How many times have you ever said to yourself "why can't I just eat a sandwich without thinking about calories and carbs and just move on with my life?"

Why can't you, do you think? I know you want to be free from food rules and dieting. Maybe the questions we need to start asking ourselves is "why do food rules even exist?"

Where did they come from?

Why are they even here?

What is the goal of them? And for what purposes?

I have a few theories.

For one, we live under capitalism. We were born into a world where our worth and value has been measure by efficiency, production, and bottom lines.

This overarching structure and framework doesn't go away when we walk into our kitchen to pick something out to eat.

Maybe this system is responsible for making us feel like we need to eat in certain ways and any missteps deeply threaten our sense of self-worth.

In this podcast episode I dive deeper into the larger systems and structures in place that could be keeping you stuck in a chaotic relationship with food.

It's not about the food. It's about something so much more.
