Kind of a random hill to die on rn but "You'd eat this thing you hate if you got hungry enough" does not set a reasonable expectation of what "hungry enough" means for people with food problems.
Like, are we talking "stomach grumbling" hungry enough, or "can't stand up" hungry enough? Cause personally, I can make myself eat a bit of a pork chop if I'm barfy and shaking and can't see straight anymore, but if it's down to "black out for three days and wake up angry and confused" or "willingly swallow prosciutto", I'm having sleep for dinner. And I know this from experience.
People without food problems don't seem to understand this and it drives me insane. "Hungry enough" is for shit like chewing drywall because the alternative is death or cannibalism.
If I say I can't eat something, It means I can't eat it. It Is Not Edible To Me. It's not even appetizing. It literally does not register as food. You might as well hand me a rubber duck.
And it's frustrating!! Trust me, I wish I wasn't like this, too!! This isn't a choice!! I know it can be rude!! It's embarassing!! It's complicated and annoying and irrational!! That doesn't fix the problem!!
I just wish people didn't treat this sort of thing as "being picky" or lacking willpower or basic manners or something. I can't make myself eat certain foods the way you probably couldn't cut your own fingers off. Does that make sense? It's not just food. Fuck

You’d think they’d want to help people find more and/or better protein sources rather than shaming someone for struggling, but this is exactly the type of person who’s only vegan to stroke their own ego.

WAIT I SAW YOUR TAGS- There's a cooking website that has instructions for everything????
I know right???
Honestly I haven't explored EVERYTHING in the site, but they do link a lot of interesting information in the recipes that pleases my anxiety riddled brain
I found them with this Miso Ramen recipe
and when I went down to "how to soft boiled eggs" i cried because I always fuck that up
and then the vegetable prep has links on how to cut them!!!
I tried the recipe btw and it was delicious ✌😎✨
