She swears by that madness! 
I was going to try this, but I have this weird speech thing where I can't pronounce neighbor, so I'm pretty sure trying would kill me from chemikilz.
Was that a remark at how I spelt neighbour? That is how it is spelt in the UK. Unless you really do have a pronunciation problem, which is unfortunate.
I think it was a remark at the posters saying they wouldn't eat anything they couldn't pronounce. Although I don't think @senecarr is actually going to eat his neighbor, so I don't know why it matters...

No, I wasn't implying I couldn't pronounce it because of the colour of your honour. Sorry if it came out that way. It is a joke on not eating things you can't pronounce, and neighbor was about the most difficult to pronounce word I could find your sentence.0 -

This is an internet forum, you're not supposed to be calm and accept the most charitable interpretation. We're supposed to start being one step above threatening to fist fight in a parking lot somewhere.0 -

I am far from a clean eater and am interested in why eating "processed" foods, in a balanced diet, is inherently bad?
My two sample days:
Yesterday
Breakfast: Special K Breakfast sandwich, coffee with liquid creamer
Lunch: leftovers which included jambalaya from a box, sautéed veggies, chicken and andouille sausage
Dinner: (total change of plans and last minute dinner at home) frozen fish fillets, noodles from a package, sautéed asparagus
Extras: bakery cookie, wine
Today:
Breakfast: Greek yogurt, Kashi bar, coffee with liquid creamer
Lunch: grilled chicken sandwich with cheese on wheat bun from work cafeteria
Dinner: Whole wheat Rigatoni with homemade tomato sauce and store bought garlic bread.
Extras: macarons from a bakery and wine
Both days under my calorie goal. I'm sure I could eat more veggies. Not a big fruit eater. But what is inherently unhealthy about my meals?
Everyone always assumes if you say you don't eat clean you are sitting around eating nothing but donuts and Doritos. I definitely don't do that. I have a busy life and convenience foods are just that, convenient. I lost my weight and am maintenance and my health markers are great. So why is it that because I dare to enter the middle aisles of the grocery store, is my food "junk"?
I did not say everything in the middle is junk. They are all processed foods. There is a difference. Read it correctly of you are going to try and throw my words back at me lol-1 -

OK...and what's the purpose of separating "processed" from "unprocessed" (if there even is such a thing) then?0 -

I don't care what studies someone might throw at me to show that such-and-such additive in that boxed meal isn't bad for us... I want to cut them out. It makes me feel good to know that I'm cooking food for my family that doesn't have all those additives. Many boxed foods or mixes are also full of sodium and I'd rather cook from scratch, add a bit of salt, then have the eaters add their own salt or seasonings. This is how my family can even eat chili for example, with one who likes his chili SPICY(!) omg... and another who likes is "pretty spicy", and one who wants no spice, and one who would like a teeny bit. ugh. lol So I make my own, with all ingredients that I can pronounce.
For the person up-thread who was arguing that beef is "processed" -- why do some of you just want to argue for the sake of arguing? Seems silly when you know very well what we're talking about when we say "processed food". Of course a steak in the store has been "processed" in some way -- the cow has been killed, then butchered, then packaged, and brought to the store. That's "processing". But obviously that's not the same thing as a frozen dinner or canned soup that has unpronounceable ingredients. lol
Smartest comment yet. Lol. I feel like most are arguing just for the sake of it. People were private messaging me telling me that my forum was going to attacked. I wasn't trying to offend anyone by calling certain sugary foods junk. But that's the way I was brought up and mom and dad always had referred to it as junk food. Didn't say it was a big sin to eat it. People can do what they want and stop trying to mold everyone into doing what they do like that is the CORRECT way. Thanks for this comment. 0 -

We have ourselves a pugilist. Can I still wear my custom made velvet duelling gloves? I'm always looking for any excuse to wear them. 0 -

Seriously, you need to be less defensive. You may have written the original post in this thread, but other people have commented, and some of those other people indicated that anything that was from the middle of the store, was junk. I didn't quote you, so why are you assuming this was directed at you?
Not everything in this thread is about you, not everything is an attack, not everyone who disagrees with you is stuffing their faces with chips and ice cream.
