Anything that has ever been in one of those reusable/returnable cloth grocery bags. Proven carrier of e-coli....had a friend almost died last year from e-coli from that source.

Anything ""farm raised"". Tilapia from China is raised below chicken wire....chicken are raised on the wire......

Artificial sweeteners, meats with preservatives, most non-organic fruits and veggies and most non-organic dairy, greasy foods, chips and other snack foods, snails and brains. That's about it.

Mmmmm...steak tartare...beef carpaccio. Good stuff. I'll pretty much try anything once, EXCEPT organ meats.

[wagirl]

Any and all processed foods(?) in boxes or cans or jars or bags, unless the sodium and sugar amounts are within my guidelines. I don't buy stuff that has ingredients I can't pronounce. Mostly I buy fresh/frozen things and make it from scratch. No dairy either. Artificial anything is out as well as high fructose corn syrup. Farm raised fish--yuk!!! Anything from China, a no brainer. No raw seafood. And nothing---ever---ever-- that resembles Sloppy Joes---gag, choke, cough-----makes me cringe!

Cheesecake. I think it's diseased and should be declared illegal in all 50 states and around the world....maybe even the universe.

Ok, I'm kidding. I really don't care for cheesecake though. DH loves the stuff, so I make a ton of different cheesecakes for him to enjoy. I don't know, there's something about the texture of a cheesecake that rather curdles my corpuscles. I can't eat it. Just can't. I'll make it. But I won't eat it.

Figs

I learned for the first time last Christmas that my mom has never eaten a fig in her life. I don't think she goes out of her way to avoid them, they've just never been on her bucket list.

I never order them because they are "gloppy." You are right. Back in the dark ages when I was a kid, I remember them as not being as sweet and sticky as they are today and I liked them.

Harpa, sounds like you've got healthy eating habits. Kudos! I avoid meat. Before my gall bladder surgery, I had trouble digesting meat of any kind. Now I don't even like the taste of it.

Thanks for giving us the healthy tip on the cloth bags. Seriously, I never considered this. Good to know

Someone asked what we eat if we avoid things.. I eat very simple real food. A typical dinner for me...

I had liver & onions and a large helping of fresh asparagus, both cooked in ghee from a local farm.
