What in the actual fk.

Can we *pretend* that, collectively, as a society, we want to be healthier?? ffs.

"We see patients who don’t know what to eat anymore because they identify food as the source of all their issues see patients who don’t know what to eat anymore because they identify food as the source of all their issues." - from a source that natural society is writing against

Looks like natural society is slanting things. The designation seems to be for people who have an obsession which is damaging their health. As in, not people who are enthusiastic about eating healthy, but those who omit important parts of their diet obsessively and to their own detriment.

Pretty spot on lol.

It almost kind of is a disorder though, with gmos and gluten and sugars w/e etc people stress out way too much on eating "healthy" I was a cashier at a grocery store man and the conversations I've had and overheard are too crazy.

Mom freaking out because her kid wanted something with gluten in it and so on. The part seeing food as the source of all their issues is on point. U even got threads in this sf people stressing out on how to fill out their macros like they forgot how to eat
Fatties prob gon see this an excuse tho to keep the fatlife goin

gluten's the shit

This. It blows my mind how people have no idea how to eat healthy.Or even be healthy in general regardless since we're on the topic.

Had a mom come to pick up her kid at my work today, she made a comment about the bread we had made at the program the previous week. She said she couldn't believe it was bread, because it tasted like cake.

The ingredients were basically the same ingredients that go into a cake... the nutritional content was that of a cake (just a ton of flour and sugar)... but she clung to the two words as if they magically separate what the food is: "Cake" and "bread".

I'm guessing she doesn't know how to read the ingredients or the nutrition information which are both mandatory on all food products lol

Sometimes when I hear people talk about health related things I want to go hang myself. I don't even know a ton about being healthy, but shit c'mon people... If a dummy like me can maintain good health anyone should be able to do it.

I'm trying real hard to hold on to the last vestiges of my hope in humanity but it's tough some days...

I know that feel bro...

I like cake.
