The Clean Eating Delusion...

To bash other people's line of thinking? To prove that you are somehow fitness intelligent superior to those ignorant peons that choose to eat organic or gluten free? No you're weak minded and weak willed. Only willing to accept that eating whatever you think is healthy is the only way to "be healthy".After 20 years of research there is no evidence of any health risk to any currently available GMO foods.
Regardless, if I decide to eat organic or not, *kitten* off why do you care? If the "healthiness" of organics is completely placebo, why does it affect you? More importantly, the vast majority of Americans are not unhealthy because of their internal debate over organic or GMO, it's cause they eat *kitten*.In order to avoid “Food Babe” level ignorance on this issue (“if you can’t pronounce it, you shouldn’t eat it”), some have made the distinction between natural and synthetic chemicals. This is a false dichotomy, however.
And you're argument? Some chemicals are good in certain portions, which I decide upon. Great, tell that to the fat woman who's shoving twinkies down her pie whole that some of the chemicals in that twinkie are only harmful if consumed in large quantities.
There is this constant struggle to dictate what is healthy: eat GMOs they're good for you, eat organic GMOs kill you, eat raw vegetables because it's alive, eat steamed veggies cause it's easily digestible.
How about minding your own business, learning about the benefits and negatives of an eating style that you can accept to improve your own life?
....Well that wouldn't be as much fun as arguing on a forum: Carbs make you fat, eat Ketogenics.
How DARE he try educating people about the scientific realities of what we're eating instead of feelings. How DARE he tell me my diet isn't sent by the gods of nutrition to make me better than those dirty **** eaters.0 -

That's exactly my point.the scientific realities of what we're eating
Only in MFP forums could you say scientific realities without providing any scientific evidence. #fatlogicFTW0 -

God didn't create the clothes you wear or the transport you drive or ride around in either so I fail to see your point there.
On the Organic side, Organic farmers use chemicals strong enough to kill pests also, so again I don't see the point you are trying to make.
On the carbs make you fat point, they don't. I ate more carbs then I ever have when I had a BMI of just 14.60 -
A lot of things on here I can't pronounce.

I disagree. Microwaves are only good for reheating food previously cooked using a better cooking method. And ramen.0

I'm always shocked at the ignorance towards GMO, the people who are against it have no idea what they are talking about and the ones for or no opinion are informed, coincidence?0

This is priceless. One cannot argue science or logic with those who deny the basic rules of either.0

My favorite is the zombie kids munching on corn.0 -
I know how to pronounce Worcestershire, but I still accidentally mispronounce it about half of the time when I say it out loud. I am leaving it in the unclean pile.0

Truth? Um, no.0 -

I disagree people who don't eat clean have been found to have massive amounts of dihydrogen monoxide in their bodies.0

oh shame, shame, shame...
I see bars on a user that did not have them after their first post. I think this means we can just dismiss anything they're saying as they are obviously a troublemaker.0
