Lots of toxins too. I need a salt water cleanse just thinking about eating this.

Sounds good, but I for sure wouldn't call this "clean" eating.

patentguru

Not sure why you are getting attacked. I like the ingredients and would eat it.

I happen to like raw veggies, minimal processing of meats, etc. i.e. "clean eating." Although I must admit I don't always eat clean.

At 52 I have tried to eat fried food, fast food, pop tarts, donuts, etc., I just do not feel good after eating them. From the posts, it appears there are a lot of people that can eat these foods and feel fine, I wish I could.

Don't see any "attacks," only comments re: that it isn't all that "clean" due to processing & chemicals.

What processing and chemicals? Am I missing something?

Oh idk, soy sauce, wasabi paste, nori sheets, rice wine vinegar... I'm not a clean eater though so idgaf.

Word life. Me either, I just prefer minimally processed stuff.

If you are not a clean eater then why post here?

CrazyVulcanLover

I have no clue why you are getting attacked and this sounds fantastic and is super clean. I think I would prefer it with raw tuna and salmon--but I like crab also.

Wasabi is made of cabbages, horseradish and mustard. It's dried and then made a paste by adding water. Nori is seaweed and algae for goodness sake. It's dried in thin layers.

Yep...I am going to make this:)

faithsimmons526

I'm going to make it too. Maybe it's not 'perfect', but it's a heck of a lot cleaner than some of the other stuff I eat.

But then, I'm just doing my best to be healthy without going to extremes of any sort.

After all ... extreme behavior is what got me overweight. :laugh:

sknapstein

I'll put my two cents in.... I don't see much "processed" food here compared to some of the other recipes listed on this "recipe board". We are on a recipe board aren't we? Or is it a "clean eating" board. I'm not even sure what "clean" means as I've never heard of it before now. I'm not a food activist but do believe the best foods are "whole foods" and not processed. My definition of processed is "pre-packaged". I try to make my stuff from scratch. If using soy sauce in my recipe negates that, then oh well. I thinks it's a a great recipe to share on this recipe board. Thanks for posting.

^^ This ^^

There perhaps ARE more natural/healthy/'clean' alternatives to soy sauce etc ... so why not help us, clean eaters ... if you know a way to make this better, please share.

Maria_Cutie

The clean title mainly came from the website given. As far as ingrediants go, you can findthe items that arent as processed.i personally didnt use wasabi paste and immitation crab can be replaced. Nori is just toasted seaweed? Either way, its a good deconstructed sushi dish:)
And i didnt feel attacked by anyone, i just was confused.
