I love this. As a disabled person I notice I see through a lot of snake oil promises my loved ones often don't regarding diets and food because I am very grounded in my reality that they are straight up impossible. I have a lifelong chronic illness so 'getting healthy' is impossible for me, for example. Health is not a meritocracy and I wish more people got that

I've never watched those shows and you have 100% vindicated my decision! Thank you :-)

Sometimes we don’t have the boots! I’ve had to drastically change what I eat for pain reduction but I still cannot afford to do this 100%. I can’t afford the time or money to always pick the organic, grass fed options. Sometimes I find myself unintentionally starving because it takes too much work to meal prep lunches and I can eat restaurant food anymore. I still have more access and privilege than most. I know the food bank would not have many options for me if I had to go. Thanks for bringing this awareness!
