Why not? They're idiots.

Well, everyone has the right to be stupid from time to time.

Just as well, for my sake!

I never bought the clean eating fad. Not for a moment. It's just commerce and social consciousness combined to make people follow some new diets and buy new products or brands.
Now, of course, most of the food that we eat today is unhealthy. I know it is, I'm still trying to lose all that junk food weight. It certainly doesn't help that I'm not a particluarly good cook, so I often eat out. When it comes to my cycling travels, it's all the more appropriate. I just look up healthy food restaurants or cafes that can be found on my way. Since the main purpose of any fad is to sell you something, it's not that hard to eat "clean".
not that I'm trying to disrespect people who are into clean eating.

I am lazy, disabled and a mediocre cook.

I cook a good variety of vegetables in a lidded Pyrex dish in the microwave. Little effort, little washing up, little junk.

Don't know if it's 'clean' I know not but it's cheap, easy and fairly healthy.

And if it's tasty and filling then all the boxes are ticked.

Actually, I care little if it's trendy.

It keeps us fed, partner seems satisfied, we're not spending a bomb and not getting fat/diabetic/starved.

That will have to do.
