which foods are created by mother nature?

[grace111 in reply to rvmasalvad]

most things that have not been modified with like beans they come from mother nature and then they have sauce put into them as in heinz beans so they are not mother nature anymore. potatoes and foods that grow in the ground and nuts and seeds and anything that is in its natural state. hope this helps. love grace xoxoxo

[Hidden in reply to grace111]

Nice explanantion grace111

[rvmasalvad in reply to grace111]

thanks grace 111.

I don't think meat and eggs come under category of foods produced by mother nature.These are derived foods from animals and birds after killing them and are eaten after processing by humans by cooking adding spices etc.,.like what is done in case of biscuits etc.,

you may perhaps know that vegans do not eat anything produced by animal sources including milk

your views are welcome

i did notmention meat or eggs i said this

. potatoes and foods that grow in the ground and nuts and seeds and anything that is in its natural state. hope this helps. someone else must have said that. read my post again,it was Shashikantiyengar Administrator who said meat and eggs so if you want to correct anyone it not me

[rvmasalvad in reply to grace111]

sorry.yes it was other person

[Hidden in reply to rvmasalvad]

Fresh fruits. Vegetables. Meat eggs etc are from mother nature

Man made are those created or messed up like biscuits. GMO products. Sugary soda. Refined wheat. Sugar. White bread . Etc etc

Congratulations Hidden ji

[Hidden in reply to cure]

Thank you cure

[cure in reply to Hidden]

you are very right Hidden but now days even these things are modified...

Fresh fruits are selectively bred for more sweetness.

Vegetables are sprayed with pesticides..

Meat and eggs are also laced with lots of hormones injected to the producing animals.

[Hidden in reply to cure]

True

[Tibblington in reply to cure]

That's a good reason for searching out orgaincally produced food.

Food intake depends on our religion and belief

It's up to us .

What's meant by the above statement is that we should depend on natural foods than man made food / industry made

E.g. margarine is a man made food. It's a manipulated food. Oils are hydrogenated to make it appear like butter (butter is natural)

I would request to see the above statement in a broad sense

Not recommending meat or milk to all vegans or to vegetarians.. but these 're food available to those who can take it

For more e.g.

Nowadays soy foods are made available for pets like cats and dogs whereas their natural food are meat. So the industry is out to make quick bucks at the cost of the health of our pets

Similarly junk food industry is after us to feed junk. We 're better off eating what's cooked in out home as per our beliefs or habits

Hope this clears up things

Thank you. I am still to get into the track into understanding what is healthy diet.Activity 2004 has clarified this forum is for both non diabetics and diabetics and i feel any post here should concentrate on healthy diet for all instead of only for diabetic diet.

[Tibblington in reply to rvmasalvad]

The easiest way to describe that is to say that they are foods nearest to how they came out of the ground, ideally organic and not factory produced.

This is the best quote I have ever read related to eating in a long time!

Hi Hidden ,

I see you are a new Administrator here, so Welcome.

Your post has reminded me I would like to buy some chilli peppers - they are very delicious and spice up my meals - I haven't got any at the moment, and like the way they are presented in the photo - they look appetising!

[Hidden in reply to Zest]

Thank you

Don't eat chilli red or green .you will get into gastric trouble and finally stomach ulcer. Only a small pinch for taste will do although botanists say chilli is concentrated vit C.it is unhealthy basically for many

[Zest in reply to rvmasalvad]

Hi rvmasalvad ,

Thank you for expressing your concern, and I certainly wouldn't 'overdo' my consumption of chillies, but I do use some chopped up in meals occasionally - and I use fresh chillies on those occasions. If I'm using powdered chilli then I will use just a small pinch for taste.

[cure in reply to Zest]

Zest if you really like chilies..then go for kashmiri chillies or mundu chilies.

Both are very mild...
