    I've got a degree in chemistry and worked in a lab for 23 years. I can pronounce 99% of the stuff in the Sigma- Aldrich Chemical catalogue. Food labels are not a problem for me.

    This is literally the best post I've ever seen on this site. I may be a bit partial though...

    Why are people proud of their inability to sound words out? I will never understand that.

    Dictionary.com has a little speaker next to the word when you look it up that *gasp* sounds the word out for you. It, like, SAYS THE WORD FOR YOU!!!

    It's an internet miracle. :)

    I have been guilty of using that term. For me, it meant eating a balanced diet. Does it mean the same to every individual? No. But, if I have the option of making a homemade meal or buying it frozen, I would prefer the homemade because I know exactly what I'm adding. It's a personal preference. I try to eat a good/recommended portion of protein, carbs and fats at every meal. Hence, why "clean eating" is definitely not the correct terminology for what I have previously used it for. I've since changed my wording. Others are gun-ho about the word clean eating and believe it to be a strict diet based off they believe is true. We could have this argument for daysssss and I don't think anyone would come up with a scientific definition because it is different for everyone.

    Edited for spelling error.

    How about taking a few minutes to learn what those ingredients are, how to pronounce them, and then decide if you need to avoid them or not instead?

    You get to eat all the foods that the rest of us simpletons can't eat.

    Many people use that as a measure by which to decide the "value" of foods. That's the reason it got so much attention.

    And, hopefully, you've learned it's a wrong saying. :)

    And many others use it as a way to feel somehow superior to the unwashed masses who eat "unclean."

    Whatever the heck that means. ;)
