I think about how the nutrition roundtable meeting that was held on Monday, probably made Rev. Graham and Dr. Kellogg smile. Cleanliness and purity are the goal, but for which demographic exactly?
this is so informative and entertaining despite the grim reality,, and also, i will now see each graham cracker crust that i put below another one of my scrumptious cheesecakes as a historical revenge and (mis)appropriation that puts the graham cracker right into its place right along lots of indulgent joyful other ingredients
I always think I have seen all the things that can make my jaw drop, but nope, there's always more. The conspiracy/wellness/spirituality/purity culture pipeline is just...oooof. Doppleganger and Conspirituality really brought all these ideas together for me in probably the most concrete way recently (before I found you!). Unfortunately, as I learn more, the more frustrated and sad I am that here we are still just walking around every day just desperately trying to not fall into yet another culty trap related to something as basic as feeding ourselves. I want it to stooooop.
As someone who still has a pretty deep faith, it’s bs like this that’s found such a home in organized religion that’s gotten me to step away. It sucks. I can share reality all I want in these places, but people would rather feel empowered by clinging to the those saying “what THEY don’t want you to know..WE know!” It’s all very face-palming.
"So we shouldn’t trust large corporations, but we should trust people pushing their own line of products, pills, and potions?" THAT! And the history! And then the Tyra gif... Chef's kiss, as always. Thank you for your work and for sharing it! <3
Thanks for writing this. I actually read it yesterday, but your 3 questions kept coming back to me. As someone who is struggling with an eating disorder these all resonate with me. Don't the same 3 apply equally well there? Is this just another parceling of the wellness/diet culture?

The history of food is so fascinating.

Honestly it’s all mind boggling

Don't ever stop writing
Thank you ☺️
Proof that neither the Left nor the Right has a monopoly on stupidity.
They are stupid in different ways, but both reject science and Reason.
One rejects evolution and 200 years of vaccine science; the other believes a girl can have a penis and global warming will kill us all.
This is a consequence of the US abandoning science education as soon as we had won the race to the Moon.
