Foods that are on my BAD list:
- Peanuts. deathly allergic. and I love them. It is a horrible combination.
- Soybeans. allergic (since infancy). For some reason they're added to almost everything.
- Oysters. Because they're just gross and smell awful. Personal preference.
- Anything that smells fishy. Same as above
- Brussel's sprouts. Takes too much butter to make them edible.
- Mushy apples. Life is too short for that.
There's no accounting for personal preferences, but I'm not going to justify my tastes/preferences/allergies by claiming they're BAD for everyone.
Foods that are on my GOOD list:- Cookies. Particularly homemade, with butter. Yum!
- Avocados. I know of nothing else as good at getting me to eat lettuce.
- Ice cream. Made with real cream and sugar. Pretty much a perfect food.
- Hamburger. So versatile. So useful.
- Turkey. In almost any form, although ground turkey is a little unreliable imo.
- Lasagna. Its a pan of heaven.
- Bananas. They're yummy.
- Grape Nuts with sugar and milk. Easy and quick and tasty way to get 7g fiber.
"Good" and "Bad" are terribly subjective terms. And I don't like applying moral judgments to food. What you eat is not your character.0 -
Bad is such a bad word. It can mean "low quality", "unhealthy" or "sinful" and the whole "bad food" dispute gets lost in semantics. Most foods can be eaten in moderate amounts, but some foods are hard to moderate for many, if the amount that will satisfy you is way more than you need.0

Ok thanks. I had mentioned earlier "But again, it seems to me that many people on here aren't eating enough fruits and vegetables (even on a mostly regular basis) to meet those particular RDAs." I can see that your are an exception to that, as the 3.5 servings of spinach you had both days made up a significant component of your potassium intake.Gianfranco_R wrote: »ForecasterJason wrote: »

When the CDC recommends a daily multivitamin (for women of childbearing ages). The FDA goes further and recommends supplements for a wide variety of populations which have chronic malnutrition issues.
In short, there's a great deal of pragmatism in the recommendation for many people to take daily multivitamins. OBVIOUSLY if you're on medication that is counterindicated for it, you shouldn't take it. But far more people, and *especially dieters* run chronic micronutrient deficiencies that can be easily and cheaply corrected without necessitating major changes in diet.
Look, I get it. People want to be "clean," "healthy," and "natural". But eschewing a daily multivitamin for this emotional reason, and worse, advocating everyone else do so as well, makes no more sense than refusing to use antibiotics when you get a staph infection because *most* people survive them without medical intervention.
Malnutrition is common among obese individuals in the USA! I wouldn't be surprised if this is also true in other developed nations. { The Malnutrition of Obesity: Micronutrient Deficiencies that Promote Diabetes } That makes awareness about micronutrient deficiencies fairly critical in empowering individuals to make decisions that affect their health. But, practically, that also means offering solutions that don't require tremendous amounts of effort or money, because most people aren't motivated to make significant changes for an uncertain long-term payoff (far more people who are overweight/obese will never develop diabetes, for example, than will).

OP I'm with you. I'm not going to pretend that a Keebler cookie is not 'bad' food. Doesn't mean I won't eat it, doesn't mean I feel guilty about it either (as long as I only eat one or two), but I'd be in denial if I didn't realize that there could be better choices.
Why would a Keebler cookie be a "bad" food if you've eaten a balanced diet all day, are within your calorie goals, have hit/come reasonably close to your macro goals, and are having that cookie as a snack because you have room under your calorie limit for it and it sounds good at the moment?
Context and dosage. No such thing as bad foods, but there is such a thing as a bad diet/eating habits overall. A Keebler cookie, or a bowl of ice cream, or a Big Mac or french fries or whatever aren't "bad" within the context of an overall balanced diet. Subsisting mostly or entirely upon those items would be a bad idea, just as subsisting entirely upon a diet of broccoli or kale or fresh fruits or chicken would be.
Driving through a school zone at 40 mph at 7:30 am on a weekday would be bad. Driving through a school zone at 40 mph at 1:00 am on a Saturday wouldn't carry the same risks. Context.
A-fricking-men.
I just think there are two views on this issue and I doubt anyone here is going to change anyone else's mind. Bottom line? I think the right attitude for this whole site is "do what works for you." If labeling something as 'bad' helps you? Terrific. Others, like me, might not agree, but what does that matter? Do what works as long as you aren't hurting yourself.
In general I agree with you, that since different people may have different reasons to choose or restrict certain foods, we should just let people make their own choices. However, there are many people who come to these forums with clear misconceptions about food based on clickbait articles, things they've heard from friends about "bad foods", etc. When people have the mindset that certain foods are "bad" and must be avoided at all costs, it can often set them up for failure because if they do indulge in one of those foods, then they throw everything out the window and just give up. That's why I think it is important to continue to have these discussions and make sure that we do talk about things like context and dosage and that there is no such thing as a bad individual food, there may be bad foods for an individual or bad diets made of lots of individual foods...

^ Exactly. Most times the OP's mind is already made up and won't be changed. But hopefully other readers who are more open to actual science and common sense rather than woo will get something from it and maybe not go down an unnecessarily restrictive/silly path with false hopes for something that will make no difference.0 -

I still maintain that there are 'bad' foods. This doesn't mean that I never eat any of them, I do so in moderation. I'm afraid I cannot go along with we must never say there are such things as bad food because some people will be set up for failure because they eat too much, or none of them. edit.

Every food if eaten in high enough volume or too frequently can be harmful. So does that mean all foods are bad and therefore becomes a useless description?
Doesn't too much water cause cramps etc by removing salt.
Don't a lot of fruits and vegetables cause either constipation or diarrhoea (sp?) if eaten in high enough quantities.

yet those are my best days -as for potassium intake- in the last 90 (even if I must say I logged my food no more than 20 days in total), and the average is around 4000 mg. On the other hand, there are many data base entries simply lacking the potassium amount.
All in all, it is not easy but is doable (eating plenty of fruit and vegetables).0 -
Of course there are bad foods, items that are barely food at all but are food-like substances in pretty packages with pictures of actual food on the label but little to no nutritional value. In small amounts they may not kill you or even make you fat, but they are exactly the opposite of good. In other words, bad.

Exactly vaguelyvegan - all I am saying is for goodness sake people own up to the fact that not every foodstuff available to you is good for you.

I agree, the problem is once we being to label foods good and bad it sets its up for self destruction if we step out of the good food zone willingly or unwilling. That's something i just can't subscribe to.0 -

No it doesn't set you up for self-destruction - you make choices, mine is lots of good, little bit of bad - you make things work your way.

Initially you're probably right however I'm talking long term. And so you're clear I'm not anti processed food, I'm anti the good & bad food labelling. It's all fuel to me, I just choose the kind that makes me feel awesome, 90% of the time.0 -

My OH says he relates to you but then he doesn't have a weight problem.

Go ask a vegan, a vegetarian, a paleo dieter, a keto dieter, an IIFYM'er and an orthorexic what their definitions of "good" and "bad" foods are. Be sure to let us know what kind of consensus you reach.
Maybe then you'll understand why some say that "good" and "bad" are vague, arbitrary terms based entirely upon personal opinion. Dem feelz =/= science or common sense.0 -

You shouldn't have a weight problem eating like that, that's why I do it. Makes maintaining 10% bf year round pretty easy tbh.0 -
Good and bad are not vague terms, they are absolute. You can never have good without bad.0

I agree, no one is disputing whether they're vague or not. Out of curiosity when you eat say a bad food and it wasn't planned, what are your initial thoughts?0

Then go ask a vegan and a keto dieter if they consider an all-natural, free-range organic chicken breast as good or bad. See how absolute your absolute is.0
