    I like clean eating too. I usually wash veggies for 60+ seconds and fruit even longer, depending on whether I'm eating the skin or not. You should always clean your food before you eat it.

    Eat like a caveman! Think about it that way, and you'll make some better decisions....cavemen didn't have twinkies...or pasta, or well...most of everything we all get.

    Cavemen didn't have modern medicine either. They also usually didn't eat much food besides dinner since they had to hunt or gather for it.

    hey if you like eating what equates to roadkill (scavenged bits from other predator's kills) go for it. Also it might be tough to find mammoth meat these days.

    I try to follow the principles of this but couldn't stick to this 100% of the time. I like wine too much to give it up. ;) I would rather just go with moderation on alcohol than give it up completely.

    Check out the book called Nourishing Traditions

    I just started going through my copy I got in Feb. of this year ...LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE it. :) I even recommended in a blog post today because some of my MFP friends were asking me about the books I liked re: nutrition. :)

    One ingredient foods?? you people are nuts. Look if you want to eat clean it is easier then what people think. Look for at least 80% of your food from either a farmers market or the out side walls of your favorite super market, that is usually where the fresh meats, cheeses, veggies, and fruits are. I use a lot of fresh garlic, limes, lemons, and other citrus to flavor my things. when buying anything from a box, can, or bag look for 10 ingredients or less, KNOW what all of the ingredients are! Like for example what preserves the food is a big indicator...if it is preserved with natural things like ascorbic acids, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, castor oil, salt, sugar, alcohol, or vinegar well then chances are higher that it is ok...if it has things like Benzoates (such as sodium benzoate, benzoic acid) Nitrites (such as sodium nitrite) Sulphites (such as sulphur dioxide) Sorbates (such as sodium sorbate, potassium sorbate) well then it is way processed. research labels, brands, ingredients. educate your self on natural ways to make foods. and if there is more then 10 ingredients pass on it. look forward to making the majority of your food from scratch...it sometimes gets tedious but it is very much so worth it. and always remember less is better...although i have to say one ingredient foods...those peeps be robbing themselves of some awesome NATURAL flavors...js

    Agreed!!

    There is also evidence that they practiced cannibalism! Yummo!
