Silly food beliefs [15]Comments on: http://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/2009/10/26/silly-food-beliefs/ Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Food shouldn't be stressful, it should be nourishing and delicious and good for us (most of the time hehe). I definitely stress way too much about food at times, and it's good to sit down and reverse my thinking to be healthier. I grew up thinking that everything should be low-fat or fat-free in order to be healthy. Fat-free butter, brownies, salad dressing, mayonaise, cheese, etc. I'm glad I realize now that often times I am better off eating the "real" version of foods rather than the fat free or low fat versions because they contain so much crap and fake stuff! .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://joggingmymemory.com/blog/julia/2009/10/did-you-miss-me/" rel="nofollow">Did You Miss Me?</a> =-.

But I do know my grandma told me if I cried I'd grow a mustache ... and I believed her for many years. As for adults that dont seem to understand what is good for them, my hubby thinks all salads are healthy ... even with Caesar dressing. And his dad (my FIL) went through a "healthy eating" period where he and MIL would eat spinach sauteed in TONS of butter. They were eating healthy because there was spinach on the plate. (Sighs) I eat a lot of bad stuff, but I'm not an idiot. I know its bad, I just eat it anyway :) .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/marathonleap/~3/CVU040x3MbE/what-is-winter-warrior.html" rel="nofollow">What IS A Winter Warrior?</a> =-.

It makes me sad too when my friends say they avoid pasta because it has carbs :\ i hate when people fear food because it should be embraced and bring us all together at the dinner table! ahah my grandma is the same way!! she always just wants just to be happy.

That's funny that you thought it was a health food. I think we all get too caught up in the latest hype instead of just focusing on basic, unprocessed food. I eat a lot of junk but a lot of great, healthy food too. It's all about the balance in my opinion! .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://adventuresinourfunnyfarm.blogspot.com/2009/10/vita-coco-coconut-water-review.html" rel="nofollow">Vita Coco coconut water review</a> =-.

They had no idea what was and wasn't good for people. My mom would let us eat ice cream for dinner because it had calcium in it, cookies for breakfast if it had oats in it (because then it is healthy) etc. I didn't even ever taste broccoli (which I love) until I met my husband in college. I can't remember ever having vegetables offered to me as a kid, and we rarely had any fruit around. I remember going to my friends houses and going crazy eating all the fruit, which is funny because when my friends came over they all said I had the coolest parents ever when we ate cookies and ice cream for dinner. I am fine with my kids having ice cream for dinner every once in a great while as long as the rest of their days eating has been healthy...but not EVERY day or even very many days a year of ice cream for dinner! .-= Author's last blog post... <a href="http://radioactive-girl.blogspot.com/2009/10/punkmins.html" rel="nofollow">Punkmins</a> =-.

Her mom told her that eating the crust would make you pretty. (Least my mom was a bit more progressive.) And my mom's parents... we'd have dinner and immediately after they'd push dessert on us. That was just another part of the meal to them really. Eat dinner, have an ice cream cone or a slice of cake. It was a struggle convincing them that I'd like some, but LATER. And who does know really? My butter, dessert, & fried food-loving grandparents all lived into their 80s and 1 early 90s. Course food was less processed for most of their lives... Also, last I read, butter's better than margarine or fake-processed oils for you.
