re: Food Insecurity

[merridia]

Happy Easter, it fucking snowed again. I am ignoring WrestleMania after the big WWE 'we love rapists and our president' whirlwind press blitz of the last few days served as the last five nails in the coffin of my being able to consume their content without getting overwhelmed by moral ick. They're already back on their monopoly kick what with buying out AAA, hopefully they don't scoop up GCW, too, like it really seems they might; Big Gay Brunch and the Clusterfuck were the only things to make last night palatable, wrestling-wise.

Actually got a decent night's sleep, having had one of my rare crash nights after eating way too much Indian food. My stomach's bothering me today, though. Work remains crazy, and I really wish I could celebrate 4/20 properly this year to offset it. Will have to settle for making perogies and watching an episode of Twin Peaks and reminding myself that I've only got two more days of work before my week off and random trip to Edmonton to go watch David Lynch movies. And then come back to work just in time for month end, I guess. Gross.

I have somehow been here for four hours already. I have accomplished... nothing. Okay, time to try not being a lump for a little while.

11. Have You Ever Experienced Food Insecurity?

I don't think so? It's tough to say, because we were very poor when I was a kid, but my mom did a pretty good job of shielding me from the worst of it. I ate a lot of shitty food, but I'm pretty sure we never went hungry.

Well ...

Low-quality food counts as food insecurity. First, it doesn't contain all the nutrients necessary for good health, and routinely includes a lot of things that are bad for people. Second, eating gross food is emotionally unpleasant and, over time, can impair one's relationship with food. It's just a different facet of problem than not having food to eat.
