That may be true - the studies are numerous and relatively consistent in their conclusions. But allow me to share with you where that falls on my Healthy/Fuck Off Scale.
To further explain:
Foods that are very Healthy, and that I agree have many Health benefits, are low on the Fuck Off scale. (Example: You tell me spinach is very Healthy. I may not like spinach, but I concur with your analysis and therefore eat lots of spinach.)
Foods that I am told are not SO Healthy but I think are Healthy Enough on occasion are higher on the Fuck Off scale. (Example: On occasion, despite all the arguments against legumes, I will tell you to Fuck Off and eat the damn peanut butter. These occasions are not common, but they do occur.)
Foods that I am told should be eliminated from my diet completely because they are nowhere near Healthy, but which I have determined are mandatory for me having an enjoyable existence for the next 50 years, are EXTREMELY high on the Fuck Off scale. These foods include iced coffees, Grey Goose dirty martinis and anything covered in maple syrup.
I hope this helps to clarify my position on some of these important dietary issues, and I encourage you to develop your own H/FO Scale.

It's important to note that your insulin levels are high when you first wake up. That means you should have a few beers immediately after waking. See? Morning drinkers aren't alkies; they're just being smart.
So, I guess I would have to put the Green Ginger Chicken Soongs (lettuce wraps with ginger sauce) I just ate in the Fuck Off section. I guess it's one of those days.
I want to hear more about the effects of caffeine, preferably over breakfast...you know- french toast with syrup and coffee.
I find that as time goes on, I reluctantly drop foods off the "fuck off" scale as I concede that they are, in fact, more unhealthy than they are worth it. But some things are sacrosanct. Those scientists can pry my espresso from my cold, dead, vibrating, hyper-caffeinated hands.
OMG I LOVE it! I need one of those. I too have a real soft spot for maple syrup - mmmm - syrup on bacon or sausage or eggs or ... *drool* I may just decide to put that back on my Fuck Off list. In fact - i think that list has gotten a little too short lately. ... French toast. Also back on the list. (it's got eggs ... and it goes great with Syrup!)
Mmmh, the fuck off list
thank you... i now feel so much less guilty about my so called zone beer! muahahahahaaa
love it Byers! Love it!
That's awesome. I definitely subscribe to this one. ;)
This may have just out-ranked the metabolic pathways graph and Coach's Power/Time graph as the coolest Crossfit related chart...
Breyer's Cookies & Cream is firmly planted in my F-Off list
Melissa - you are inspiring and hilarious! I am just getting into Cross-fit, most of my workouts are scaled. I'm looking into starting the Zone which I'm not looking forward to. I'm very happy to know having a Healthy/ Fuck off scale can work as I can't give up my coffee!
Ok you got me-I LMAO and had to put you in my faves for this one. Keep up the great work-I'll be back!
Mike
Every time this diet crap gets me down, I just take a look at F-off scale. Love it.
Your website is Epic Fail. Get a real life.
Coconut. Anything coconut is so far up the Fuck Off scale that people can totally Fuck Off if they even start to give me guff about it.
And no, I don't have a sense of humor about it. Coconut = God.
Brilliant in its simplicity. I will implement this immediately.
I 100% agree with your thoughtful placement of coffee on the H/FO scale!!
And you should try maple syrup with the butternut squash/sausage breakfast from "steal this meal" Heaven.
As I drink my morning coffee, I read your post. And laugh. Thanks for the morning humor!
