Rant about weight, fat acceptance, obesity and health

The key is moderation. You can eat bad foods every now and then, but it doesn't need to become a habit. It's all about maintaining balance.

Thanks for this comment. This is the part people don't get, that is ok to eat junk food on occasion but that it should just be a treat, not the bulk of your diet.

I am a long time vegan for ethical reasons, so there are foods I don't eat for that reason. I do try to keep the bulk of my diet fruits, veg and whole foods to be sure I'm taking in adequate nutrition every day. But every so often, I'll have a vegan pizza, chips, bake some brownies or cookies (I tend to stay away from refined sugars) or have some of the process faux meat products. Junk food once in a blue moon is fucking delicious and won't kill you or negatively affect your overall health when you eat an overall healthy diet. In fact, I've always found when you make whatever your favorite junk foods might be a TREAT rather than a dietary staple, it tastes even BETTER because you don't eat it all that often. There is no need to deprive yourself of things you love eating, but theres no need to overdo it either.
