[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with you people?  Avoiding giving her child processed foods like puffs doesn't mean she's obsessed or that her eating is disordered.  There is so much misinformation out there about diet and nutrition.  OP admitted that had bought into some of that misinformation like believing that fruits that are higher in sugar aren't healthy.  She has now changed her thinking after following the advice of her doctor.  Jeez, give her a break.  Good job OP.  It's not easy to change habits and beliefs around diet and it sounds like you've made a lot of progress with your daughter.[/quote]

Most foods are processed.

Yogurt is processed. Bread is processed. Cheese is processed. Granola is processed. Pasta is processed. Nearly everything we eat is produced using a process.[/quote]

Depends on who you are.  I do a large salad everyday.  Romaine and/or spinach, peppers, celery, tomatoes, cucumber, any other veggies that appeal (raw), beans (just soaked and cooked), nuts/seeds (raw, unsalted), fresh fruit (normally berry or citrus).  The only “processed” things on my salad are shredded poached chicken or turkey (bought raw), eggs that I boil and peel, and cottage cheese.  Breakfast is usually veggies sautéed in oil and egg.  Snack is typically plain Greek yogurt with fruit and/or nuts.  So, the only processed items I eat on a regular basis are cottage cheese and yogurt.  I add salt to many thing I eat, since my diet doesn’t contain enough in the food (per my doctor).

When I cook for others, I cook from scratch.  I don’t use anything that contains ingredients I don’t recognize, and I prefer cooking from whole, raw foods.[/quote]
