Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

This week, on PostSecret, there were tons of postcards that I found interesting. Here is one of them.

It reads:

I compare my groceries with those of others at the store and always find my choices superior.

Sometimes I think that humans have an innate need to feel better than other people. I believe it’s the whole reason clubs and religions exist. Food elitism is just another way for people to feel superior.

Sure, eating healthy is important, but that has little to do with the sort of preachy attitude that I’ve seen.

Honestly, it doesn’t matter WHAT you eat. You can lose weight eating nothing but gummy bears. You can get fat eating nothing but organic whole foods. And what I put in my grocery cart is NONE of your business, so keep your snobby nose out of it.

PostSecret‘s beneficiary is the National Hopeline Network. It is a 24-hour hotline (1 (800) SUICIDE) for anyone who is thinking about suicide or knows someone who is considering it.
