Serious question: if you think the article was creating a "clean" strawman, then to you, what is the actual definition of "eating clean?"
- joobus 9y agoThere isn't a generally agreed upon definition, and that is the point. Even the author acknowledges this. > At its simplest, clean eating is about ingesting nothing but “whole” or “unprocessed” foods (whatever is meant by these deeply ambiguous terms).
- ktRolster 9y agoIf you aren't clear of the definition of "eating clean," then let's ask, what strawman do you think the author was knocking down?
- joobus 9y agoRead the article. First, it was raw veganism = clean eating. Then, coconut oil = clean eating. Then the alkaline diet = clean eating. Gluten-free = clean eating. Dairy free = clean eating. Serious question: how can "we" agree we "fell" for something if we can't even define what we are talking about?
- angelsl 9y agoThe point is that we fell for all of that.
- khedoros1 9y agoI'd put all of those things under the umbrella of "clean eating". And barring some other condition like celiac disease, a diagnosed gluten intolerance, or lactose intolerance, they all seem like pointless dietary restrictions, but there are a lot of people who will buy something just because it's advertised as "gluten-free".
