The only one I like is Tostitos. </p> <p>I am not a fan of diet anything. I'll take my regular Coke (though I prefer the cane sugar one).</p> <p>When I'm buying groceries, I avoid buying farm raised fish but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/3#post-1545341 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 07:34:15 +0000 heartonastring 1545341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home we eat whole, non-processed foods about 90% of the time. We eat out so rarely that when we do pretty much anything goes.</p> <p>Things I go out of my way to avoid: non-fermented soy, canola oil, HFCS, aspartame/other artificial sweeteners, tilapia, margarine, most low-/non-fat products.</p> <p>I'm a bit of a food snob, but I have no problem admitting that while I do my best, sometimes temptation is too hard to resist :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/3#post-1545246 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 06:16:24 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1545246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm. I usually count myself as a pretty non-picky eater, but when I list all of the things I don't eat, it's actually a fairly big list!</p> <p>Biggest thing: Internal organ meats. I used to live in a country where goat intestine was considered a delicacy, and I ate it once, not knowing what it was. Never again. Even not knowing, it wasn't a pleasant experience. Not a fan of liver or other organs either.</p> <p>Sodas: Mainly because regular rots my teeth and diet gives me massive stomach cramps. I do drink ginger ale when sick, though.</p> <p>Most fast food, as well as chains I don't agree with politically (chik-fil-A, Domino's, etc).</p> <p>I try to avoid lots of other things like high fructose corn syrup, and packaged foods where the first handful of ingredients are not recognizable as food. This last one is more a goal than an uncrossable line, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1545191 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 04:56:48 +0000 bushelandapeck 1545191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Red meat, fast food, and anything that I know, or can read the label and determine is super high in fat or calories. I also don't eat a lot of things mentioned here because I'm allergic to dairy. I eat more than my fair share of diet and artificial sweeteners though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1545116 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 01:15:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1545116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Artificial sweeteners or diet food. Artificial strawberry flavor in desserts, baked desserts with preserved fruit/jam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1545105 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 01:04:30 +0000 MamaJ 1545105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I don't know why "food should not be blue" made me LOL so much but it did.

Give me full sugar any day after having a close family friend die before she even reached 50 as a result of artificial sweetners causing heart complications.<br /> I also won't eat red meat - I'm not a vegetarian. I still eat white meat. My body just won't tolerate red meat because I absorb too much iron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1544574 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 20:25:52 +0000 Raindrop 1544574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tripe - animal stomach - it's always at dim sum... everyone seems to love it... but my parents never ordered it when I was growing up... and the first time I saw it was in college and all the other Asians thought I was weird for not liking it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1544531 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 20:15:16 +0000 travelgirl1 1544531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Foie gras.

I prefer real butter. And Chick-fil-A and Papa John's. I'm sure I give money to companies whose beliefs and practices I don't agree with, but it really irritates me when they're vocal about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1543850 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 16:53:12 +0000 yin 1543850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: So much! Pretty much anything you buy from the grocery store that is not fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats. Actually some meats are injected with a soy water mixture to plump it up. Some items that come to mind include chicken broth, cookies, bread, crackers, spaghetti sauce, meatballs, cereal, frozen garlic, hummus, and vitamins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1542727 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:15:43 +0000 cheert16 1542727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shinymama: at least I am not the only one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1542688 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:06:18 +0000 Mae 1542688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Do you just not like eggs? Or do you object to them for some reason? Also chick fil a counts! I won't eat there either and it has been soooo hard during pregnancy because there is one like 1 mile from our house and I have wanted it so bad. Why does hateful chicken taste so delicious? </p> <p>@yin: what sorts of surprising things have soy in them? That isn't something i've noticed, but maybe I'm just not paying enough attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1542663 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:01:25 +0000 mrsjyw 1542663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i avoid artificial sugars and soda products entirely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1542621 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 11:52:17 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1542621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are pretty strict about the type of food we keep in our house - local, organic, minimally processed, full fat, etc. </p> <p>But I will eat pretty much anything. When we go over to friends house, I eat what they serve, regardless if it processed, not organic, artificial sweeteners, etc. I'll eat fast food on occasion. We eat "junk" in moderation so I'm not worried about it at all. </p> <p>I hate eating chicken wings because I hate the feeling of my teeth touching bone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1542614 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 11:50:16 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1542614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meat is #1 on my list. I haven't had red meat since I was 13 &amp; started eating chicken again when I was pregnant with Chloe. Now I only eat chicken if it's from the local farm (we only buy it from one place!) and I eat it maybe 5-6x a year. You'll never catch me ordering it out and I pick it off my food (like a pizza).</p> <p>I won't buy it, touch it, or cook it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1542588 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 11:44:02 +0000 Boheme 1542588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No fake cheese stuff, no packaged baking mixes, no food coloring, no instant/convenience foods or frozen meals, no sugar free (unless its naturally sugar free) or fat free foods. Our rule is that if it wasn't available to our great great grandparents, or we can't recognize the ingredients, we don't eat it regularly. We make exceptions here and there, but try to eat 90% this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1542549 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 11:37:09 +0000 Littlebit 1542549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of items I don't eat just because I'm super picky and don't like the taste, but I don't eat any meats beside chicken, turkey, beef, and pork. No duck, veal, deer, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anything-you-absolutely-refuse-to-eat/page/2#post-1542523 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 11:31:29 +0000 shinymama 1542523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: Same.
