Hear me out. There’s nothing innate to an object that makes it “food”. It’s an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that’s edible “food”. Does that make it a social construct?

      I’m just waiting for some dipshit to wander in here and talk about how we need to “examine the relationship” with food and start calling it something like “people fuel” or some other bullshit term.

        I have never once at any point inserted a “should” into this conversation, besides maybe like “you shouldn’t be a dick”.

        is that what’s so scary to you? that thinking leads to shoulding? take your fear out elsewhere please

          Did you wave goodbye to the handle as you flew off of it?

      Do you genuinely think that it is stupid to be wondering about this? That’s a really sad way to live. Anyway, I hope you have a good day today, despite how mean you’ve been to me. Maybe it made you feel better to be mean to me, but I know from experience that you’re usually mean when things aren’t going well. Good luck.

          Well if you really thought this person was stupid, what was the point of calling them such? You just want them to feel terrible about themselves? That’s pretty dumb. If it’s such a stupid question, you could share an intelligent answer to help. But it seems like you’re just triggered and that it probably happens a lot to you.
