#I'd rather gain weight than completely destroy my sense of self trying to live up to corporate foodie bullshit expectations

Not to be snippy about the diet industry....... okay, yes to be snippy about the diet industry, I think that having a balance of sugary foods and fatty foods and protein-rich foods and nutrient-rich foods is very important. I'm sorry but you motherfuckers want me to eat the most ridiculous shit for every meal!
If I ate "superfoods" (read: colonialism-approved import foods) every single time I sat down to eat, yeah, I would be thinner. I would be thinner because I would be fucking dying! This idea that instead of eating a variety of things, you should eat One Single Healthy Thing that Keeps You Alive Forever is just blatantly idiotic. Sometimes a meal is going to be a fresh, tasty sandwich. Sometimes a meal is going to be a fatty, protein-rich steak dinner. Sometimes a meal is going to be a nutrient-complete stirfry from the nice restaurant down the street. Sometimes I'm going to eat peanut butter cups and applesauce and silly little granola bars because I'm Hungry and I want to keep myself comfortable and fed.
In what universe is that level of variety and comfort going to be replaced by eating the same quinoa/kale/acai salad and drinking a cup of coffee for every single meal?? Fuck you.
