funny you should mention that. my family is eating chili tonight for dinner but not me. you can't have all of the sugars in the tomato sauce and not all beans are ok either. my stepdad is an excellent cook - even made his own chili powder from scratch today, but i still didn't eat it. only a little taste. depends on how strict you are but i don't eat beans at all. and also red meat is sorta a no no...unless you are buying completely organic. we have a guy who raises buffalo near my house that does not give the animals any drugs/hormones so i may eat that from time to time. but for the most part i would say no. depends on how sick/strict you are.
