I think it's funny when people say "Stay away from (insert food here)!" For example: "Stay away from refine sugar and processed foods" . While I often agree with what's being advised, I find the "stay away from" part funny. To me it sounds kinda like "Stay away from poison ivy"...... I always imagine the food sitting on a table in one corner of the room, and someone wide eye and freaked out in another corner trying to "stay away" from it.

..... But then again, I'm kind of a dork.

What are some foods we should "STAY AWAY FROM"????

Mine are all those fake, crappy oils. What are yours?

    On a more serious note, I find food elimination to be silly outside of individual intolerances and/or medical conditions.

    I need to stay away from my kryptonite foods...young coconut, rice krispy treats, popcorn, ice cream etc. I just have no control when these foods are around. I just know that these food must be banished from my diet all together. I will miss them like an addict but I just keep telling myself be strong.

    Trans fats are the only really bad one.

    I also really despise carrots, so I say, "STAY AWAY FROM THE CARROTS!"

    stay away from anything flavored with acai berries or acai berries themselves.

    they taste like someone took a week's worth of their sweaty gym socks and strained the liquid out of them.

    or i should say it tastes like what i THINK strained gym socks would taste like.


    oh and kashi go lean crunch cereal unless you are ok with painful gas with a smell that could take the paint off walls

    ____anything on my plate or you'll be pulling back a bloody stump. Oh and the rotting bananas on the right side of your screen. No carbs after 3pm and hot dogs give you cancer when cooked in a microwave made in California on a Sunday.

    I stay away from blocks of chocolate. I am happy to have a small amount of chocolate almost daily, but as soon as I buy a block of it I cannot control myself! Also, pasta, I only cook a tiny bit so there is no leftovers... as they do not remain left overs for lunch the next day! Whoops!

    I have been given the task of removing paint from the dining room wall. Thanks for the tip.

    Stay away from me. I'm baking and I have no qualms about making others fat for the sake of my hobby.
