says hers is empty this is the only alternative.

    I 100% support this post/idea! It drives me nuts to see people give food labels such as "good" and "bad". Obviously we all know that there are certain foods that are more optimal as far as nutrition and vitamin content and that promote more weight loss, but at the end of the day ALL food can fit into a balanced meal plan. Your body will still break those foods you label "bad" down and use the nutrients in them for energy and vital body functions. Food is just food. It is not good or bad, it is what it is and your body knows what to do with it!

    Does everyone agree with this post? At first glance, my guess is that a lot of people do. Sorry if I'm wrong. If indeed this is a reflection of the MFP crowd, how did you come to adopt this mindset?

    Especially this:

    "Your body will still break those foods you label "bad" down and use the nutrients in them for energy and vital body functions. Food is just food. It is not good or bad, it is what it is and your body knows what to do with it! "

    Is there evidence that this is the case? Is there scientific rationale for this? If so, I would like to be pointed towards that evidence.

    You...you want evidence that the body will break down "less ideal" food? I think I'm not allowed to post poo pictures on here.

    You want evidence of ... digestion?

    is your argument that you don't get nutrients out of bad foods because they are bad?

    I really don't see what you find so hard to believe about this post....

    You'd think so, right? No. I have to add the glitter post production.
