It’s insane how much good food even grocery stores toss! I live near a fancy store and see them tossing bags of fresh veggies and bread nightly. Sometimes my kids and I do dumpster diving. Last week we found 27 (!!!) perfectly fresh zucchinis, 8 loaves of bread, and literally a black garbage bag full of onions. Onions

This. It has to be this. I wear sunglasses when I’m high so the other moms @ the playground don’t know.  

He escaped from a slaughterhouse. Now he lives in a farm sanctuary. You’re gross.

Totally agree. Luckily we have a dozen other map apps that don’t include calorie counters!

People are allowed to complain about anything and ask anyone to change anything. Doesn’t mean it’s logical. I just find the entire “triggered” sensation to be interesting and harmful to us as a whole.

One of my favorite dresses of project runway ever. He was so talented.

Omg. I just started laughing because your comment was too real and sometimes you need to laugh or else you’ll cry. Omg that’s horrible. I’m sorry and not even surprised.

Consciously raise our sons to be feminists and respect women. That’s my 5cent advice on how we can change things.

THIS!!! My friend was date raped recently. She was able to throw the guy off her. She told him what had happened wasn’t ok and he had to leave. He was shocked and kept apologizing.

Thank you for the clarification. I understand exactly what you mean about red being someone in nature vs a calorie counter on an app. Not the exact same equivalent. I could come up with a million exact equivalents now that I understand but I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for.

I don’t know what you’re referring to when you say false equivalency. I’ve mad a bunch of comments on this thread and don’t know how to tell who is responding to what.

Explain?

Isn’t the equivalent of having a red free room to relax the same as using one of the other dozens of apps? Nobody is forcing anyone to star at google maps and their calorie counter. I would understand the hysterics if people were forced to read calories before being allowed to get directions anywhere, but that isn’t

Good job being nice.

Thanks for your input. We’ve already dealt with it. This wS a few years ago. We’ve probably tried all the therapies out there. I didn’t just put him into a red room and say “deal. Bye.”

I’ve heard the same re ptsd. It saddens me but I’m not sure I know another way....can’t shield him from red forever.

Yep. So use one of the dozens of other map apps that don’t mention calories. Discussion done.

My kid is autistic and hates the color red. It used to leave him in hysterics. I’d never ask the world to stop using the color red. He had issues with the color-he worked on that. HE worked on it, because they’re HIS feelings. You can’t puta trigger warning on everything or else there would be a trigger warning for

I hear you and sympathize. I’ve dealt with an eating disorder for over a decade. Just this morning I had to check in with myself when I didn’t want to swallow my bagel. So I get it. But also....you need to get some thicker skin

Yes but also, they can just not read that part of it?
