I know you meant it as an insult, but I take it as a complement. I have never claimed to be "normal" nor is it my goal to be normal. Normal, when it comes to health and nutrition, is what I try to avoid.

The phrase, "depriving oneself", is a common projection you get from people who are addicted to processed foods. In other words, when addicted people try to eat healthy, they feel deprived so they assume that everyone else will feel the same.
