Is it normal to only eat healthful food?

I wouldn't call a vegeburger a healthful food but let's face it: hamburgers contain healthy ingredients and they were healthful before but later on became junk food. But I don't want a vegeburger, I choose to eat fruits and vegetables and foods made of fruits and veg & fish without cream, coconut, dairy, eggs, etc, no rice crackers, potato chips and no chocolate, cakes or biscuits. I'm a pesco-vegan struggling to only eat pesco-vegan and I like caviar and champagne (which I eat occasionally). I cook healthy gourmet mostly vegan foods, and the people there eat all but the mushrooms in the dish. Well for your information mushrooms are good for you and contain vitamin B12. This diet I'm on is my choice, I wanted to be a vegan but I love my fish so I'm pesco-vegan. It's a fluke invention derived from pescatarian. Yes I'm aware the irony is I eat fish eggs. My idea of a birthday cake is a vegan zucchini cake (sugar-free) to celebrate my good health. I didn't know it until now but my New Year resolution from 1 January 2018 was and is to eat healthy foods all the time and keep junk food to the very smallest minimum. And I love it! Healthful food tastes great. No more burgers, hotdogs, lollies, chocolates, pizza, cakes and biscuits unless they're special diet cakes and biscuits. I can help myself, the idea is to make healthful dhals without the oily curry pastes, with fresh tomato and using curry powder and ground coriander, which, in Indian tradition, the spices cleanse the system. No sweet biscuits unless they're sugar-free, and the sucking of sugar-free lollies. I think I'll have freshly brewed coffee and not that high-sugar iced coffee with full-fat milk. The truth of the matter is many of these so-called health food companies overdo the margarine, sugar, fat, cream and salt, all of which will make you fat, I choose healthy options for the very reason I'm fat: I'm worried about obesity and cholesterol, is this normal?

    Yes, it's all fins and good as long as you don't shove your tastes down the throats of others. I used have a vegetarian/pescatarian friend who was a nightmare to go to restaurants with. We eventually had a falling out, and I don't miss her one bit! I have a cousin who is a vegan and she's so easy to be around. How another person behaves around me when I order a delicious rare steak tells me a lot about whether I can be friends with the person.

      I never shove my tastes down other people's throats, there's one client who avoids eating everything I cook, that's bitter because I'm fat and fat cooks are trustworthy: never trust a skinny cook.

        I don't really understand the fat and skinny cook references.

          Skinny cooks don't have the culinary experience a fat cook does, therefore I'm a master chef.

            No, I find that to be way too presumptuous, and besides if you cook for other people the way you eat then maybe they won't find it to their taste. My cousin is very vegan, but she doesn't cook that way for her family, because they aren't vegan. I really respect her, because she respects other people!

    I prefer it, but the more I read about GM food the more I worry. Even using the microwave oven gets risky.

    Yes. Healthy eating is obviously a good thing and should be encouraged. That way less people end up looking like beached whale carcasses like so much of our society appears right now.

    Next time you buy chicken (for example) - look at the ingredients. There's a good chance you'll see they added WATER or boast there's no water in it! Although water is good, they use it to fluff up the chicken so it looks massive. Then when you get done cooking it the thing looks like chicken little.
    So if it isn't chemicals they screw you with they do it in other forms!!!

    The only way to truly eat healthy is to grow your own veggies and/or raise your own livestock to eat.

    There's so much chemicals and crap in the food we eat today. Chicken from a farm tastes 100% different than from a supermarket. The same with meats.

    From what I gather, most people become vegan because they love animals and couldn't stand the thought of eating peter rabbit.
    The other % is those trying to lose weight and end up failing because of all the addictive crap they stuff in our meats.

    I eat meat at least 4 times a week. Fish maybe once a week.
    Lots of pasta to make up for the days I don't eat meats or food with substance!

    You could live to be 100 if you got rid of all the things that'd make you want to live to be 100.

    Still, if it makes you happy then it's completely normal. Enjoy your healthy food!

    I limit dairy, eggs are actually okay though as well as cheese as long as it’s not too much, cheese provides calcium, equilberium is the key.

    Yes completely normal, I like to lead a healthy and active lifestyle too, I eat fish, skinless chicken, baked or steamed vegetables etc etc, absolutely limit junk food, When I do have that stuff it’s in very small portions, like 15g chocolate or a soy milk hot chocolate, I don’t smoke, barely drink and exercise regularly. Happy to discuss health with you anytime, keep up the good work and I hope you reach your weight loss goals.

      I see what you're doing: you eat meat and potatoes and are forcefully not vegan, but for your health try pesco-vegan and avoid any treats. Besides it makes perfect sense: it would be more fun to have a mushroom Wellington than it would be to eat a good ol' American hotdog!

        Nope you don't have to force me to be non vegan. I do it quite naturally since I am a human and not a rabbit.

    Just cut out anything fun in life, then you'll live to a ripe old boring age, and die.

    We'll all have fun eating pizza, steaks, and talking about the Russians :)

      I see nothing boring in being a health freak, there's all those fresh healthy vegetables and the finest fish, I eat to live but to be honest, in order to save my money for a kilt, 1. it has to be before I rent a flat, otherwise I can't afford it, and 2. I'll have to be a liquitarian to save more money and starve!

        I can see that, meat is not cheap where I live either. In fact some of the better cuts are becoming harder to find, and that's with prices going up. I eat more chicken than beef, which doesn't break the bank like beef can.

      There is some merit to this. Time seems to slow down when bored, so if you make your life boring and miserable, it will seem like you are living forever.

        The merit is all due to my certificates, which I got in high school. If I go to vegan cafes it should be no problem.

      What's all this got to do with whether it's normal? It's a simple and lengthy question!
