Recently when trying to classify my eating for someone I joked that I was a gluten free vegan who eats meat once in awhile. I don't think we need to classify how we eat! I like to eat what makes me feel good, and for me that means no gluten, no dairy, no casein, no refined sugar. I do still eat meat once in awhile, but I try to choose naturally raised organic whenever possible (always when I'm cooking at home) So what do I call that? I don't really know and I don't think that matters. On the subject of good movies on the food industry... I saw the movie "Fresh" last night. I really enjoyed it! www.freshthemovie.com I love the premise of clean eating!!

I did veggie for a few years and decided that being an omni works for me. But I eat meat as only a small portion of my diet. So... I like the term flextarian, but really, I like NO term the best. :) I don’t classify my eating lifestyle other than to think of it as a lifestyle choice I guess.

I have crohn's disease, which really limits what I can eat. When I first got diagnosed my doctor said "Well at least you have a disease that means you will never be overweight". I cannot eat fried foods, I cannot eat fatty foods, and dairy and I don't do too well together. Also, I have created my own opinion on this situation, but I personally think that the increase in autoimmune diseases (Crohn's is one) and other things are due to the increase in crap that we are exposing our bodies to. Therefore, I try to limit the chemicals, artificial, fake things I put in my body. Am I perfect, no. Not even close. I just aim to be as healthy and natural as I can be with what I put into my body. <a Href="http://happinessawaits.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Happiness Awaits</a> I do not classify how I eat in any particular term but clean would probably be the closest for me.

I consider myself vegetarian almost vegan. Recently (like in the last 3 months) I've made big changes in a cleaner (as you describe it) way of eating. Oh and yum..... now you've got me craving an apricot. -A My eating style has changed over the years. I consider myself vegetarian almost vegan.

And no--there isn't a processed food in the whole world that could be both as sweet and nutritious as they are! Its funny--last night my neighbor asked me "What in the world do you eat?!", assuming I must not touch sugar and even going as far as asking me if I ate at all. Well, besides that wrong assumption--I said I eat very simply, cleanly, and balanced. I do consider myself vegetarian, and maybe 90% vegan, but I wouldn't want to lodge myself into a category like "raw foodist" or something so strict. I enjoy Fage and could never turn down my favorite belgian waffles, made with eggs! Many of my favorite breads also have dairy. Ah, I love black velvet apricots.

I have tried vegetarianism and it's not for me, so I just stick to lots of veggies and some meats. I don’t classify it beyond ‘healthy’ and ‘balanced’.
