The Misinformation is Thick Around Here.

No, i just googled it, and it said:
"health food
noun
1.
natural food that is thought to have health-giving qualities."
Which is pretty much what i had defined it as.
Can you cite your source please, cause this is Wikipedia:
"Health food is food considered to be beneficial to health in ways that go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition. Because there is no precise, authoritative definition from regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, different dietary practices can be considered healthy depending on context."0 -
Macro nutrients are important to all, regardless of whatever metabolic issues (I use that term lightly). As I stated before, while misguided. I believe I understand where the OP is coming from. I have never in my life ran across a person that had to eliminate a macro nutrient from their diet.I think I understand where the OP is coming from. You have people who will cut fruits, etc because they are bad. HOWEVER, will eat bacon, olive oil, etc, and think those foods are healthy. Since, they believe they are healthy, they will OVER CONSUME in those foods and gain weight.
What matters at the end of the day is macro distribution and most importantly over all caloric intake.
I limit fruits, but eat bacon and olive oil on purpose. I'm not stupid - I don't overeat on calories. To me and my metabolic issues macronutrients are equally important to calorie counts. Over-consuming any food - (even vegan food) will cause weight gain so why are we even *****ing about this? It's one of the few things people here actually agree on for the most part.
Why do we pick on the bacon eaters on this?0 -

As I stated before, the OP was misguided in his approach. Of course, I am not him, so I will not try and explain the "full of irony....". Instead of making snap statements and posting stupid pictures. I do at least try to look at each comment objectively.

Rarely do people ACTUALLY completely eliminate a macronutrient. Diabetics or someone with a similar disorder has to limit intake of certain things, the severity of which is determined by individual needs.
The OP is beating a dead horse (or eggplant, whatever) on overeating healthy foods because they're healthy. The post is pointless.0 -

Elimination and reduction are two completely different things. By the way, we are in agreement.

That's great, champ. But when asked 900 times to please explain WTF he means, OP deflects or throws out whatever without any science backing his thoughts and ideas. That makes him part and parcel to the misinformation problem. And he SHOULD get called on that, since he took it upon himself to call out others.0 -

Cambridge dictionary - 'food that is believed to be good for you because it does not contain artificial chemicals or much sugar or fat'
i believe the only definition of "healthy food" relevant for this thread would be one related to the actual medical and biological effects of the food on overall body health.
i would reject that definition you listed above because it's loaded with a built-in false premise.
sugar and fat are most definitely used by the body in "healthy" ways. also, the notion that an "artificial chemical" is inherently "unhealthy" is also the result of a pre-existing prejudice. plenty of medicines that cure illnesses are largely made from "artificial chemicals". those (although not technically food) are ingested and used by the body to promote body health.0 -

Yes, please do. By the way, I think I am going to cook some steak in olive oil and eat it in a bowl with milk like cereal for breakfast today. Yum.0 -

Science is basically made of EVOO and milk.0 -
Just because you use it, does not make it healthy.uuum Olive oil bad??? Not where I come from .. All I use is olive oil
Do you want to tell that to the entire Mediterranean region? They live longer than anyone else (except maybe the Japanese), and they live on wine and olive oil. And the science backs this, not anecdotes.0 -
