my dad thinks hes a health expert because he watches videos of doctors saying questionable shit on youtube. "cracking your joints too much means youre going to get arthritis" "intermittent fasting is good for you" "sugar is bad, salt is good, simple as that" and he says these things with such confidence as if he didnt just learn them 3 minutes ago from a highly unreliable source that he 100% did NOT fact-check

#the things he says about food and nutrition are especially insulting. he hardly ever cooks and when he does it's usually just meat+starch #if it's dad's turn to cook u know someone's gotta intervene and make sure there are vegetables other than pickles on the table #meanwhile my mother has been working her ass off to feed nutritious meals to her family for 26+ years #AND she grew up as a fat girl so she is well acquainted with fad diets & health food myths #dad does not have the CREDENTIALS
