I'm not sure about all of these but I agree with most http://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/50-foods-you-should-never-eat/ss-BBodjvN?li=BBnba9O
Well I'm guilty of eating a few of them...swordfish, and all the non organic veggies it mentioned and chicken wings once in a great while. I was very guilty of eating foie gras in Hungary...the goose liver. It's the best thing ever but I didn't think about the cruelty. All the other things on the list I don't eat or at least very rarely.
Sorry, I think I eat most of them. What could they possibly have against Salmon and strawberries?? I mean those foods are healthy in my book. My personal philosophy is most things are fine in moderation. I don't think you want to eat a steady diet of anything really..I mean food is meant to be enjoyed. As long as you look good and feel good...why worry?
I didn't read the articles under the pics but I think salmon is supposed to be wild...that's all I know. Also forgot to add that I eat my steak rare.
The processed foods are usually bad because in possessing they lose certain minerals and vitamins. Then there is GMO s that is manmade and the long term studies have poor to bad results. Of course pesticides and mineral and radiation to ripen the fruit. Meat can be a problem if cooked incorrectly burnt meat is cancerous. Oils can be oxidized becoming a free radical and if heated become even worse. Even the skin of a baked potato has a cancer causing chemical. Nutrition can be very trick as what you might think is good and what you have been told is bad is really good.
As I'm understanding this, and as usual that may be a limited perception, some "foods" involve "harm" to the organisms providing foodstuffs. If we consume too much caviar, for example, we place the Sturgeon at risk? Since it's all MONEY driven, would one not expect that the purveyors of caviar would anticipate great revenue possibility by encouraging pond raising of sturgeon, thereby alleviating the risk to their ultimate survival on this earth? Therefore, they would be responsible for just the opposite of the great fish's demise, but rather it's proliferation. What happens if humans consume too much liver? Frank
I agree with many on the list. However, in modern society they are hard to avoid. Plus, many of them taste so good. I wish we were more agrarian so we could grow our own food and meat.
@Texas Beth Raising of animals to provide meat, on a small home-scale, is tricky business. First the Zoning Commission won't allow it, so it has to be clandestine, in an unused bedroom, or something. Then, the disagreeable part: butchering. How to dispose of the waste? ALL waste, including bones, are considered delicacy by pigs; they'll eat nearly anything. But keeping a pig likely is not an answer, either. We raised rabbits for food, but we lived on 40 acres in the middle of nowhere, and did it with no electric power, no phone service, and no running water. Despite the difficulties, we kept a milk goat, and 6 or 7 laying hens. We did this for a year, out of necessity, having lost our jobs and house in the city. Produce? I suppose, and truly hope, that non-sterile seed is available, perhaps on-line, to grow corn and the like. If it is no longer available at all, we are forced to grow (ugh) our own GMO veggies; might as well buy them at the store then. Dairy? Goats' milk is good stuff. My wife baked 2 small loaves of delicious bread daily using it, creamed our coffee with it, she also made cheese with it. Rodale was her guide! But keeping a cow, urban dwelling not possible, cows also consume enormous amounts of grass. Goats will eat shrubbery as well as grass. Our goat blissfully ate Firethorn bush and berries: ever see the vicious thorns on that stuff? She somehow worked around them! The correct name is Pyracantha, had to ask my wife, memory is failing me! Frank
It seems like there is something wrong with nearly everything we eat. I would rather just try to eat healthily, eat organic when possible and try not to eat too many of the foods I know I shouldn't. you could really drive yourself crazy trying to adhere too much to "healthy eating" whatever that is. I try to eat a variety of colors every day. I mean my grandparents didn't eat a lot of processed things, but they lived to a ripe old age...eating red meat, sugar, coke, lard or shortening and all the things that you probably shouldn't eat.
@K E Gordon Some say it's "all in the genes". Others dispute that. IMO, it IS (partially) in the genes. (in the genes meant something entirely different to me at 16). Frank
Yes, I agree that is seems like there is something wrong in everything we eat... according to studies. Sometime in the 1980s, there was a hype against eggs that it is a health risk to eat an egg everyday because of the cholesterol. And to think that we were taught to eat eggs every day together with the milk to make children strong. And what about lactose intolerance? Anyway, back to the eggs. The egg producers here held a protest rally to counter that claim of one study. Now we are back to normal where the egg is a complete meal in itself. Our motto when it comes to eating - enjoy your food and do not over indulge. No matter what you eat... you will die.
