Well, hey there, happy November. I actually am recording this episode in October, but I know this

episode is going to air November 6th. And if you live in the USA, that means this is airing

And I also want you to know that food shaming isn't just about being mean and shaming food

and abundance. You can also food shame healthy choices as well. So it is going both ways.

And I'm going to address both ways today because in general,

it's not okay. So we're going to dive into it a little bit deeper. And I also highly suggest you go

back and listen to my episodes 160. That one is titled My Best Tips for Managing Food
