1st image: "When I think about processed foods I think about how I work with families in public health and many kids have food sensory sensitivities and foods that are processed are their safe foods. I think about how parents are so scared because they read hit pieces about processed foods and think they are wrong for figuring out how to feed their child so their child grows and lives. I also think about how I work with kids and get them to try new fresh foods as well that many of them are scared to try."

2nd image: "True story - a parent was almost in tears today because her child has sensory difficulties and cannot eat fresh fruits and vegetables. We tried giving him a piece of banana and he expelled it right away crying (no he's not allergic).

"I want her to know and to remember that she's doing a great job. She's giving him packaged food in order to feed him and nourish him. This is more than okay because we are all individual and food affects us differently."

1st post: "Your non-diet list of reminders for today:" Pot of soup emoji. "Do not skp meals to save room for later. Keep all meals and snacks balanced with carbs, protein, and fat for satiety." Dress emoji. "Wear comfy and roomy clothes because anything too tight can cause GI issues and discomfort."

2nd post: Squirt emoji. "Keep an easily accessible water bottle around to make it easier to remind you to drink water." Garlic emoji. "You probably need more onions and garlic for your dish than you realize."

3rd post. Chili pepper emoji. "Keep a small bottle of hot sauce or some sort of seasoning packet to help somewhat in case someone forgot to season their dish." Running emoji. "Movement is not penance or punishment for what you ate. It might make you feel better to get moving today, but it doesn't have to be punishment."

4th post: Pie emoji: "Guilt is not a side dish at your dinner. Large social gatherings are a time when we eat food that we normally don't and might eat more than normal as well. Keep it guilt-free." Broccoli emoji. "Not every dish has to be healthified. Please read this carefully. If you WANT to healhtify something that's fine. If you need to substitute something for allergies, then do so. But please don't feel pressure to do something."

image ID: a facebook post by @thenutritiontea that reads, "Every now and then I think about this diet that was printed in Vogue in the 70s. A "sensible" way to lose weight that includes alcohol 3x a day. I think about how people say they are on a health journey when it really should be called a thin journey. I also think about how we really just applaud aesthetics in society, not health."

Following is a picture with the description: "In a 1977 edition of Vogue, this was printed as a sensible way to lose 5 lbs in 3 days." The picture is of a recipe from Vogue magazine. The recipe reads:

"Wine and eggs / 3 days / loss: 5 lbs (2.5 k.)

Breakfast: 1 egg, hard-boiled 1 glass white wine (dry, preferable Chablis) Black coffee

Lunch: 2 eggs, hard-boiled is best, but poached if necessary 2 glasses white wine Black coffee

Dinner: 5 oz. (150 g.) steak, grilled with black pepper, lemon juice Remainder of white wine (one bottle allowed per day) Black Coffee"

Image description: Three images from @thenutritiontea on instagram and facebook.

The first image is a screenshot of a social media post, with the user name blacked out, saying, "Unpopular opinion…You don't have to eat above 1200 calories very single day" @thenutritiontea replied, "Our organs require 1300 to function."

In the second and third image, @thenutritiontea continues: "As a dietitian, I constantly have to give this reminder-we are human and need food, aka calories, aka energy, in order to live. It sort of comes with the territory. Every single time you think about consuming the absolutely lowest amount of calories possible, replace the word with energy and food. Calories isn't a dirty word. They are what's keeping us alive.

"You also want bread with this???" The woman making my salad absolutely flabbergasted when I inquired about my side of bread because I had put roasted potatoes in my salad. Hell yes.

1. It's free and I'm not turning down free bread out of principle.

2. Thankfully I know that there isn't a one carb per meal limit.

Silly food rules are made up and you don't have to follow them.

I also find the fear of carbohydrates unfortunate because they are so beneficial. There is lots of fear mongering regarding them when we could be talking about how they are fuel for the body and how they are also providing beneficial vitamins and minerals. Maybe one day we won't constantly feel the need to put food on a hierarchy.

Photo of the OP, a Black woman, eating a salad. Text reads, "Why can't I use the word healthy?" Let's chat while I make a salad.

Photo of OP opening the fridge, from the fridge's POV. "You're allowed to say whatever you want but you have to remember context and individuality."

Photo of a bag of kale. "Often times the context of health is weaponized, meaning that we have a very narrow definition of what it looks like."

Photo of kale on a chopping board. "We think of 'perfection' with no ailments, illnesses or conditions. We fail to remember and recognize that not everyone can achieve the level of health that is promoted in society."

Photo of salad toppings: craisins, apple, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, vinegar, and more. "Many conditions are genetic and can develop overtime to seemingly healthy individuals. There are also systemic barriers in place that prevent equitable access to food, healthcare, quality of life, and more."

Photo of OP putting on a latex glove, her expression resigned. "The face you make when you have to massage kale."

Photo of OP grating an apple. "There's nothing wrong with the word healthy and having goals, but remember that ware are all not carbon copies of each other."

OP measuring vinegar over a bowl of shredded apple. "What you consider a healthy goal might be unattainable for others. No one owes you your version of health either."

OP adding craisins to bowl of salad. "In conclusion, health is often weaponized, which perpetuates bias and stigma against those who don't fit the bill of what society deems as in 'perfect health.'"

OP holding bowl of salad. "Health is individual. Health is subjective. Health is not achievable for everyone due to many different factors."
