“Fast food”, then later, “fast food french fries”? OK, got it in one, thanks. 😉 ---

1. Too many calories. 2. Too much fat. 3. Too many calories. 4. Too much fat. I see a pattern… 5. Back to sugar… 6. Psych! Still too much sugar. Looks like organic people aren’t supposed to eat this much fat or sugar, which is kind of weird, because they’re both organic. ---

I make fresh orange juice every morning. I drink the pulp too. How is that a bit different than eating the orange? Pure juice is good for you. Everybody should have a juicer at home. They’ll never take away my grilled steaks or my fries. ---

I like how #46 suggests topping celery with peanut butter and some crumbled bacon, then #50 warns you not to eat bacon. :dubious: ---

It’s woo-woo bullshit like this which makes the whole concept of organic utter shit, the naturalistic fallacy writ large. **nightshadea** : Assume it’s all bullshit until you hear it from a better source.

Didn’t even need to read the list. I’m sure the top 25 are staples of my diet. I just don’t care. I’m gonna eat (and drink) what I want and die when it’s time. Its _quality_ of life, not quantity. Who the fuck wants to be 80, anyway? Staggerin’ around, wetting yourself… ---

Everybody should have a juicer at home. Juicing ONE orange and drinking the pulp is arguably healthy. Drinking juice by the _quart_ every day is not - too much sugar even with the pulp, and too much of the same thing. ---

Manufacturers strip it of all its minerals and heat it to around 1,200 degrees, completely changing its chemical structure. This is total BS. If you remove all the minerals from raw salt you will have nothing left, because salt itself as a mineral. Also, does this person consider something like Himalayan pink salt “sea salt” or something else? Does the “healthy” include traces of uranium and arsenic and other things generally not considered healthy? Reminds of a customer at my store who wanted “fresh” salt, and wanted to know the “use by” date because she didn’t want “spoiled” salt. Bwuh? 😕 ---

Manufacturers strip it of all its minerals and heat it to around 1,200 degrees, completely changing its chemical structure. Because salt is composed of sodium and chlorine, two _deadly poisons_.
