Iâve decided to use the term âconvenience foodâ instead of âjunk food.â
I think itâs more honest, and less loaded. Itâs all food, some of it is more appropriate when you donât have the spoons left for food prep. It takes slightly more energy to peel a banana than to open a bag of chips.
We try to save the convenience food for days when we need something easy, so eat a banana.
ENNH! WRONG ANSWER
All food fuels your body. If it contains calories, it is fuel. Some foods are denser fuels, some foods have nice additional benefits, but all foods fuel you.
Some foods are really good for building muscle, or supporting your bone health, or giving you energy. Some foods are really good at tasting nice. All of them fuel your body.
Good food/bad food is just puritan dichotomous thinking in service of the Shame Industrial Complex- letâs get those âshouldâ hooks intob everything you enjoy.
Food is fuel. Your relationship with it is personal. Almost all dichotomies oversimplify beyond utility.
So, I had to do a bunch of therapy as a kid because I had anorexia. My dietician drilled into me âfood has no moral value. thereâs no such thing as Good Food or Bad Food; if itâs edible and youâre not allergic to it, then it has a use in your diet, even if that use is just âenjoy eating itâ. Enjoyment is part of your diet and happiness is a vital nutrient.â Basically, even if ice cream âisnât healthy,â if it helps you feel better after a shitty day then itâs fulfilling one of your basic needs: happiness. So eat the fucking ice cream and feel better.
ENJOYMENT IS PART OF YOUR DIET AND HAPPINESS IS A NUTRIENT
Moderation, in all things. Eat too many carrots and you can die too.
my disordered eating experience is that the only true junk food is the food I canât bring myself to eat. nothing you actually swallow is wasted (unless you have a more specific situation). sugars, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, the body can turn it all into Being Alive. virtue? not so much.
The fucking audacity of capitalists to lie on camera right in front of evidence of their failure is blood boiling. How the fuck do they not get the shit kicked out of them daily is fucking amazing.
Video ID: some sort of press conference taking place in an airport with an offscreen reporter and a woman being interviewed onscreen. There is a black band across the top with the caption “Cameraman sacrificed their job for this”
(offscreen interviewer) “Just a final question here–is there any sort of work being done with the airlines in order to get flights actually on time or not delayed as much, just curious if there’s any work happening there?”
(woman onscreen) “Yes–so we’ve seen almost a doubling in improvement in on-time performance since last year–”
(camera pans up to show that out of roughly 24 flights listed on the board, 6 are on time, 4 are cancelled, and the remainder are delayed. The camera continues to zoom in on the board as the video continues.)
(woman onscreen) “–that is a reflection of all the work that we’ve done across the ecosystem together with our partner airlines, with agencies, reducing processing time, reducing wait times, and fine-tuning operations with our air carrier partners, and we see the great results that have come from that.”
my controversial opinion is that real progress in the north wonât be achieved until the world decides to consider the native irish people a white indigenous population like the sĂĄmi
the decision to call the fighting here âcatholic vs protestantâ is literally to make it seem like a religious disagreement rather than a fight between the native people of the land and their colonizing oppressors
the complete lack of infrastructure in primarily irish areas as well as the total suppression of the irish language should genuinely be considered a human rights abuse internationally. why isnât it?
one of the replies on the “please don’t plan events on rosh hashanah and yom kippur” post was like “i don’t understand, how does it interfere? is it because events would be noisy and disturb people in synagogue?”
it didn’t occur to them that we would want to attend the events
Okay so a few weeks ago I mentioned that I have a cross stitch book from the 70s that has a cross stitch pattern that you would apparently make for your friend who just got divorced and I think it is the funniest thing in the world because it is absolutely an insane thing to make and give to someone, but that I couldnât remember what the pattern said that was so funny to me
And I found the book and itâs actually from the 80s but whatever because I found it and. Oh my god. You are not ready for these words.

First of all this is the header for the page, just to get you in the right mindset of what youâre about to experience. A promising start, I think youâll agree.
Okay. I waffled between whether to showcase the pattern itself or the final product but I think itâs so important that you look at the way they chose to stage this for the book.
