I agree with your view on processed foods. Just because something is “all natural” or “organic” doesn’t mean it is better for your body.
I watched that Jay Leno this morning. I looovve Lady Gaga right now! Even though she might have odd performances, you have to admit she is quite entertaining. As for Adam…hmmm…I don’t know what happened there.

Haha 99% of your readers know you’re not a hypocrite!!! There is such a distinction between lab produced trans fat and even saturated fat. I personally love your eats- they’re so much fun!

(I guess that fits witht he food makes FUN fuel theme… heh)

Evan, I totally totally know what you’re talking about because I’m the same way with eating processed, but not over refined. For some people, it “doesn’t matter” at all. It’s like saying it doesn’t matter if you’re eating HFCS vs. Grade A maple syrup. There are people out there who don’t understand where others are coming from, and they need to read and see more before attacking others. They also probably just should be reading blogs that make them mad anyways. hahaha

Keep doing what you’re doing! I like that you strive for balance and you do what is right for you. Now post that nut butter review! heheheh

Wow Evan, what a great opening paragraph and I totally can appreciate the distinction.

I am often confronted about raw, vegan, cooked, not vegan and my attitude is that I know what my body needs, why it needs that, I dont judge others for what their body’s need or they put into it, provided their choices are well-researched and not just mindless eating.

I hope you have a fabulous T-Day Weekend and I look forward to your nut butter review!

Just because you blog about what you eat doesn’t mean that you are in any way beholden to your readers to have any rhyme or reason about what you eat (even though you clearly do choose what you eat fir specific reasons).

Just because you do X doesn’t mean you have to do Y. I know people who only eat fresh local food but don’t recycle. I know people who insist cars are evil and then always ask for rides. What you decide is important and the decisions you make based on your principles are just that: YOUR decisions. They don’t have to make sense to anyone else, and you don’t have to explain yourself. If you want to eat nothing but carrots and then decide to eat an entire can of Crisco, that’s weird but totally up to you. Your life, your rules. I do appreciate your response to his comment though.

Don’t think I’ve ever left a comment on your blog before but I just wanted to say I love all your meals choices, processed or not, you are still extremely healthy person in college!
I’m in awe of your oatmeal and yogurt combos and your grocery store finds, jealous:)

eh, i get the distinction.
but i think some people can’t stop and look at a label and go “oh, hydrogenated oil. hmm, that’d be trans fat”
there’s a place in our lives for processed food (busy days, quick snacks) but just because we need something fast doesn’t mean we should be lazy on it
and i’m totally fine with ocasional treats taht are some processed shiz. but i gotta be aware that i’m doing it, ,and know not to do it all day…

i totaly agree that this person’s comment is kind of off line..how is he confused with your blog? you just blog about what YOU choose to eat and enjoy so what exactly is confusing him. Most of the processed fake meats you eat (such as tempeh and tofu) are all natural as well. ANyways, eat what you like and keep snapping photo’s for us to drool at

I like how you took his comment to explain yourself…good work evan!
