when left to characterize my childhood im not sure where to start⦠even though the question why are you like this is asked in a more condescending sense...i always start with the woman of whom i am cloned from my granola mom. you've probably encountered one before... you know frequents sprouts, absolutely no snacks, weird about sugar and processed foods.. the kids are sheltered kid adjacent.. you might hear something like "my mom never lets me have that" always like a sandwich and chopped fruits and veggies their lunch box sometimes a cliff bar I digress....
it baffles me how this has become like a right wing subculture because of the alternative medicine aspect, when its always been very NPR liberal coastal elite. The essential oil moms, the green juice moms, the vitamin moms, all one in the same in creating pretentious kids bound to burn out but thats neither here nor there. I say this because the way these women are being perceived is morphing with the current stupid clickbait narratives about weight on the New York times. We've regressed back to dear fat people times which was unbearable the first time around but I think this time will top it. Trust me I know more than anyone how annoying it is when our mothers recite nutrition health journals but I think its ridiculous how these women have become the scapegoats in the way against "fatphobia" Misconstruing these women's health conscious paranoia as coming from a place of vanity when these chicks literally just think they are what they eat and don't want to get sick. These are the women tripping about the hormones being pumped in meat and gmo's in produce their unknown effects to the body... Its an inherent skepticism to where everything you consume comes from bringing me to the pipeline in which this stemmed from which were the anti vaxxers.
How these two "vibes" for lack of better term, correlate I do not understand beyond the health conscientiousness. Stemming from two distinct anxieties one of which as been villainized in recent years with covid for its reactionary radical propaganda pushing coming from a fear of control being asserted. The other in contrast being rather mundane health anxieties being over exerted into long term personal research. I'm derived from the latter, the contents of my lunchbox was always at the lowest value of the table in elementary school. Possibly where my pretty firm alliance for the male species came from despite rather severe daddy issues. They always had the most and best snacks, all of the bad stuff my mom wouldn't let into the house. SHOUT OUT RYAN you always had my back with trying all the processed foods I wasn't allowed to eat 3rd grade parters in crime fr.
It's like almost laughable when I get comments like on my tiktok saying how they wished how their house was like this and how they wish they came from granola chick, assuming that this type of lifestyle guarantees a healthier way of living,,, not realizing the repression that comes with it... as the pendulum swings back at you. no I wouldn't trade it I love the meticulous person it made me, im just saying maybe in theory its cute but it wasn't fun watching everyone eat Doritos when I had to bare with like whole wheat chips.
