I am very conscious about what I eat. I try to follow a vegetarian/nutritarian lifestyle, eating as many vegetables, legumes, fruits, and whole grains as possible. It has become a recent obsession of mine in the last 2 years or so, as my husband and I suffer from infertility and I'm trying to feed my body proper nutrition to fix what's going on. A lot of my family, and my husband's family, make fun of me for it. One time my in-laws came over, and dinner was vegetarian and organic, and my fil flipped out and said that organic was a gimmick and a waste of money. Sorry, I don't want to eat poison! I don't ever comment on what they eat, and just do my own thing, but everyone seems to think I'm some kind of weirdo because I actually care about what I eat, and I believe "You are what you eat" to be totally true. is it normal that I actually care about what I eat? Why are they giving me such a problem for it?

    A lot of people will give you a hard time simply out of jealousy. It takes great willpower to eat healthy and some just can't do it.

    People only diss organically grown foods because they either don't know what makes them organic and why they're better, or they don't give a rat's ass and think people who do are pretentious.

    Normal if you're a hippy.

    It's normal I suppose, but it's not exactly an all-good miracle diet. You should study the eating of two healthy foods with water as your diet develops from there, over time, into eating properly instead of following a diet.

    It is a shame that it's not normal. They would be wise to back off and let you eat the way you like. BTW they might just be the kind of people to carp no matter how you eat

    Normal except the vegetarian part. But wheat is ripped from the soil and picked by machine, worse thing than any other grain. In a rut I am, but I'll get used to following my way of life. As for you, wheat can make you allergic, other grains are OK.

    Totally agree! You should eat healthy portions, that's why they make the food pyramid. People make fun just because they're too lazy to do it themselves
