    I am shallow, I already know all the points you've listed in this post, but I have not eliminate any food from my diet (i.e. beef for envirnomental reasons) I am all for moderation - I think we need to eat a bit of everything to get the nutrients to be healthy.
    That being said, I am more cautious in terms of where the food is being produced or made, and what types of ingredients are added.
    The major reason that I've stopped eating certain food is taste!

    I am shallow.

    GoldnSilver, I don't think of it as shallow. Everyone has different reasons for the things they eat, and of course taste is a primary reason. I know pizza and beer is not as good as leafy raw greens but of course I choose to eat pizza. I think if you're careful about eating food based on where it's produced or made and what's been added you're already being very discriminating, which is good.

    I really don't eliminate foods from my diet. I eat what I want, when I want. I have recently tried to purchase more local produce (from farmer's markets instead of Whole Foods), but I still purchase produce from Whole Foods. I guess I try to do things that are better for the environment, kinder to animals, and easier on my wallet....but I end up just compromising....and trying to do it less....

    I'm for moderation in most things, including diet (when vacationing on a cruise notwithstanding!). My wife and I eat a lot of vegetables, fish, and chicken, and not a lot of beef or pork. We tend to eat healthy, but we are definitely not vegetarians. I think our choices are based mostly on health and taste, and less on the environment. But the environment is something I am thinking more and more about these days. We already recycle everything we can, combine trips in the car, and heat and cool less to cut down on energy consumption. Choosing foods based on environmental impact is a logical next step. Nice post -- thought provoking. :)
