    I'm torn and don't know what to think, I read that pizza is bad because it has flour, cheese and meat on it but then I see that the US congress deems it a vegetable source for children in schools!?

    Haha very good!

    pasturized milk, all fat %'s

    legumes

    whole grains

    all animal proteins particularly casein

    grain fed beef

    potatoes

    corn

    bananas and other fruits (fat loss inhibitors)

    Vegetable oil

    That was about it for me. Really was an eye opener when i started posted on message boards with a particular interest in health and fitness about 12 years ago.
    They're bad for people who believe they are. Good thing I'm not one of them.

    The wheat thing is crazy. Makes me think. I don't really eat a ton, so I'm not going to worry about it. But it gives one pause to think we've somehow messed up all the wheat.

    Not "bad" I guess, but I didn't realize how many carbs I ate and how many calories it consumed. Whole wheat pasta used to be "health food" for me. And I love rice. But can't have much of either if I'm going to stay in my calorie goals.

    I only eat cheese processed by virgins during a new moon.

    You couldn't be more wrong. Virgin cheese is the worst. It just lays there on the plate expecting you to do all the work.

    Seriously. The. Worst.

    LOL

    Bad is subjective IMO. Just like "better". We're all different!

    Ok, bananas are not "bad" for you people. Sure, they have some sugar and carbs. If you're low carb, then you can limit your intake of these, but they are in no way "bad." If you limit your intake to no more than one a day than you'll be fine. For non-diabetic healthy people, eating bananas is a healthy thing if added to a balanced diet. They provide great potassium and magnesium. One could find an overly processed packaged food that is less calories, less carbs, and less sugar than a banana, but that doesn't mean it's better for you than a banana. I'd take the whole food over the processed food that contains high fructose corn syrup in place of real sugar. Plus, bananas have complex carbs and good sugars. Just don't overdo it, and you'll be fine. They are also great to add to a green smoothie.

    I came in thinking this was a joke/satire thread. But I'm afraid it's meant to be serious. Oh boy...

    ditto... :laugh:

    the worldwidewebs have convinced me that all food is "bad" but that i can still eat some "healthy" things like cauliflower, lettuce, water, and celery. i dont bother with anything else at this point.

    Ya, I'm starting to not want to eat because we know so little about how food effects our bodies!

    Yes, Ho Hos are bad to eat. Or, I'd imagine they are - no matter how many times they've been tested.

    Twinkies and Ding Dongs? Not for me.

    But the taste is untainted, and I will never have to worry if it's comparing me to past experiences.

    Everything except water harvested from the most remote glaciers of Norway. :indifferent:

    Nope, contaminated by Chernobyl radiation. You need to get it from the most remote glaciers of Iceland. :bigsmile:

    Banana's are bad according to my Scandanavian Neanderthal diet... it isn't what my ancestors ate, therefore I cannot eat it and it's bad for me.

    The internet has yet to convince me that any food is bad. The only things qualified to make that determination are my taste buds!
