What is your view?

At the end of the day, it is up to yourself what you put in the "open mouth".  Because I am gluten and lactose intolerant, I watch my diet fairly closely.  In the past I have been able to get away with adding in some "naughty" things but at present I am finding that the elimination of all gluten and lactose works well for my health.  I try and limit my processed foods but some times it is really hard especially when you are out and about.   I love fruit and could easily just live on fruit and cheese, however I know that I must eat other good stuff as well.  I would rather drink vege juices than eat veges but what a pain to do the juicing every day!!!!! I think if we just try and do our best to eat healthy well balanced diets then that is good.  To live on a really strict vegan or other type of diet without some "banned" foods would take out the fun of living.  All in moderation is the key.
