why am i seeing advertisements for a bbc thinkpiece article encouraging people not to eat 3 meals a day and to try intermittent fasting and to skip breakfast so you eat less calories because don't worry, hunger is psychological and the ancient romans only ate one meal a day! i am so sick of disordered eating rhetoric being touted as science. there is plenty of research that says that it is healthy to eat breakfast. there is research that says that eating breakfast is better for your heart, better for your mental functioning, better for your metabolism, better for your blood sugar, better for your cholesterol, and better for your overall nutrition. i am NOT listening to an advertised article basing their model for a healthy diet on out-of-context factoids about ancient rome

man if i had an actual plot structure to use as scaffolding (because i can’t really do slice of life or things like it) i could write so many N and Uzi words that are just the actual practicalities and obstacles (varying in size and some seen, some unforeseen) of an interspecies relationship

out of absolutely nowhere this morning I had the realization that, growing up, my mom constantly let me know that I'm the reason she's fat, that she never lost the baby weight after me, and it always made me feel terrible, and yet I realize now that I've got a similar physique to her, without ever having children, so maybe it was just genetics the whole time and she should've kept her fucking mouth shut lmao

I know the general consensus is that hyperaestheticizing your life to social media standards is like... bad but I definitely started eating better when I started analyzing everything under the lens of if it lived up to my aesthetic standards rather than its relative health factor

was talking to a customer about possibly getting a cookie we were selling and she was like "well it's a holiday so i feel like it's a cheat day :)" and i didn't know how to tell her that i neither believe in jesus nor dieting as a concept

Look up the history of calories as a nutrition tool though. Its bad science. Maintenance phase has a good episode on it. Also basing myself on what the dietician at the ed clinic told me (the most advanced in the field in the country where I was). Kcal are pretty much worthless in terms of nutrition guides, and the ways they're established for specific ingredients is also bad science. Its not anti science to point out terrible methodology and atrocious reasoning.

I’m agreeing with that, I don’t think people should count calories or use them as an indicator of health. They might be a useful tool for some people with very specific medical problems, but overall they’re not something we should be obsessing over. The anti science part of that post I disagree with is implying calories are made up and that all nutrition science is bullshit. That’s a wrong conclusion to draw.

vegan moral opposition to leather is so fucking stupid like, listen, that animal is gonna be killed anyways, you are quite literally never going to convince everyone to stop eating meat/dairy/eggs/etc, and even if you somehow did it'd be ecologically disasterous, humans are an omnivourous species that can have a symbiotic relationship with the animals around them, but thats been fucked over by industrialisation, urbanisation, and capitalism, which are all things we can fix, instead of magically expecting most or all of the population to somehow abanon entire food groups that provide multiple nutrients and let both livestock and predator populations go wholly unchecked, which in turn will wreak havoc on agriculture and the ocean and the rest of the environment, so like if we're gonna be killing animals to eat them anyways, since its pretty damn important for us and them that we do at least sometimes, the fucking least we can do is use as much of the animal as is possible, which includes making leather out of it, which need i remind everyone is also far more sustainable and enviromentally concious than that microplastic pleather bullshit that barely lasts 5 years

And that includes yourself. Also, be mindful that the person whose body you're criticizing might never hear you, but other people will.

watching the teenage girls in your family succumb to diet culture & restricted eating is an awful kind of pain. like what can i even do about it

[not-gray-politics]

My dad likes to watch a lot of diet youtubers (using the roku youtube app so it's blaring across the living room at all hours), and I know no amount of talking it out is going to get him to change, so I made something to entertain myself if I'm gonna be forced to listen to it :')
