Leor Galil of the Chicago Reader wrote an article highlighting the work a handful of us have done lifting up the legacy of Tina Bell. In it, he also unearths more information about Tina’s life and Bam Bam’s story. It’s a long, important, and celebratory ready!
I hate the "higher price = better food" logic. It is SO classist/elitist.
Paying more for fancy labels and acting like you're above fast-food/takeout doesn't do anything to help working-class people who literally cannot allocate that much of their budget to "clean eating". for every single meal they eat. Who can't afford things fancier than CostCo.
It's just giving people an excuse to look down on others and act like they're better than those who can't afford that lifestyle. (Nutritionists and dietitians who use teachings from 30+ years ago and are guided by white supremacist "health" rules, I'm looking at you)
But wait!! There's more!!
I also hate how obsessed people are with calories. High-calorie food does NOT mean unhealthy food.
As somebody who was raised in a "low-calorie, high food value" household...it's bullshit.
Low calorie, mostly plant based meals aren't good for everyone. And I'm tired of pretending that they are.
Anyways, I'm gonna go eat my fast food and high calorie protein and carbs now.

And this is one of many reasons why Philomena Cunk is one of my favorite characters EVER
As much as I want to support ethical farming practices I will be buying the cheapest bag of frozen chicken thighs as much as the next frugal/poor person which is why animal welfare needs to be legislated, not left up to the invisible hand of the free market or some bullshit. Invisible hand of the free market finds itself around a lot of throats.
Ok so I got to thinking and here's my pitch for an APD (auditory processing disorder) creature. Introducing.... the 'Huh?'
Idk just a thought

I love going through situations that cause me to feel both angry and sad at the same time!
And I can't let it out completely because I am a volcano waiting to erupt, and once I erupt it creeps into everything (even to the point that I'm angry at work) because I have underdeveloped emotional regulation skills!!
It's so much fun!!!! [Sarcasm Intensifies]

As a former people pleaser, this is the type of shit I'm on
