Hey people. Welcome back to Grown Kid. I'm Gail. And I'm Kayla.

Um, so recently I saw this video that I just showed Kayla.

It was a TikTok.

And the text on screen said,

Jim coupled so hard,

we pre-pre-pre-pre-greek yogurt bowls

and bring them to the movie theaters.

And I thought that was so smart.

And literally in the video,

they like show them bringing, like, the Greek

yoga bowl, right? Like, bringing them to the movie theater. It's a great time. I'm like,

And it really just, I found it so funny because I think it's such a true symptom of like how low the standards of

Americans are and also like it goes deeper whether it's the culture of like

anti-intellectualism anti exercise anti like all these things that Americans

just tend to have this notion that anything that you do

that is good for you must be rooted in some deep issue that you have with yourself and so you feel

the need to like perform I suppose for people in a way this kind of also ties to now that being performative is a trend, people call everything performative even when it could just be someone fucking living. And it's just like, the more you call things performative, the more people will fail to understand that sometimes some people are genuinely just like that. So this got me thinking, is it dieting or is it the American food system?

And I just thought it brought an interesting discussion regarding like,

well what the fuck do you do, right? Like, is it fair?

First of all, let me pose a question.
