I can’t believe I’m hearing the fear mongering of bananas once again and how we shouldn’t eat them together. This is misinformation that is being spread by someone non credentialed who misinterpreted a study. No, bananas don’t negate all the nutrients in berries. Remember, fruits have antioxidants and some of those antioxidants interact with each other. But, does that mean that the nutrition value becomes zero? Absolutely not.

Because talking about nutrition requires nuance and non binary ways of thinking. Not everything is black and white and can be generalized. ✨

…And we’re back with another fiber filled day. As a reminder, if it doesn’t apply, let it fly. Dissertations in the comments are unnecessary 👍🏽

Toned, snatched, lengthened, or whatever word is being used to normalize this, doesn't take away from the propaganda that is being pushed our way. It goes so much deeper than just diet culture. We are currently witnessing ultra thinness being normalized during a time when women's autonomy and rights are being taken away. Be small and less seen. This isn't an accident.

New newsletter is out today! Between the snack tins featured in Vogue that couldn't even feed a mouse and folks asking for tips on a 500 calorie a day diet, we need to stop acting like their is a chiness with eating restrictions.

This and other dumb s**t diet culture had us believe.
