pat_eat_clean

Hi there, We have been eating clean for the past years without knowing of the label/definition; we were just trying to have a food that would be as nutritious as possible to support our health; for us it is more of a lifestyle than a diet; I'd say that people are becoming more and more consious about what they eat and how their food may be remote from food consummed by our parents or great parents. About processed food: it seems that all fod we eat is subject to some transformation, some necessary (heat) and some not only unecessary but also potentially harmful (for example additives). The issue is, the "harmful" transformations can happen at many stages between the time the food is harvested/bred until we eat it. For example containers may contain chemicals that could leak into teh food, saucepans may use aluminium which could potentially leak into teh food and cause soem health imbalances. I have written a post on the cause/benefits of clean food, and hope you find it useful/informative: http://www.howtoeatclean4life.com/clean-eating/why-should-you-eat-clean-food/ Hope this helps, Patrick
