Each time I heard about a safe food it was an ultra processed one. So I want to verify

      This right here is the right answer.

      And honestly, the question itself is ableist bullshit (op doesn’t have to mean it to be for that to be the case) - you can’t recognise the existence of safe foods only to then pass judgment of people’s literal survival mechanisms (something we all, I’m sure, already get enough of anyway. And the comments here demonstrate that we’re all aware that our diet isn’t balanced, but all have our own valid reasons for that). “Healthy” vs “unhealthy” is already used so much to oppress disabled folks, it’s not a metric people should even be judging others by.

        This comment seems so angry and impractical. People should definitely be evaluating others and themselves based on healthy vs unhealthy behaviors.

        A thrill-seeking bus driver doesn’t get a no judgment pass to speed recklessly through traffic lights because their brain is happiest when doing so.

        A friend group isn’t supporting their alcoholic friend with a judgment free zone when they see them drinking every day but don’t say anything or help since their friend’s brain has literally become dependent on a certain level of alcohol intake to function.

        An individual with depression isn’t being a champion of judgment-free self care when they uncritically act on self-harm impulses.

        Health is based on a continuum, and it will not look the same for everyone. Some people will be able to perform more and different healthy behaviors than others.

        Everyone should be encouraged and assisted to be the healthiest person that they are capable of being. But, it is difficult to know true potential and boundaries of you aren’t willing to look at things critically and re-examine patterns and coping mechanisms to determine if they still serve you the best that they could.

        Also, labeling the question “ableist bullshit” seems pretty rude. Maybe there is something in the original post that I don’t see, but I don’t think there is enough info there to make that assumption.

        I’m not sure if they were asking out of idle curiosity, a personal health concern, a potential research topic, etc. Maybe there is is more to the post when viewing on Lemmy and that’s helping you deem the topic ableist bullshit vs valid?

    Nutrition as a scientific field lacks the basic research we need to draw solid conclusions of what is healthy and unhealthy is. Right now all we can say is: are you getting the results you want? If not, then it’s unhealthy.

    For me doing keto carnivore as my healthy diet of choice, all of the options in the poll don’t fit my food choices and I would consider each of the option as “unhealthy” for me.

    • Bad - sweets - carbs
    • Neutral - pasta - carbs
    • Healthy - fibre - plant based lectins
