i see this phrase used on here all of the time. most of the time it's used in the vaguest possible sense and no actual foods are named. however, when the foods are named, the term is invariably used incorrectly with those foods. thus, i figured that maybe it's time to start a list of actual, honest-to-goodness, "unhealthy" foods on here, in order to differentiate them from the ones usually cited solely due to non-scientific food shaming.

i only know of 1 actual "unhealthy" food that's ever been cited on here.

hemlock... hemlock is actually unhealthy for you. do not drink it. ever.

does anyone know of any others?

    Whether or not it's healthy is debatable, but broccoli is evil, and that is a fact.

    Not when it's covered with cheese!

    Liver creates a gag reflex.

    Agreed. The only time I ever ate it, it was totally wrapped in bacon. The aftertaste is terrible.

    c'mon people. this is a serious thread. :angry:

    i'm adding one more to my list.

    black licorice. rumor has it that black licorice can make you hate candy, which is a terribly unhealthy thing.

    my suggestion is to avoid black licorice. it's not worth the risk.

    In my circle of moms, unhealthy foods = highly processed flour/corn with High Fructose Sugar. Usually something that you can eat from the bag, (snack food other than fruit) or things that come from fast food places or are fast food like that you can make at home, like chicken nuggets and tator tots. For some of the mothers this also includes anything that their kid is sensitive or allergic to.

    Licorice (the real kind) can cause toxicity in large quantities (how much exactly depends on the person).

    Of course, I hate licorice so no problem here!

    Any organ.

    Anything that must be "smoothied" to be edible.

    Any food I don't personally like.

    Unhealthy foods are those that don't make me feel well on multiple levels. I avoid them not because they are "bad" foods but because they are just not good for me.
