also why I simultaneously understand 'you need to eat vegetables' as an objective statement about our body's need for food-based vitamins, fiber, etc./appreciate the tips that one post includes for incorporating them into your diet if you struggle with the taste/texture AND resent that post for its condescending 'gentle' opening and for this site's/mainstream society's open derision and contempt for people who literally cannot consume them anyway. yeah fucking obviously vegetables are good for you. but food restrictions are real too. sorry that disabilities are disabling.

#I think the opening is op trying to come off as kind but instead it reads as SO condescending like yeah a lot of disabled ppl are adults who #know this already #I can almost guarantee they get shit for it every single day of their life if a single abled person is aware of their eating habits #it's a useful post it's just ANNOYING. plus a lot of the prep tips might not be physically or financially feasible anyway depending on your #type of disability #but I STILL see ppl mocking the phrase 'telling ppl to eat vegetables is ableism'#listen a lot of nonsense getting criticized is passed off as ableism but #I promise eating restrictions are NOT one of those things. they're very real and they fucking suck #like!!!! think about it!!!!!#cor.txt
