What clean eating is not…
• It’s not a hard science. It is a conceptual framework to help navigate the vast food choices available.
• Exclusive and judgmental. It’s not an all-or-nothing approach, nor a tool by which to measure someone’s value.
• Versus “dirty.” Clean eating can only be contrasted with “messy,” where western diets are complicated and confusing.
• Inflexible. It is an inclusionary approach that you can adapt, whether you are vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, or simply choose not to eat certain foods.
• Only about avoiding processed foods or chemicals. It is about moving toward quality and making the healthiest choice.
