Clean and dirty food?
 

I'm confused because I've seen several definitions. What is consider clean food and what is considered dirty food?

Simple definition?

Clean = natural
Dirty = processed

chicken = clean.
Pizza = dirty.
Steak, broccoli, rice = clean
Cheeseburger and fries = dirty

dirty=yumyum clean=boring

Come on, maybe this is a generational thing but are we that far gone as a society that we really need a definition of what is considered good food?

If it used to be alive it is good :D

If you drop it on the ground, or on the floor, and dont pick it up within 5 seconds (5 second rule) it is dirty !

If it needs more than 1 (aside from warehouse transfer) step from the farm to the table, I'm a little suspicious.

Meat:
Alive -> slaughter/butcher -> me = good
Alive -> slaughter/butcher -> add chemicals -> package -> supermarket not so good

Veggies:
Field -> Washing/Packaging -> me = good
Field -> processing -> additives -? packaging -> me isn't as great. I do still buy some canned stuff, but prefer canning my own so i know whats in it. Preserve with vinegar, not sodium bisulfate.

We had someone quit the forum once because I said cheese was a clean food. So if I say cheese is a clean food, will you still love me?
