Great observation Teaser. Gorge is a moralistic term not a health term. I would also suggest, just to be fair, that "clean" is also a moralistic term not a health term (I'm not accusing you of using that term Teaser). I find the term "clean" when it is applied to eating offensive because of this moralistic tone. I wish we could just stick to issues of health and not moralistic assumptions when discussing diet.
