    I keep seeing these "clean food" posts, and I have to admit, what many/most people seem to mean by "clean food" sounds like "food" to me. Am I missing something vital here?

    I agree that whole, local and organic produce, meats and dairy are ideal. But I also consider certain prepackaged foods 'clean' enough for me to enjoy regularly without as much work (if I can't find a 'clean' version, I'll make it but I will use really high quality packaged foods to help save time). Examples: organic hummus made whole ingredients (chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice), organic salsa in a glass jar (avoid cans) with only good ingredients like tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, lemon juice. Can't find a great bread so I make my own whole wheat bread. We grind our own sausage (like chicken, pork, beef) as it's really hard to find 'clean' in the market.

    Basically, look for the most natural, nutritive and organic food items that you have available. And know that there are ways to get it even if you don't have a great grocery store local! For instance,

    Abes Market
    (Online source with free shipping on orders over $49)
    http://AbesMarket.com

    Azure Standard
    (Order online, pick up at one of hundreds of drop points across the nation on a monthly basis.)
    http://AzureStandard.com

    Green PolkaDot Box
    (An online buying club that sells real, organic food!)
    http://www.greenpolkadotbox.com/

    Basically, if you're not already, you're going to need to cook almost everything you eat unless you have good quality substitutes for home cooking.

    Yes. Unless you drop it on the floor and don't pick it up within 3 seconds. BTW, why do you still have that picture up? Have you forgotten that you're being mean? :laugh:

    As for organic food, sometimes i prefer it for the taste,, organic veg seems to have a better flavor... thats the reason i would eat organic.

    Hey everyone. I apologize in advance if this is a repeat thread. I am looking for a source for a list of "clean" foods. I have read several comments about the number of or lack of ingredients making foods clean but I am one who does better with a list to go by is there such a thing available anywhere? Thanks for the help!

    Most clean foods will not have a label. "Clean" refers to natural food. Not foods labelled "natural" but foods that have little or no human involvement in their production. The more involvement man has, the less clean the food.

    If you want to eat clean, then just think whole and natural. As yourself "How close is this food I'm purchasing to it's natural state?"

    Basic rule of thumb - if it has an ingredients list, it isn't "clean".

    Ridiculous. Eat all the food barring personal dislikes & medical needs there is no reason to avoid any food or type. Hit your macros & micros and you'll be fine.

    The description of "clean" above isn't ridiculous. A bit oversimplified (wild caught fish, for example, often is packaged and has an ingredients label), but certainly not ridiculous.

    Just because you choose a different diet, doesn't make the description ridiculous.
