Getting berated for eating healthy food is sooo annoying

I definitely know what you mean, having gotten into an argument with my girlfriend who is into the organic, high-quality food. All other things equal, I'd rather have organic veggies than regular, etc. However, she berated me for eating all this "junk" (like tuna from a can, protein shakes, etc.) but I just couldn't explain that eating a planned-out, balanced, healthy diet is WAY better than eating any amount of tasty, farm-grown, organic butter, potato chips, and cake. It's frustrating, and it's another example of ways that people tend to have misconceptions about proper diet/nutrition.
