I can't wait until we can look back and realize the silliness that is gluten-free (for non-celiacs) and the obsession with genetically modified/paleo. It takes humility to realize we weren't always right with our food choices in the past because we just didn't know enough. But so many people are CERTAIN that what they are doing today is RIGHT. PP, Marketing, yes![/quote]

Kind of like all the moms on this forum ridiculing their moms and mils for stupid parenting advice.  The absolutes of our generation will be seen as just as idiotic and outdated, and yet, the still ridicule.  [/quote]

I know, and there are PPs on here who are still embracing absolutes.

Here's the thing, if you ate that way for a while and had no negative results, what's the problem?

Humans are omnivores.  Sure, we need certain vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, et cetera, but the body has an amazing way of breaking down and absorbing foods.  Different people have certain issues with certain foods. A lot of people are into raw foods now.  But I don't do well with raw vegetables, except carrots.  i do better with the cooked stuff.

[b]I have a friend who thinks frozen veggies are poison.  But they aren't.  Sure, raw veggies have more nutrients, but that doesn't mean your body absorbs them all. [/b]

I get blood work done regularly, and it has always come out fine.  I eat a variety of stuff, processed food, frozen food, fresh food, sugar, cereal, gasp, bread.  I do tend to go easy on the fats, because in the past, when I've indulged in high fat food, that's when I've gained.  I don't eat red meat or pork for personal reasons, but I don't take issue with people who do.  Some people like different foods than I do, and some people have allergies or tendencies that I don't have.

This whole food nazi thing is ridiculous.  The number one rule should be moderation and observation.  If you notice certain bad reactions (indigestion, constipation, et cetera) after eating certain foods, then avoid them.  If you notice you suddenly gain 10 pounds, then review/consider what you've eaten in the past few months and how much activity you've had and medications.  Otherwise, don't be afraid of food.  Don't even be afraid of processed food.

Frozen veggies can have more nutrients than fresh sometimes. Vegetables are picked when ripe and flash frozen then shipped. Fresh can picked early (before ripe) then shipped from South America. I am stunned at the amount of produce at WF that is shipped from South America and other places outside of the US. People who think frozen vegetables are poison are stupid.[/quote]
