Being vegetarian doesn't make you healthy. It does not save you from eating so much apple pie you become nauseous. Still that silly animal brain in there telling you to eat too much, i'm afraid!
#tbf: this past year i've really taken a critical eye to the holidays wr2 food. at least here.#like the foods are good. but recognizing i have an unhealthy relationship with food has me zooming out on wider practice. if u will#idk it's a tough conversation because i know poverty really fucked up how i eat. like i have specific formative searing memories#of like. having to eat food that i knew would make me sick. or not having food. or having a food so rarely that i'd binge it at five.#and it can be really tough to hold kindness for those experiences. and then look at holidays where overconsumption is the focus.#idk that video of roe harvesting really focked me up.#its a thing where i'm like...most people don't have the access or time or information. and life's so bleak that these points in the year.#these...cyclical treats or whatever. give people something to look forward to. but it's propped up by such a robustly monstrous system.#and if people won't fight to be kind to each other. if we're so beaten down that that's a far ask. how the hell#are we going to overhaul the global food system. how are we going to kill factory farming.#specifically i was thinking of autotrophs vs heterotrophs right. as the ultimate way to not harm.#and theres no way to do it and be human really so its about mitigation.#but. capitalism has placed demands on us and our energy that yeah. plant-based won't provide enough for many. and you're still killing.#and people get so defensive about culture through food. any criticism feels personal.#idk food is so wide and all encompassing and we've really let it feel like background because capitalism prizes convenience. it runs on it.
