I’m hoping that even if it does get canceled, Charlaine Harris keeps writing the series. I’ve really enjoyed it so far.

Nope, I’m still not watching. My dislike of Candace Cameron outweighs how much I like most things.

The fight for gay marriage was about protecting gay families in situations like this. It wasn’t about taking rights away from others like Pat Robertson recently claimed.

I hope even they will shut the hell up for her. She served in a military that protects their right to hate. I think I’ll pour one out for her tonight.

Well at least she died... sigh. The last fifteen years the phrase ‘died serving their country’ has been trotted out so many times it’s is essentially meaningless. Someone was willing to devote themselves to service - a noble goal - and how did their country honour that service? Creating a quagmire whose ripples,…

Well, this is heartbreaking. Love and peace to her family, widow, and son.

The extreme “clean eating” dieters always seem to lean anti-vax and it’s awful. I don’t really care what you eat but don’t ruin herd immunity for the rest of us because you think vaccines should be cut out of your kids’ life to fit your “lifestyle”.

If you’re not eating something because you don’t like it, then you’re absolutely not who she’s getting at in this article. Chill out, she wasn’t getting a dig at you.

That’s fine and dandy that you just don’t like sugar, (though I don’t think she’s being quite so literal with the cake thing), but I feel obligated to say that what the bathroom scale says is no indication of whether or not a person has an eating disorder. (I’m not saying that you do, of course, but that in general…

Maybe you having a hearty meal with dessert once every month would be eating in moderation, even according to Nigella’s standards? It would count as having “a slice of cake” every now and then.

I find it interesting that Clean eating is a trend more in countries in with junk food and obesity is high ( also because of the absence of food culture and cooking). It’s also a way of signalling something on your social class, as the rate of obesity are the highest among poors.

I’d argue that the very language of “clean eating” imbues food with a level of stigma and phobia that’s pretty pathological. In eating disorder treatment, we talk about “disordered eating” versus an eating disorder. I don’t know if it’s safe to argue that clean eating is always an eating disorder (nor do I assume…

The scariest are Banana Girl and Durian Rider. These two spread so much misinformation about nutrition, vaccines, birth control pills, and intrauterine devices. Choosing to eat plant based can be excellent, but these two are bad representations for the “movement.”

Ok, saddled in and awaiting the willful misreadings of this woman’s statements that will inevitably ensue.

Jordan Younger, who blogged as the Blonde Vegan (now, the Balanced Blonde) gave a few really interesting interviews about her experience with orthorexia

At it’s extreme, this type of obsession with “clean eating” is called orthorexia. It’s a recognised disorder. When people get so involved in a certain type of restrictive diet, such as paleo, it can be really harmful. But often it’s not picked up, and people who are obsessive are celebrated as super-healthy role…

Pulling food out of the trash because you can’t resist is an eating disorder, for sure. It’s never even occured to me to do that.

Honestly bro if you’re wondering why you can’t “fix yourself,” and you admit that throwing something in the “inside trash” won’t stop you from pulling it out and eating it, it sounds like what you’re dealing with is a deeper psychological issue. Maybe you should be working that out instead of giving other people…

every time you feel the urge to spend time debating what the national public narrative on body acceptance should be - jog in place for 5 minutes instead.
