Russian term or phrase: мы не живем рафинированной жизнью
Конечно, мы не живем рафинированной жизнью, и даже иногда «хулиганим», устраивая себе пиршество с сомнительной едой. И всё же давайте стараться делать так, чтобы наши завтраки, обеды, ужины и перекусыстали воплощением заботы о своем здоровье.

we don't live a refined life


Explanation:
Слово "рафинированный" переводится как refined / purified, но в словосочетаниях с едой используется термин "refined". Ex. refined sugar, refined sunflower oil.

Example sentence(s):
  • рафини́рованный вкус ― rafinírovannyj vkus ― refined taste
  • рефини́рованный са́хар ― refinírovannyj sáxar ― refined sugar

we are living in a food environment that does not value health


Explanation:
In this context, IMHO, "рафинированной" is not in the sense of "refined", but it means "healthy, natural" or "organic" and "green".
Too many options are possible:
we are living in a food environment that does not value health
a food environment in which it’s increasingly easy to make unhealthy food choices.
We live in a toxic food environment, a nutritional wasteland.
We are not enjoying a Healthy lifestyle, which is free of fake products.
