I didn’t think we ate THAT clean, until we went to a party with all processed foods

Enjoy the cheddar bunnies!

If my body told me it was sick and I needed to throw up because I fed it one donut in a year I would tell it to STFU.

And what hot dog from any source is healthy?

I do not do "jacked baked beans," so I can't speak for those. But I can say making my own potato salad means I'm able to control the sodium. Add more celery than is usually used, and I don't need to use gelatin products as thickeners.

Potato salad is not a health food

OP Being such a judgy snob is what made you sick not the donut or whatever you ate or looked at on the table. You didn’t even eat most of it. Get over yourself.

I am an immigrant and now I really want to try these cheddar bunnies! I never heard of cheddar bunnies before this thread!

Maybe you were at my niece’s house OP. She loves her white carbs and processed foods. She likes to host family parties, which is wonderful, but even I can’t eat much of what she serves (and I just ate pie for breakfast).

So true on both points. For me, it’s pretty dramatic. I get joint pain, foot pain and a heavy feeling in my legs. For me, add too much dairy to the list.

That doesn’t make me a bad guest. I just don’t tend to eat what is served at parties.

Eh? The real age of processed food was the 60s-onward. 40s and 50s was still heavily eating fresh and local because of the logistics of it. Lots of home jarred / home canned for the winter months.

And of course it always varied from family to family. Some people like fresh, others like processed. Always been the case.

Eh. You sound righteous without merit. Humans have been eating wheat for thousands of years. Nothing new there. It's not "horrible" for you, and neither is sugar.

It's all about moderation. I ain't depriving myself of sugar or wheat, but I don't overdo it by stuffing myself with cakes every night, nor do I overdo it by only eating rabbit food either. You can't survive on just lettuce either.

The OP had an infusion of too much sugar/salt/complex carbs too quickly and felt the effect of it as her body wasn't used to it. It happens to me (because I eat fairly "clean" as well although I don't pretend it makes me especially healthier than many people). I had a quiche the other week (from a fancy bakery specializing in high quality ingredients) and had it for three days in a row for lunch and all the cream and cheese plus the crust was just too much by day three that I felt queasy. Tolerance wasn't there.

I suggest you just never speak to the people who threw the party again.

Also how long was this party? Couldn't you just wait and eat later?


Only for an hour or so this AM. I thought it was homemade, until I took a bite and realized it was all highly processed stuff. I didn’t eat more, except the donut, and promptly felt sick. It was my own fault obviously. I haven’t been eating much sugar at all so the sugar made me sick.

Sugar shack donuts are definitely unhealthy and full of sugar, but they don't contain a ton of preservatives etc.

I know. I’m saying I know the sugar made me sick. For the other stuff, I found the processed food to be inedible. I didn’t think we ate THAT well, but I couldn’t even eat the rest of the food. Blah.

But you're not on a high horse. Ok.

And I just scarfed down 1/3 a bag of flavored Tostitos, so I’m not a crazy “clean” eater either.

Ha, thanks, one person out of 5 pages gets me. Hahahaha.

We are mocking OP because she is rude complaining about the food other people serve. If she had posted, "Wow, I just ate some store bought stuff after spending a couple years mostly cooking from fresh ingredients and I really felt a difference in my body" most people would have responded differently. Instead her OP was self congratulatory and rude (and annoying because she was also claiming that she was not judging).

You were a guest OP. I hope you are taking the time to raise your children with better manners.

She’s raising her kids to believe a 200 calorie donut will actually induce illness.

OP here. That’s all I was saying, on an anonymous forum. I had fun at the party. I’m just saying processed food tastes gross and a donut made me feel shaky.
