#and shes all judgemental and elitist while eating so badly compared to when i was a kid. she still brags about how well she eats and

[beeseverywhen]

So I read an article about how instead of 5 a day they are now saying 30 plants a week (this includes other plant foods you can't include as your 5 a day but still that's loads.) Anyway it was actually a good article and the woman was saying 'bad timing for this advice. Ppl can't afford to eat full stop.'

Anyway I'm really annoyed because I mentioned it to my mum saying how difficult that would be. I eat a lot of vegetables, so many in fact that I have to make a pronounced effort to eat more meat on Dr's orders. I'd say my diet has always been largely vegetable based with lentils and beans for protein cause they're a lot cheaper than meat, but there's no way I've got anywhere near that much variety. I'm eating a lot of plant but it's like, lots of the same. I make an effort to pick things that are different from each other in like colour and stuff so I'm getting a variety of nutrients, but I'm still eating multiple portions of the same old cheap vegetables in most meals. I'm not saying it's not doable, but it's definitely not easy and would be prohibitively expensive for most ppl and I mean. I grow a lot of my food! If I'm finding it hard on a not particularly restrictive budget, growing my own food, and eating mainly vegetables, it's going to be nearly impossible for a lot of ppl. I don't know it seems to me like its sending the wrong message. The article had a good point about the timeliness of it and I don't know. I think encouraging ppl to eat more of whatever plants they can get is better than being like 30 or broke. I mean 5 portions of peas a week is better than 0 portions???

And she was immediately like ACTUALLY it wouldn't be. I counted it up at work and it's really easy to do as you can include nuts. And I'm like??? 70% of the time when I come round you're eating pot noodles for dinner. That's 0 vegetables 1 plant. Like I don't think she's eating 5 a day let alone 30 a fucking week. I know this is so petty but like. She's so elitist about healthy eating and she eats like shit. She only thinks she eats healthily cause she's got a phobia of numbers and has never actually looked at how many micronutrients are actually in her food and yet she like fucking lectures ppl and gives them meal plans and shit
