Re: What are you a snob about?

I have no problem with healthy food. Fresh veggies, lean meat, whole grains... But then I remember this one time when someone on FS was saying their favorite low-fat yogurt was so much healthier than regular yogurt, it had fewer calories than regular nonfat yogurt, etc... the first ingredient was water, then milk, then stabilizers and sugar.

And then there's the time my mom dragged me into the bottled water aisle to point and laugh and wtf at all the Gluten Free!!! bottled water...

And the time a lady came into my work looking for the book The Coconut Oil Miracle and I put the author's name in our database and went "oh, the one by the clown?" and she got really pissed and said "no, the Doctor." Except that he wasn't actually a doctor with a degree, and all his other books were about how to make money at clowning...

And whenever I flip through Paleo diet cookbooks, I always wonder why they're missing the bug section.

The thing about 'healthy food' is it's very specific to the person eating it and requires intimate knowledge of their body and how it processes various foods. Someone with diverticulitis, for example, would want to avoid the whole grains and seeds.

There are veggies my body loves, and veggies that upset my whole system, and someone else may have the opposite. So that's why I get annoyed at the woo-woo one size fits all approach. I feel like there should be a bigger push towards learning your own body and moving away from trying to measure how many Good Points and Evil Points each food item contains.

Also paleo is just atkins repackaged. Don't tell me you're avoiding grains and carbs because ancient humans in Africa wouldn't have had modern wheat, and then tell people to eat ridiculously modern nightshades.
