It’s kinda crazy how well it works— I have always been someone who chews tons of ice, and I thought it was just a personal preference, but apparently that’s associated with iron deficiency and since I’ve been doing the blackstrap molasses in my coffee, I’m using wayyyy less ice! It’s strange. It has to be organic…

Whoa, MyFitnessPal recommended 1200 calories a day?? Mine sends me warnings if I eat anything less than that— I wonder if that’s a new feature to stop itself from accidentally recommending crazy restrictions based on what people enter as their goals? But yeah, that app can really easily veer into obsessiveness.

I put blackstrap molasses in my coffee, which is delicious AND can really help with iron deficiency!

It’s possible to care about more than one thing at once, and people who disguise their self-aggrandizement as anti-capitalist activism are worth calling out.

I figured it would be New York because Californians would just. . .not eat bagels. But NYers will have to keep up the appearance of being super into and snobby about bagels without actually consuming any carbs.

I just googled “scooped out bagel” in order to confirm that this is something being recommended by weight loss nitwits. YUP IT IS. I love when the NYPost is inadvertently awesome, though; they just chose the perfect vacant-looking dimwit to photograph and quote with the stunning insight, “It’s a lot less bread” http://…

I am so confused and upset by this. What kind of psychopath would want a bagel with the BAGEL part scooped out? This is seriously something that was a COMMON request? WHAT IN GOD’S NAME IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE

There are definitely some jerks working at hipster coffee shops. I just don’t like hearing them all impugned because most of the coffee people I know are lovely and are happy to explain the menu to someone who isn’t familiar, as long as THEY aren’t being jerks about it.

True, it’s definitely not a Starbucks-wide policy though, because I’ve been corrected on it maybe once.

I suspect that entire bar was intended to be an elaborate prank. WTF?

Erm, I dunno man, you might be projecting. I worked in the fancy hipster coffee industry for several years and judging people for putting cream and sugar in their coffee is Not A Thing.

I’m all for critique of capitalism but I’ve never met a dumpster diver who didn’t annoy the hell out of me. And that’s because they’re all about Themselves and how their lifestyle would save the world, and they never seem to A. Acknowledge the privilege that makes this lifestyle comfortable for them (every single one…

True, but they don’t need to correct you when you say small. They know what you mean.

Oh, yeah, I think I vaguely remember that too. It works if you’re doing light cardio like biking to work or walking, I guess.

WTF?? You’re not even supposed to exercise every day, because your body needs to recover! Get yourself a new PCP.

Same, except I am overweight and that adds another weird layer for me— I don’t want to not eat the cake and have people think ‘oh finally the fat girl is dieting’. When actually I just don’t like cake that much.

The best thing about these guys is they always seem to think they are the first person who has ever posed this question to fat activists.

Maybe if I go paleo? And juice cleanse and crossfit?

You look gorgeous!

But. . .but. . .I thought if I stopped eating gluten I’d be immortal :(
