Hi all :) I am looking for foodie friends with a similar diet-style to mine.

I eat mostly clean, organic and/or free of preservatives, additives, fake anything, etc. Lots of veggies and fruit. Not much meat -- three servings a week or so. I eat chain restaurant food / pizza maybe once a month. I have some major food weaknesses (chocolate, potato chips, ice cream), but I seek out healthier versions of these and eat them in moderation.

I don't believe in things like soda, margarine, artificial colors, skim milk, Lean Cuisines . . . you get the picture :)

I feel myself falling into a rut sometimes and needing ideas for stuff to eat. I would like to add a few friends (without closed diaries) to my list here on MFP for inspiration and mutual support. Send me a message!

p.s. Please don't comment on this post pointing out things about my diet that you don't agree with / approve of. I just want to find some like-minded people.

    Hi there, I'm mostly the same way. Minus margarine - they still don't make a vegan version of "butter" :P. I try to keep it as whole, as real, and as "in-it's-natural-state" as possible.

    Me too -- although I admit I eat fake vegan cheese. :)

    I try to stick to a plant based nutrient dense diet as much as I can. I'm a huge fan of Green Smoothies and getting in as much raw food as I can. I'll send you a friend request.

    Earth Balance makes a good vegan butter -- they carry both soy versions and soy free,whipped for breads and such, and sticks for baking.

    I'm mostly the same as you. We try to eat clean, organic most of the time but like everyone else, I have my weaknesses. I make fresh juice at home everyday, and we eat lots of fruits and veggies! We do try to stay away from preservatives, boxed foods etc. Would love to be friends!
