Deweese says she hates the term clean eating. “It’s a social status thing. It’s more about ‘I’m better because I eat clean,'” she says. Adds Scott-Dixon, “‘Clean eating’ is a preoccupation of people who, in socioeconomic terms, really don’t have any real, legitimate worries. It’s a first-world problem.”
Indeed, labeling some foods as clean frames the rest as dirty, setting up a binary, us-vs-them, self-righteous world view. “It’s using food as propaganda. There’s a moral component,” says Trevor Kashey, a nutrition consultant for Complete Human Performance, who holds a PhD in biochemistry.
“Clean eating” is just another CAIR terrorist propaganda slogan. All goose-stepping Islamists call pork “dirty” and Sharia law forbids the “filthy” meat. Islamists are just unhygienic, hirsute Nazis.
Quite a phallic picture in that article! Bananas and sausages…very sexy!
“I don’t buy organic, think the anti-GMO movement is basically BS,…”. I agree, but instead of having a bowl of Lucky Charms every night before bed I have a chocolate chip cookie or a slice of toast made from GMO wheat flour.
The student from inner city Detroit had it right. It is a fraud on the scale of the AGW fraud.
Costco has more and more of this rich white people sh*t and we buy less and less there and not because we can’t afford it. I have seen too much on how organic crops are grown. Didn’t eleven people die in the US a few years ago from eating organic lettuce?
I think we should re-invoke the use of the term ‘unclean’ for those who don’t eat ‘clean’ (organic).
We could hang signs around their necks with the moniker: “Unclean – LEPER”.
Then round them all up, herd them off to Hawaii and St Damien of Molokai can look after them!

Remember food propaganda makes you UNCLEAN…!
And now for your moral component…
Mark 7:14-23
14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.”[a] 17 And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?”[b] (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

Just more posturing and virtue Signalling. And as the author said, if you want to Psy far more for your food, that has little if any more nutritional value, feel free to do so. It makes less demand for normal food, keeping it cheaper!
There’s too much of that virtue Signalling here in Victoria, much if it by millenials who constantly kvetch about the price if housing, but don’t bag an eye about their organic foods and chai lattes
That is an appropriate quote. Jesus freed his followers from all the stringent rules relating to food and its preparation found in the old testament.
Today any mention of religion brings an indignant fury from our progressive friends while the Puritan foodies in their midst are given high priest/priestess status as arbiters of what a ‘proper’ diet looks like.
Ken, have more pride in your heritage. My snack before I go to sleep is thoroughly fermented. The drinking water in parts of Europe shouldn’t be trusted for many centuries, so fermentation was used as a means of purification (hic).
Forget the GMO content, if the alcohol content is too low then the snacks should go.
Just don’t drive afterwards (hic).
[b] (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
Ah, even cannibalism? You may say humans weren’t created to be eaten…exactly…
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
all food is organic.
Organic is big business nothing more. The displays in the produce isles of grocery stores look like shit, there’s a reason for that.
Jesus takes the role of sacrificial lamb; like the lamb that appeared for Abraham.
Obviously cannibals eat the actual flesh of their victims.

The young African-American student got it EXACTLY right … https://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/?s=Food

I have been known to partake of the odd barley sandwich.
Bingo!
Exactly! That is why one of my brothers-in-law that farms and markets fruit and grape crops in the Niagara area has some “organic” grapes. He says if some people are dumb enough to pay for this stuff, I am smart enough to take their money.
Gee. I thought that I could break into that elite inner sanctum by assuring them the venison and moose in our freezer was a hundred percent organic – but they shunned me all the same. I mean, what’s a guy gotta to do….buy a Volvo or an Audi?
As has been already been said, it’s about the money.
It’s almost ALWAYS about the money, like global warming / climate change / or whatever it’s called these days.
So, when I go food shopping and I read something labelled “organic,” I translate the word “organic” into “expensive”.
For example, “organic juice” becomes “expensive juice”. It’s still juice, but now it’s expensive juice.
So, in virtually all cases, I simply walk away from “organic” products.
AH the piety of diet, to ve found in many of the world’s cults and religions. This is the Western world’s green religionists’ version.
I have never knowingly bought an “organic” product in my life and I watch all the old farts around me dropping dead. I haven’t had cancer – yet – because I am not genetically predisposed. I spent much of my early years as a loyal supporter of Imperial Tobacco and Labatts. Mind you, I stayed away from weed – that stuff will kill you – or turn you into a drone.
Generally, “Organic” is a tax on gullible people with more money than interest in reality. I do confess, however to preferring a certain organic cereal cream over the readily available competition. I wouldn’t pass up clotted or whipping cream from any source. I know, I’m flawed!
Yup, it’s all working real well…
Comparison to other countries, the USA is 60th in life expectancy, 1st in cancer, 41st in infant mortality, 1st in obesity, 33% are diabetic, and autism is up from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 68…Canada not far behind.
All because of organic growers…or 3D chess, or something…
Regularly eating fewer calories than you burn each day—called a calorie deficit—is the only thing that’s been consistently proven to help people lose weight. “At the end of the day, weight loss, gain, or maintenance is calories in, calories out,” Lowe says. Years of scientific research agrees.
Every one of the Biggest Loser contestants regained all the weight they had lost…I guess you could call that consistency.
All calories are not equal since the body treats some different than others.

Why The First Law of Thermodynamics is Utterly Irrelevant
Consider two foods that are equal caloric values – a plate of cookies versus a salad with olive oil with salmon. As soon as you eat, the body’s metabolic response is completely different and easily measured. One will raise insulin a lot, and the other won’t. So why do we pretend like the body cares about calories. That’s like saying that foods that are blue are the same – whether they are blueberries or blue raspberry Gatorade. The body doesn’t care about color, so why would I? In the same way, the body doesn’t give two sh**s about calories, so why should we? However, the body DOES care a lot about the hormonal response to the foods we just ate.
Yes, Stradivarius, I also laughed when I read that. It’s a good touchstone for the quality of the journalist. As Harvard’s Dr. David Ludwig observed, you’re not getting fat because you’re eating more and exercising less, you’re eating more and exercising less because you’re getting fat. A person for whom that does not make sense is just not cut out to be a scientist and should become a dietitian.
The scariest food fad is avoiding meat in favour of vegetable dishes that have to have a sweet or fatty sauce to be palatable. People who do this replace really tasty meat with carbos and fat.
lol !!! how are things in the st kitts area? I lived there in the 70s and 80s long enough to know just by the weather what the fruit crop would be like. migod, those rich juicy sinfully sweet peaches *right off the tree* into my ravenous mouth. doesn’t get more ‘organic’ than THAT.
