Fuck Diet Culture, I’ll Eat Microplastics if I Want!

It seems like every week my feed floods with a new toxic diet trend – eat rice cakes, not bread! Replace your ice cream with frozen cottage cheese! Stop putting plastic Tupperware in the microwave! 

Look, I’ll admit, I’m as vulnerable to this pseudoscience as anyone else, but I’m finally putting my foot down. They can vilify my carbs, disparage my sugars, malign my fats, but they will never rob me of my plastics. 

Diet culture seeks to convince us that thinness is the epitome of health and morality. What a load of crap! And also that eating plastic is bad. Equally crappy! 

Diet culture robs women of their childhoods. Nothing reminds me of home quite like some warm mac and cheese and gnawing on those little polly-pocket shoes. 

Plus, we all know that reheated soup tastes way worse from glass or porcelain! Stop letting the wellness industry convince you otherwise! 

We cannot forget that food is fuel. And so is plastic.
