Deadly Vanilla Sunshine: Why You Shouldn't Call Food "Crap"

bodyimageblog:

This goes for other synonyms of “crap” too - junk, unhealthy, BAD, disgusting, artery clogging/heart attack inducing, poison, not “real”, empty calories, etc.

Reasons:

1. It literally isn’t true. Food is not poop. No matter what the nutritional qualities of certain foods…

 there’s so many things wrong with this list it’s making me head hurt.  I understand the eating disorder one, sort of.  someone told me it’s okay to have a carvel cake for desert once in awhile….really?  is it okay to smoke a cigarette once in a while? is it okay to cut myself once in awhile? is it okay to do some meth once in awhile?

going to nutrition school has really opened my eyes to the world.  to me, cake is not food.  ice cream is not food (even if it’s organic). mcdonalds is not food.  the value meat at the grocery store is not food.  cheeze its is not food.

nutrition and what the earth has to offer is love.  LOVE!  i can’t wait to live out in the middle of nowhere and not even understand what a grocery store is.  Food CO Ops for life!

What I hear from you:

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE (love) HATE HATE (love). That and more than a little bit of privilege.
