what does clean mean to you then? Everything we consume has been modified from the original. Apples, wheat, tomatoes, corn - everything we eat has been significantly modified from what it was 10,000 years ago. Early farmers modified potatoes and everything else to grow more calories by genetic manipulation - like planting the ones that grow faster or bigger. Nothing and I mean nothing is like it was before mankind started eating it. We put selective breeding pressure on cows by breeding the ones we grow. I can make up a definition of clean but everyone has a sense of it themselves. Whole foods that are not significantly modified seems reasonable. But modified from what?

I'm not against healthy eating. But "healthy eating" or "clean foods" don't have definitions.

- imwillofficial 5y agoAsking somebody to clarify what they mean who is using a vague phrase is useful. Telling them to stop using a phrase that you personally don’t understand is not useful. Think of it this way, there may not be a nailed down definition of “clean” or healthy” eating. However, it gets you in a “range of uncertainty” Is McDonalds clean? No. Is Pizza clean? Nope. Is brown rice clean? Maybe. I should ask what they mean by their usage of clean. Have I made my point a little bitter? I view usage of vague terms like that not as useless, but as “gets you close to the target without getting lost in the weeds.” Hope this helps.
