So, when you say "frankenfoods"...
...what do you mean, exactly? When I got here, I took it to mean stuff that's not food at all - like junk food and its LC equivalents - but some seem to apply the term to anything not homemade. Is there a uniform understanding of the term, is it under debate, or does it mean different things to different posters?

I think basically anything like carb reduced things and protein bars and meal replacement shakes. Crap that you really don't need lol. Whole foods are key! But I am sure you know that. Even me, I eat some of them, only protein shakes or protein waters and stuff. I don't eat the bars unless I am in a pinch where I am going to die or not on the meat and egg fast.
I wouldn't say it's things that aren't homemade. I mean, I can go to the supermarket and get a cooked chicken but that doesn't mean it is Frankenfood, lol. I just say it is when it is something that HAD to be altered to be Low Carb. |
I don't think their's a uniform definition of the term. I understand it to mean highly processed food.
Just found this: ") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenfood Wa'il |
Different folks define frankenfoods differently. At one time the term referred to only genetically engineered foods. Since then it has expanded to include highly processed food items.

HA! Wikipedia strikes again; thanks. :D |
Wiki rocks!! I love it. So helpful.
|
My personal definition: Anything that the list of chemicals is longer than the list of food.....
|
Personally I don't use the term. I always sided with Frankenstein. Poor persecuted, misunderstood monster. Mean, stupid villagers! Fire Bad!
|
Heh, Nancy.
Plus, maybe Frankenstein liked to eat whole foods, not chemical snacks. Maybe he'd be very insulted by the term! |
LOL, Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster....;)
I didn't see the movies, but I read the book, you can't help but feel sorry for the creature. |
Of course, I just think of the movie Young Frankenstein. *clomp clomp* Puttin' on the Ritz!
|
Nah... Ritz are too carby. ;)
|
Snerk! :lol:

You know what? I think you're right. Mr. Monster Man would've accepted a low carb tortilla slathered with Hellman's, American cheese and bacon (oozing of nitrate) with gratitude. GRATITUDE, I SAY! None of that snarky "Ooooh - you mean, you didn't butcher and cure the piggy yourself?" from the villagers, and all would've been swell. But noOOooooO... |
LOL! You're killing me here!
