My Wish For You
My wish for you is that your interaction with food be gentle.
That it leaves room for both nutritious food, and delicious food, not assuming they are mutually exclusive.
My wish for you is that your interaction with food be self-directed.
That is rooted in body trust and preference and curiosity.
My wish for you is that your interaction with food be functional.
That it is used to calm and soothe, as well as to energize and concentrate and perform.
My wish for you is that your interaction with food be a bit rebellious.
That you break an eating disorder rule, or a diet culture rule, or a rule that was passed down from someone else, carried on without examination, and is now being questioned.
My wish for you is that you hold food as only one, of many, parts of self-care and health promotion.
Yes, food is important. And if you have access to it, it is nowhere near as precious as wellness culture attempts to convince us all that it is.
My wish for you is that food be conceptualized with a wide lens.
Your body is not looking at every item you eat, putting it on a good or bad list, or analyzing anything in a binary fashion. Allergies, notwithstanding. I am far more curious about how a human interacts with food over the course of several weeks than I am about how a human interacts with food in a single day.
My wish for you is that you forgive yourself for any perceived missteps in eating.
Your body can manage all of it.
Leave a food wish for you, your younger self, or a being you love.
