apparently I have triggers now about food -- say stuff that hits one and I'll rant

Some days I kind of want to get on top of a building with a megaphone and scream from the rooftops:

Food does not have a moral value.

It has, at most, a nutritional value. Vitamins, proteins, etc. Which are not moral choices. Nutrients are what physically keep you going; they are not moral.

You aren't an immoral person for choosing to eat something sweet. Or for choosing the low-fat dressing because you can't stand the salad without something on it. Or for choosing to have the full-fat dressing because the low-fat tastes like ass. Your choices of what foods to eat? Have no bearing on your moral character. Because food does not have a moral value.

And goddamn am I sick of how this permeates our culture. I actually particularly hate being told what a good, moral girl I am for eating... guess what? The food that I actually want to eat. Because fuck you, no. I am not a good girl. I am woman who is listening to what her body is craving and that happens to be something our fucked-up culture has decided is virtuous.

Food? Does not have a moral value.

Y'think if I did shout it from the rooftops it might make a damned difference?
