Stop Judging My Unhealthy Eating Habits

Give me nuggets or give me death.

Considering the fact that it's 2017, I thought we as a society were over food shaming! However, we apparently aren't based on the looks I get when I declare my love for Taco Bell or the amount of times I have heard "I don't drink soda" or "I haven't drank soda since I was 6" when offering my friends a soda. Honestly, I am so tired of the judgment. To quote Ron Swanson, " The whole point of this country is if you want to eat garbage, balloon up to 600 pounds and die of a heart attack at 43, you can! You are free to do so. To me, that's beautiful".

I don't believe in meal prep because what am I a 40-year-old man that got super into cross fit after going through a messy divorce? The closest I come to meal prep is grabbing a cheese pizza lunchable from the fridge. The prep is done for me, and I don't have to eat the same chicken and veggies I had for the last three days.

Also so what if I pair my fish with easy mac and tater tots? Does it affect your life? Or if I eat Taco Bell three times in one week? Or if I have a soda or two every day? Does any of this affect anyone but me? No, no it does not! I exercise and maintain a healthy weight, so why do you feel the need to act like I'm 600 hundred pounds and fighting for my life.

I'm sorry you have a problem with the way I eat, but I honestly do not care. I am going to continue to eat my dinosaur nuggets with chips and salsa and a can or two of coke. If I balloon up to a billion pounds, fine by me. If I die early, so be it. Why would I want to live to be one-hundred if I can't be happy? I rather die at 42 with a face full of salty french fries from McDonald's. If meal prepping and drinking *shudders* water make you happy and you want to live to be one-hundred years old and watch all your unhealthy friends die around you then do it, but if eating Taco Bell 6 times a week makes you happy then live your best life!

For my super healthy friends if you will try not to judge me for my unhealthy eating habits then I will try not to judge you for your ridiculous ways of meal prepping and drinking water *shudders*.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
