That just means your spouse needs to be double your spouses weight >:3

Reducing the fat content does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

Reducing the sugars does not inherently increase the healthiness of your food.

The only way to increase the healthiness of your food is by adding additional nutrients to it.

I saw a video of someone complaining that fucking chicken tikka masala "wasn't healthy" so they made a "healthier version" that was, in fact, LESS HEALTHY. Because they made it with only fat free dairy products, rendering many of the vitamins they would have otherwise gotten from that meal utterly useless, because the body needs fats in order to absorb them properly.

Two tbsp of brown sugar does not render a meal "unhealthy." Full fat dairy products do not render a meal "unhealthy." Calorically dense foods do not render a meal "unhealthy."

If you're really concerned about your health, add more nutrients. Eat extra veggies or extra protein. But you're not actually worried about your health. You're worried about your weight.

You're worried that in the process of eating a homemade meal with lean protein and veggies and a rich, delicious sauce you will consume more energy than you can use today.

You're worried that energy might be stored so that your body can use it when it needs to later.

You're worried that your relationship with gravity might change. You've been taught to worry about that. You've been taught to misconstrue manufacturered body issues as being "health conscious." But you're not doing things to promote health. You're just trying to reduce your energy consumption no matter what.

Angry at all the people who continue to demonize fatness SO MUCH that a consensual kink between grown humans is seen as disordered, when 90% of the diets we see in the mainstream are straight up disordered eating. But they make you thin, so it’s okay!! 🙄🙄🙄

When we demonize fatness, we demonize food. And with how quickly the ozempic-era has changed society and decimated the body-positivity movement, we are demonizing both like NEVER before. Even compared to early 2000s fatphobia, this shit is on a whole new level.

I have so many more thoughts and may make a more fully fleshed-out post in the future, if my account isn’t nuked. But really, all this shit boils down to too many people seeing fat (and disabled) folk as sub-human, and the dire need for fat liberation because of it.
