Where have all the healthy eaters gone?

The healthy eaters are still here, and most still eat healthy, it's just that the focus has shifted from discussing nutrient-rich foods to discussing the ability to eat some of the less nutrient-rich ones in moderation.
If you take a look at the diaries of some of the people who speak captain crunch and soda, you will see some captain crunch and soda + a variety of meats, vegetables, fruits and nuts.
Edit: Another point to note is that now the dieting calories are generally higher than than they used to be a few years back, so the higher calorie less nutrient rich foods that didn't fit back then now do, alongside with everything a "clean eater" considers "clean".0 -

It shouldn't be done at all. People can disagree. People can refuse bad advice. People can even be dead wrong. That's all okay.blktngldhrt wrote: »

you come into every thread and white knight it about bullying and people not
"behaving" just because you have some impression that you are being "bullied"…when the majority of the time you are being called out for an inaccurate statement and then you perceive that as "bullying" ..
*eye roll*
So many people leave here - or won't even post - because of it.
When people stop with the insults, mocking, name-calling and public announcements of they're all laughing at someone, I will cease to say they are bullying others.
I feel like it's only done (for the most part) to people who, when given sound information about how what they're spouting is ill-informed, react in a defensive manner and completely disregard the advice given.
If that group went one week without mocking or personally attacking anyone, I'd be delighted to say, "I'm wrong. There isn't a group of Internet bullies on the forums." Delighted!
And if you went one week without derailing every clean eating, LCHF, paleo, etc with a divisive warning to the OP that "The bullies are coming! They're going to mock you!" before anyone has said anything even remotely controversial, the rest of the community would be delighted. Probably the mods, too.

Well, yeah. Most people are probably doing exactly the same thing in reality but the focus of the discussion has shifted over time.
The people on the extremes still remain in the minority from what I can gather.
Finally, I want to know who would win in a fight: Capn Crunch or the Honey Monster.0 -
Not to mention but Cap'n Crunch will rip the roof of your mouth to shreds

Yes, but they are the only posts which can boost 100% accurate information.

So Capn Crunch is a short, older man but well he's got a battleship I assume and he's human so hence is capable of killing for no valid reason
and the Honey Monster is a monster but seems to be obsessed with talking to mummies

Oddly enought, I was on a Keto thread last week and nobody showed up saying keto was bad. Imagine that, not every thread gets derailed. 0 -

The problem we see here is that "clean eaters" get very dogmatic about it. You see things like yesterday regarding captain crunch - a clean eater told a very ripped gentleman that if he ate captain crunch he would never be able to win a fitness competition (or something along those lines)
Someone in this thread posted that no processing except cutting, cleaning and cooking equals clean, but I'd bet anything that they don't consider tortilla chips and potato chips to be clean - even though they fit that definition.
I lump clean eating in with zero tolerance policies - they are for people who see the world in black and white, do not recognize grey areas, and prefer not to think.0 -

One of the biggest, most dramatic fights I ever got into in my life was with my BFF when I was 13. I went to take a shower and when I came out, she had poured the whole box of Cap'n Crunch into a big bowl so she could pick out all the crunchberries. She was eating a bowl of every last one of the crunchberries! I lost my *kitten*.
That probably wasn't all that helpful here...
I'm grown up now, and my daughter can have Cap'n Crunch if she likes, as long as she finishes her healthy dinner first. It's a candy cereal and not a bad dessert. Me, I prefer Kellog's Mini Wheats as a sweet snack, because it's crunchy, too. It's perfect!0 -

I don't do it in every thread. Not even most threads. I'd also be delighted to be proved wrong. I will happily announce that there is no bullying going on. I'll be all, "I am the wrongest of wrong people. Nobody is bullying anyone."

Mix parmesan, oregano, parsley, salt, paprika, and pepper together. Melt butter. Dip chicken in butter and then spice mix. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.
Wait..thats not clean is it?0 -

Why aren't they okay?? What's going to happen? If I fit soda & Captain crunch in after I eat my veggies & protein did it contaminate all the good stuff?0 -
