Clean Eating: no processed/refined foods, no high sugar/fat foods, or no foods with dirt on them?

There's a program on UK telly about some ex-pat Estate Agents in Spain. I watch it sometimes because it's based near where my Spanish home is, so I keep an eye on the house prices
what's my point?
One of the estate agents in the show (called Damon if you care) introduces himself by saying "I sell houses and eat clean". I just want to punch his smug little face every time he says it.
Thanks for the opportunity to vent.

odds are they were not comparing your trolley contents - that is just your perception.
Clouded by fact you do that to other people's carts
It was an anecdotal comment. He looked at his items on the belt, then looked at mine and glanced at me. He looked back at his and gave an slight shoulder shrug. It is a story about how I perceived the brief exchange. It is quite possible that he gave that look because he just crapped himself.
Come on people I explain that I see what others place in their cart and it is like I am looking in their windows to some of you. "Its none of my business" yes I get it but when you see someone dressed inappropriately you notice don't you? Well its none of your business. It is just a random observation and nothing more. This exercise in going to the literal extreme is ridiculous. The phrase "shop the perimeter of the store" is a generalization that causes multiple people to say well I saw car wash or drain cleaner there so should I eat that? I relate a simple story and I get its none of my business (huh I didn't get the camera out and interview the event) or I am not a mind reader. Its a story not a deposition in a murder trail.
It is kind of like "Clean Eating" it is a generalization. It means something different to each person. It cannot be defined. Yet here we are on page 6 of it again.
Yes it is a story about how your perceived the breif exchange - exactly what I said.
It is just your perception. You are not a mind reader and you do not know what he was pondering.
Odds on he wasnt pondering how superior your choices were, as you seem to think
Just like you do not know anything about the people whose carts you peep into ( your words) to make yourself feel superior.
I gave the real life example of myself with a cart filled with chocolates, crisps, crates of soda and crates of alcohol - you could randomly observe that and you would have no idea of the story behind it.
I don't know anything about people whose carts I observe (not peek) ? I beg to differ. I can see they are obese, I can see they having trouble walking, I can speculate they are or becoming insulin resistant and lastly I can see they are eating sugar and carb in a very high percentage of their diet. But that is just my mind reading power going off the rails. They are more likely be on their way to the gym after they drop off all the junk food at the food bank right before stocking up at the farmers market.
I have gone down this road farther than I should have. Sorry if I have offended anyone as that is not my intention. I was just chit chatting about something that was what I thought was related to Clean Eating all be it remotely. I will wander back to the Keto groups where we are all superior together...I kidd, I kidd.
"Peek into their carts" was the word you used - now it is just "observe".
Interesting.
I am not obese.
I gave my real life example of me buying for our sports club and having a trolley full of nothing but chocolates, crisp, crates of soda and beer.
If I were obese and buying for our club, trolley would be full of same things. The clubs requirements wouldnt change - but your conclusions about me eating the contents wrongly would.
So, yes, your mind reading powers, both in conclusions of other people's trolley contents and other people's percieved glances at your superior food are quite likely wrong - or going off the rails, as you put it.

Yawn! "I an not obese" Who cares if you are obese?9

The cookies in my cart are for the skinnier of our pair.4

Yawn! "I an not obese" Who cares if you are obese?
Well probably nobody in Internet land - but that wasn't my point.
My point was that my trolley of chocolates, crisps, soda, beer would be exactly the same whether I am obese or skinny. Since I am buying for our sports club.
But you would be making conclusions about my diet, my insulin resistance etc on basis of my cart contents.
And overall point being you really do not know anyone else's story to jump to any conclusions - I thought that point was clear in my last post but maybe you didn't read all of it?
PS always fascinates me on forums when somebody doesn't care enough to post that they don't care.
It's a bit like poking somebody to tell them you are ignoring them

I've actually been inspired: I've changed the name of my MFP blog to "Eating Beautiful," and posted my (tongue-in-cheek) Official List of Rules for "Eating Beautiful".Evelyn_Gorfram wrote: »

(Lest anyone think that I have superhuman distillation capabilities, while the name was very much born out of this thread, most of the rest of that post was sourced elsewhere.)
