Great post, Joelle! I just got my first vaccine this morning and bought myself a donut to celebrate. So if it was free? Even better. People who leave nasty comments are a mystery to me. Don't they have something better to do??
I find a lot of diet culture is performative — people want to feel virtuous and superior to other people. I have a Facebook friend who’s part of a diet culture pyramid scheme (a conversation for another time haha) and she’s always losing her sh*t when the Shamrock shake is in season or some fast food place introduces a new ridiculous menu item. I’m always like....so...don’t buy it? Thanks for writing this. And enjoy that donut 😊
Oh, god...it's one of those ones that sells the meals and then you become a "coach" and you recruit other "coaches" into your downline. Like literally every single MLM, its coaches insist it's "not an MLM" and it's a lifestyle blah blah blah. All the posts I see are fat-shaming before and afters, demonization of things like sugar, a whole buttload of misinformation and outright lies (like saying sugar is as addictive as heroin, or that eating past 8pm will make you fat)...ugh. I don't read the posts because they're too triggering.
The measuring tape incident reminds me of this episode of Miss Maisel where they are doing aerobics and taking their measurements. It seems so old school! I have not gotten my free donut yet but I appreciate the businesses that are doing promotions. I am 100 percent in support of any fried food that will encourage people to get the vaccine. Let’s get this done people!

Thanks love. Mystery to me too! And YAY for getting the vaccine -- that's great news. 🎉

Exactly -- just don't buy it if it bugs you so much! And I want to hear more about this pyramid scheme, please.

Yum!! That photo above is from that doughnut shop we went to in SF, by the way. 💛
