    Skinny people still can get cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, just saying...

    ?????

    And this is relevant, how?

    Because those are the illnesses that occur due to eating bad foods. How is it not relevant?

    There are no bad foods, there are only bad diets...

    Don't mind him, he's been posting in tons of threads with his holier than thou you must eat all whole foods or you are unhealthy judgemental statementa

    Curious, why does eating whole foods make someone holier than thou?

    The berating of the OP for daring to feed their sick husband a milkshake because he's having trouble getting in enough calories after surgery was especially dear.

    How is giving suggestions berating someone? Why is a milkshake considered nutritious?

    It doesn't, by itself... it's the attitudes that some people have to that lifestyle which gets others' backs up. There are definitely some on these forums who give off the vibe that they think they're better than anyone who dares to eat processed or sugary foods or drink soda, etc. And heaven forbid you set foot in a fast food establishment!

    You may not have meant your statements that way, but it certainly came across as judgemental to imply that we could all get sick because we eat "bad" foods. Like @ccrdragon said, there are no "bad foods". There are some that are less nutritious than others, for sure, but in the context of a diet that's adequate overall there is nothing wrong with eating some of them.

    Labelling foods as "good" or "bad" is what gets some people into a bit of emotional trouble with their attitudes to food and guilt about eating certain things. Our purpose in this thread is to enjoy the foods we love without guilt. :)

    Nailed it.

    I eat and drink whatever I want but I try to stay within my calorie goals, sometimes I do but when I don't I am ok with it and I enjoy.

    You don't see how stating that people caused their illness by eating wrong could be considered offensive?
    If that is the case, all science basically proving the connection to diet and disease is offensive? This has passed into the realm of illogical. I'm done.

    No. You asked why eating whole foods makes one "holier than thou" and I gave you my opinion of why.

    Your one sentence - namely this one...
    Because those are the illnesses that occur due to eating bad foods. How is it not relevant?

    - implied that you think there are such things as "bad foods" and that anyone who eats them is bound to become very sick as a result. Anyone can be at risk of those diseases regardless of how they eat. Anyone. You've never seen an article about an athlete who unexpectedly dropped dead?

    Please do! I'd love to know - and I'm glad to hear you feel so good!
    Will do!

    The berating of the OP for daring to feed their sick husband a milkshake because he's having trouble getting in enough calories after surgery was especially dear.

    How is giving suggestions berating someone? Why is a milkshake considered nutritious?

    context and dosage.

    for example: in a recent thread where a milkshake was suggested the OP was looking for ways to keep her husband's calories up while he cannot have solid food. milkshakes were suggested as an option and would absolutely fit the needs stated. nobody said to forego all nutritious foods and feed him only milkshakes forever and ever amen.

    similarly, in this thread, people are happily sharing delicious foods that they eat within the context of their individual diets. nobody is advocating eating a diet which consists only of one type of food (almost nobody. RIP #easymacdiet dude wherever you are).

    He's alive I'm sure. My kid has autism and he lives on macaroni, chips and banana for the most part with a few select additives like the occasional pbj. His blood tests and vital etc always come out fine. lol.

    Hahaha, hello again-- that one with the husband needing milkshakes was me! And yeah, how ridiculous was that? :p It's really, really hard for some people to live in a middle ground, I think. I really do admire people who eat really really well but there's nothing wrong with a milkshake once in a while. (Especially if you've apparently lived on less than 1,00 calories a day for 3 days!) He's doing better now BTW.

    good to hear! i know how rough that can be, i had my tonsils out when i was 18 and i didn't eat solids for a few weeks (or talk, which made my family very very happy lol) and i accidentally ended up in ketosisv from not consuming enough calories, i remember the smell and it was awful.
