Amberlynn Reid's Christmas vlog ends in a very striking
manner: she breaks down in tears and sobs she just wants
to be normal. I have a story for her, actually an anecdote:
just happened to me today.
I was grocery shopping - we are in Shutdown - in a convenience
store, where the aisles are narrow. In front of me, a woman with
a full cart and two school-aged children. Her daughter was parked
in the middle of the aisle, staring at a wall of various brands of potato
chips, essentially blocking the aisle. 'Come along, the mother turns to
say. 'Why are you not moving.''I'm sad you won't let me buy any chips.'
the girl answers. The mother retorts: 'Skip-hop towards us. This is the
advantage of not eating chips; you will never be weighed down and fat.'
So the girl did...
Yes, Amberlynn is right when she says, on the heels of many vloggers,
"There are no bad foods", 'Moderation is the key' and so forth. But is
the cacophony of wisdom bites about food, no nutritionis would advise
potato chips. Stuff happens, and everyone will taste the chippers eventually
but they are not essential food. Are they a bad food? They are not actual
poison, but they are fattening and addictive. Eaten in conjunction with sugar,
like a glass of pop, they will lead to bloat of the worst kind.
So the mother just explained to the daughter they are not a food for
her. And the latter is young enough to remember and put in practice this
guideline for many years to come. That child will have an easier time being,
looking, NORMAL.
