*Disclaimer*
I have to admit that I started using "What the hee haw!" because at the time I was using much stronger phrases... and this was my way of trying to "curb" a bad habit. My parents are VERY averse to swearing in any form ("gosh" and "gee" are not allowed in their house) and so the "strongest" 4-letter word I used as an adolescent was "d-r-a-t."
Somewhere along the line I wound up going in the opposite direction... (With my closest friends, I just let it all go and am grateful they let me do so.)
Picking up lines like "hee haw" is a way to try to keep me from going over the edge... and yet amusing myself at the same time.

'Crunchy' is all about food for me. Like a well-toasted foot-long sub has a slightly crunchy bread. The crust of a pizza is crunchy (so I don't eat it). A cookie or a biscuit is crunchy.
I also love the sound of stepping on dry leaves. They go "crunch .. crunch" under your shoes.
Some humans were called crunchy. I don't know that because I haven't eaten humans .... yet.
Somebody called unwashed underwear crunchy.. gross.

Bahaha! I haven't been on here in ages and I decided to come back and this is the first thread that sparked my interest! I was just about to reply with, "me!" When I saw this, Shour. 
I'm fairly certain that, if I lived alone and how I wanted, I may scare everyone away. I used cloth diapers for my daughter when she was a baby, I hate using ANY chemicals in cleaning or bathing products, I prefer organic produce (which I grow a lot of myself), I drink raw cow's milk, I don't believe in vaccinations as a whole, I made my own deodorant for a while, I use natural toothpaste without fluoride, I shy away from processed foods, I go the homeopathic route for curing most illnesses that crop up, and I love it all! With that being said, I try to not have a snooty attitude about it or preach at people who don't choose to live the way that I do and if I go to someone else's house, I happily eat what I'm served. I started going down the crunchy road because I believe that God gave us everything we need to be able to heal and take care of our bodies and the closer I can stay to His creation, the better off I am. and I shower regularly....and shave my legs....

well, i aim for the snooty attitude as much as possible, otherwise how will everyone else know they're wrong??? ; p
i admire your determination to do things in the way that you feel convicted to live, but without a desire to push it on others. occasionally, i will struggle with that, because i can be a big-time proselytizer of anything i'm super excited about--or something new and cool. my friends can testify to this! haahaahahaa.
as to your list, i am more into eastern medicine than i am homeopathic (though i love my arnica montana!) but i don't reject all conventional medicine. i just pick and choose much based upon a "risk to reward" sort of viewpoint, and try to avoid what i feel is superfluous or can be better remedied.
i also try to eat clean and simple, more than processed and stripped of nutritional value, such as low-glycemic and making things from scratch rather than purchasing a lot of ready-made things. i drink a couple protein shakes a day, since i have trouble getting enough in, and i do take a small handful of supplements that i listed in this thread.
a lot of what people have called me "crunchy" over is really my appreciation for doing things myself. i think there is an elegance to creating your own food, with care and deliberate choice. to nourish yourself like you do with your soul.
like, i do make my own yogurt, kefir, and kombucha, but because it is what i prefer over the store bought (or i'm too cheap to buy it as i would prefer it). aside from cheese, i sort of avoid bovine dairy. the rest is either coconut or goat, because that's what i prefer.
that said, i'm not an extremist, and a big fan of the 80/20 rule in life. meaning, i'm ok with falling short on my ideals some of the time, especially when something more prohibitive exists. i certainly don't eat healthy all the time, and i have no problem eating lean cuisine when i'm too busy (or lazy) to cook and will drink chocolate milk every time i go on a road trip. because it's tradition. : )
thanks for sharing that, by the way. i'm glad you're back. : )
