š½I think some lifestyles choices are very unnecessarily politicized right now because bad actors have captured the entirety of the discourse surrounding them for their own rhetorical purposes and twisted them to fit their biases. Iāve actually been attacked recently and accused of being an alt-right nutjob by someone who knows the way I eat which saddens me!
Itās also difficult to talk about your own dietary choices sometimes without making people feel personally attacked so when I say this keep in mind itās just what works for me ā¤ļø
I avoid seed oils as much as possible and choose to use butter, olive oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil instead (if you would like to hear a coherent, logical, data-driven argument for this check out this video). I donāt eat a lot of chicken and rarely if ever eat pork; if I eat them itās usually pasture-raised chicken and forage-fed heritage pork from the farmers market because the meat is higher quality due to their diet and better animal welfare standards. Same with eggs; I would never buy eggs at the store when I can get the best quality eggs I can buy for like $6 a dozen from my favorite friendly farmers. I eat fresh produce in season but I honestly love organic frozen vegetables because theyāre cheaper and easier to manage.
I eat a lot of grass-fed beef and grass-fed New Zealand butter. I go through wedges of aged parmesan absurdly quickly. I love organic pasta imported from Italy and try to buy organic for almost everything. Lots of black espresso. fresh bread from my neighborhood bakery and dessert about once a week. I donāt like to carelessly or mindlessly eat sugar; if Iām going to do it I want it to be a real treat! Love carbs.
If I buy processed food I prefer that it has a short ingredient list and you could say I live in an āingredients household.ā I donāt eat until Iām hungry (usually somewhere from noon to 2:00 pm) at which point Iāll eat a snack with protein and fat. I eat one big meal at the end of the day.
Iāve tried a lot of different dietary lifestyles. I was a vegetarian for about a decade and a vegan for a good portion of that time. I ate keto and fasted regularly. I didnāt eat any sugar for a couple of years. Iāve incorporated elements from all of these and found a way of eating that I enjoy! I feel good in my body and Iām never stressed about what Iām going to eat.
Food is a joyful thing for me and my dream is for better nutritional education and the ability to buy healthy foods (whatever that looks like to them) to be accessible to everyone š

šAs my cousin Ronnie would jokingly say at family reunions, Iām on the seafood dietāI see food, I eat it!!
I have historically had a problem with overeating snacks and if I buy chips itās really easy for me to eat them all in one sitting. I embrace an ingredients household mindset and try to only buy whole foods based snacks like cheese, nuts, etc that are so boring and wholesome theyāre kind of hard to eat too much of them.
Demonic food scientists and executives at corporate conglomerate food manufacturers, many of whom worked at cigarette companies in the past, have engineered hyper processed foods to be optimally addictive. I replace the chips I used to be addicted to with alternative snacks that use better ingredients and typically come in much smaller bagsāI have yet to find my methadone for my drug of choice, HOT CHEETOS because Iām OPPRESSED and the bougie snack industry evidently doesnāt care about MY NEEDSāand I portion them out into bowls when I eat them then put the bag away.
If you have some kind of an Uber Eats/Doordash problem then delete those apps because itās too easy to just summon whatever you want whenever you want, on a whim. Make it so if you want to get food you have to go out and work for it. Add friction to counterbalance your impulsive nature! And when you eat, eat mindfully and slowly.
Also if youāre regularly craving certain foods I hear that it can have something to do with nutritional imbalance so be mindful of thatā¦

š®If youāre hungry but questioning how āhealthyā a food or meal isābut the alternative is that you donāt eat at allāthat food or meal is healthy by default. Eat!
(former nutritionist who often has to say this to myself too, as chronic illness increases the risk of disordered eating and just being hella stressed doesnāt help either)

there is something so deeply intimate about knowing a personās penmanship. you could know someone for years even but not know what their handwriting looks like.
i had a coworker (turned friend) at my old job tell me how when she misses me she looks at the post-it with the passwords i had written for my work accounts.
(sharing mine here bc in my head iām friends with everyone who comes across this post. pi.fyi community has gotten me through some tough times last year and i love learning new things through peopleās recs here!!)
