I always consider myself as an example of what NOT to do.
I don’t know why they call them the 7 Deadly sins. A few of them are actually fun!

All of them are. 
I think most of us can distinguish between a fitness commitment and a mental disorder. Careful nutrition makes your life better if you do it as a deliberate, free choice. (That’s what I aim for, and what you do, Varqanir.) A compulsive fear of food that damages your health and other aspects of your life – that’s an illness, and it’s nothing to encourage. It’s possible to confuse the two, sure, but it’s less likely if you also have goals that require you to eat enough (like improving performance). Nice, clean meat and veggies? That’s a choice, and a good one, not a sickness.
I don’t like self-righteousness, but I’d distinguish that from accurate information. “This is the way you should eat if you want to achieve x” is always useful to hear if you actually have goal x. If you don’t, fine, live and let live.

Two chicken breasts, sauteed in olive oil with garlic, mushrooms, spinach and herbs, on a bed of organic baby spinach leaves, organic strawberries, green and red pepper, and avocado.
Somebody save me from myself. I clearly have a serious problem.

Bro that’s some good food! I sure hope this disorder is contagious, I wish my diet was that rigid.

While self-righteousness might not necessarily be a sign you are crazy it might be a good indicator that you’re an asshole. 
I am guilty of this at times, but I do not see my self-righteousness as a virtue nor is it a quality I enjoy in myself. I tend to view my understanding of nutrition and health and the affluence to practice it as a privilege.[/quote]

The idea of taste is probably more of an emotionally elicited response, therefore, if you like the taste of a “healthy”, locally grown food as I and many others do then go for it. This is a redundant argument against someone who has a different context on what defines what he puts in his body. People who enjoy eating real foods have nothing to argue about because along with satisfying our emotions, we are getting a healthy return. I know it’s hard to believe that some people don’t have a significant taste for processed and fast foods but it actually exists. I love fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat more than I love McDonald’s and the likes. [/quote]

It isn’t bullshit. The bodybuilding community is FULL of people with personality disorders, including eating disorders. Calling the problem “bullshit” only displays how out-of-touch with reality you really are.
By the way, 2.5 hours have elapsed since your last meal. Shouldn’t you be heating up another boiled chicken breast and 3 oz plain sweetpotato?[/quote]

Thanks. The berries are on a bed of baby herbs and greens, and the other item is sauteed zucchini, baby portobello mushrooms, and baby spinach.
