Is this clean? I'm thinking no.

If it comes in a can it is not clean eating. I have never seen a can of sauce and a can of biscuits growing on a tree. I also bet on the lable of both those cans there's at least a few ingredients that also don't come from nature. But I do love me some manwhich!

Does cooking or cutting food or mixing foods together cause them to stop being clean? For example if you take a bunch of beans and chunks of meat and throw them all in a pot with some spices to make chili, is that "clean" or not? What if you were to eat all of the ingredients separately?

(I do think the term "clean" is rather presumptuous and implies a value judgment, as if all other foods are 'dirty.' It would make more sense to call it "whole" or something, but that's another matter. )

I've seen beans and cows (or pigs or whatever your meat is from) in nature. Just processing them for cooking them doesn't make them unclean.

Now if you take those beans and meat and put them in a box with a bunch of chemicals, preservatives, etc. then I'd say not clean.

Personally I like the idea of clean eating but I don't follow it, so I'm making no judgement on those who eat clean vs those who don't. Eat all the chemicals, processed food, fast food or whatever you want - I'm currently drinking a whole bottle of chemicals (aka diet dr pepper - very not clean) and loving every little bit of it.

Ok, yeah it sounds like it's taking the logical fallacy of "natural = good, unnatural = bad" and applying it to food.
