Heiharris' sandbox for editing Wikipedia articles for an English course at Butte College.

Hi Heidi, What you've got here is plenty. Your next step is to move your changes to the mainspace (review the training directions for help with that). I'm working on getting you an answer to the source your found from The Standard. You're well on your way. :) Springerhe (talk) 20:03, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

In the article clean eating, I noticed that it has very limited information and looks like it is just the beginning of an article. I believe that there is room for much improvement and many additions. On the Talk page, there is only one entry and it is stating that maybe a history section could be added. I thought about researching more of the history and adding to the criticism section, as there is only one criticism in this section. At first glance and with further research I think that maybe GMOs and organic foods may be possible topics that could be connected with clean eating. Also, Orthorexia nervosa is listed under the see also section. I plan to research the connection between clean eating and this disorder more. Maybe I can find more facts and can add a section with risks and/or disorders, and possibly a section with health benefits.

Posted to the talk page regarding the existing references on the clean eating article. The references are all from magazines and news articles. From our training these are not typically viewed as reliable and valid sources. Will research the possible references I posted for more information to add to the article.

Spent 45 minutes taking notes from the possible references I posted last week. In the "Natural Foods" article I found a possible criticism that could be added to clean eating and why processed foods may be healthier. There is another possible criticism in the "Whole Foods vs. Processed Foods" article about the dangers of consuming too many whole foods. I believe that I can add Diverticulosis to possible diseases associated to clean eating, as it may be caused from not eating enough fiber, but need to research further on if clean eating is a low fiber diet. Using the databases through Butte College I have found it difficult to find anything directly related to clean eating. I'm going to try to research more on fad diets in the database, but may need to research outside of that. Someone stated on the clean eating talk page that the article is to show how it may be a scientifically flawed diet, so I may need to find sources through the internet. They also stated that the existing magazine and news articles that are referenced on the page are reliable sources. I need to research more resources and information.

Spent 30 mins researching other possible resources. Reference #4 on the clean eating page is invalid. I thought that https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/foodanddrink/why-the-hemsley-sisters-and-deliciously-ella-are-turning-their-backs-on-the-cleaneating-fad-a3436786.html could be a good replacement for this source; however, I am unable to edit the references on the clean eating page or on the rough draft that I copied to my sandbox. I, also, edited the criticism section by adding a little bit of information I had found and then added a separate diseases section. The osteoporosis portion was information that was already on the page. I just moved it from criticism to diseases. I plan on adding information to the diverticulosis section. I'm debating if I will have the Orthorexia section in the diseases and how it leads to anorexia, but unsure if I should do that or leave in in the "See Also" section. I plan to research the connection between these further.

Updated criticism and diseases section, as it seems to work better in one section. I have decided to focus on only the criticism and diseases section of this article. I will not be using diverticulosis as it is hard to actually find resources connecting this disease with clean eating. Posting to clean eating talk page about updating #4 citation. I spent 20 more minutes looking for sources and researching Orthorexia, and10 minutes searching for a photo on Wikipedia Commons, but did not see anything that would fit in this article.

03/16/2018
Added a peer edit review regarding The Forgiveness Project on Rayelaine02's talk page.

03/30/2018
Moved work to mainspace of clean eating article and updated citation 4 to an archived link of the original article.

04/04/2018
Added links on the clean eating article page to foodborne illness and anorexia. When I was first editing the article I had already included a links to obsessive-compulsive disorder and orthorexia nervosa.

04/05/2018
Spent 20 mins searching for a picture to add to article on CC search and wikipedia commons, but nothing seemed beneficial to the article. Added links to clean eating on the "Orthorexia nervosa" and "List of diets" Wikipedia pages.

Clean eating rough draft 03/01/2018
copied from clean eating

Clean eating is the belief that there are health benefits from eating whole foods in their most natural state and avoiding processed foods such as refined sugar. Variations of clean eating diets may also exclude gluten, grains, and dairy products and advocate the consumption of raw food.

The clean eating concept has been particularly associated by the media with Ella Mills, Natasha Corrett, and the Hemsley sisters, although Mills and the Hemsley sisters have distanced themselves from the phrase and say they never used it.

Criticism
The idea has been criticized as lacking scientific evidence for its claims and in extreme cases posing health risks by cutting whole food groups out of the diet. It has also been claimed that processed foods have been modified to prevent diseases and therefore have more health benefits than a clean eating diet. Among criticisms various diseases have been linked to clean eating, such as osteoporosis and orthorexia nervosa. Other health risks associated with this diet are food poisoning and diseases from parasites.

Clean eating can cause an increase in the risk of osteoporosis due to a lack of calcium normally provided through the consumption of dairy products. In April 2017, The Telegraph reported that the National Osteoporosis Society in Britain had described clean eating as "a 'ticking timebomb' that could leave young people with weak bones" due to cutting dairy products out of their diet. In 2017 it was the subject of a BBC documentary Clean Eating - The Dirty Truth.

Orthorexia nervosa is a label given to someone who is obsessed with healthy eating resulting in mental and physical health issues. Someone with orthorexia may suffer from "vitamin and mineral imbalances", obsessive-compulsive disorder , and could show signs of anorexia due to malnutrition from a clean eating diet that lacks a variety of food sources.
