If it turned out that vegetables were unhealthy would you stop eating them?

@reflectingmonkey is none of the foods you eat are unhealthy at all? You live on a diet of water and salad leaves?

@AndrewtheAlu no, I am an excellent chef, anything I make is 100x better than any crappy, industrial fast food. I also used to own a restaurant. I don't deprive myself of anything, I LIKE REAL FOOD. I am sad for anyone who thinks that I must be suffering because I don't eat big macs and hot dogs and oreo cookies. I seriously don't crave that crap.

@reflectingmonkey nah, I don’t think you’re suffering, I wish I could be like that. Just think you could do with toning down the snobbishness

@reflectingmonkey I don't eat fast food if I can help it either. I grew up on a farm and grow most of my own food now. I don't like the chemical taste of packaged food either. I eat very well without all the store bought things. One thing I do enjoy however is potato chips. I am trying to get away from them in favor of making my own sweet potato fries or dehydrated beans etc.

@Fungirlmmm wow, I would sooo love to be able to grow my own food, I used to grow my own lettuce and tomatoes on my balcony, in the city, but the squirrels kept going at it. in moderation its ok to eat an occasional bag of chips, I also like the taste of chips but I just never buy them, my parents have some at their home so I raid theirs when I go visit. I find that the problem with fat and sweet foods is that they are addictive and as with anything addictive , they rob us of the natural sense of enjoying healthy habits so they must be used with caution. like if you eat sweets and fat all the time then suddenly vegetables seem less appealing, its the exact same effect that abusing of drugs does, suddenly healthy things like exercise, relationships and pursuing your dreams seem less interesting.
