To wish people would stop adding moral judgments to food

[lastqueenofscotland]

It’s everywhere
I’ve just seen an advert for low Valois ice cream saying “you’ll need to find a new way to be naughty.”

The lady I sit next to at work said “oh god I was meant to be good and I’m not” after eating a handful of crisps.

AIBU to think we need to move away from this way of thinking and stop adding weird value judgments to food?

I absolutely hate this in work.

Women constantly talking about diets, etc, and then having to make comments about how ‘naughty’ they’re being or how they ‘shouldn’t be eating this’ every time they eat a bit of chocolate or some crisps.

It’s so bloody constant and dull.

Men never do this!! Not any I work with anyway.

I wish people would just keep their diets to themselves and stop making it so public. I’m sick listening to it. If they didn’t discuss their diets so frequently they wouldn’t have to justify themselves when they ate something ‘bad’

Yes I’ve noticed I’ve never heard a man talk like it
My DP will say he’s eaten lots of stodgy food or hes eaten well. He never uses words that link behavioural traits to food.
