    You can find an article out there saying every single food is bad for you.

    I really hope that ice is filtered, natural, organic spring water made from God's tears. Because normal water will kill you too.

    Well, chemically speaking, water isn't organic because it doesn't contain carbon.

    I guess you're doomed! :wink:

    Here is my current philosophy on all foods, eat what you love, no one is getting out alive. Let's face it, even though we strive to live longer and feel good longer as we age, eventually your time is up. Every day there is a new boogey man, saturated fat, trans fat(I do avoid this one, it adds no joy to my life), currently it is added sugar that will do you in according to the hip new trend. I am just going to try to stay within my calorie goal, eat some veg each day and move as much as possible. No more worrying about what the trending horror is.

    Sure we're all going to die but why speed up the process with diabetes, arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis? I'd rather live life well then live a life plagued with all sorts of preventable diseases.

    You didn't get my point at all! If you listen to every article that tells you something is bad for you, there will be literally no foods left to eat. Love fish? Nope, mercury. How about chicken? Nope, arsenic (same for rice). You can find articles on just about anything if you look hard enough. As I said, eat what you love in moderation, make sure you make veggies a part of everyday life and get about and move. I never said eat as much as you want of anything. If I felt like that, I would hardly be on a site for tracking calories and exercise, would I.

    The point of your post wasn't lost on most of us. You can definitely eat the foods that you enjoy and still lose weight - it's all about balance. Keep up the good work and healthy outlook! :smiley:

    Especially if you live in Flint, Michigan...
