I hate that we're all so ashamed of eating. I say "we" in reference to our entire society, because our culture seems to teach that somehow, eating is weak. I hate that we all feel the need to make an excuse for having a doughnut, or a slice of cake. "Whatever, I'm going to the gym"/"I've ate well today, I can afford to cheat"/"I have a fast metabolism, I won't gain anything anyway". What about, "Fuck you, I want a doughnut", for once? I write this as someone with a deeply entrenched eating disorder. I know what it's like to be constantly dieting. We live in a culture where hunger is strength and cupcakes are weakness, where eating a chocolate bar is totally normal and overly endearing if you're thin, but repulsive, disgusting, "out of control" behavior if you're fat. I hate that. I hate that food has become something that we should be having less and less of, because thinness is promoted as being far more important than our own physical and mental well-being. Even "clean-eating", the idea that some foods shouldn't be "allowed" because they're "unhealthy". We all have eating disorders, really. Some of us; ie myself; just take it further than others. We live in a world where we are all terminally starving. Why?
