If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

Indeed. And @joysaha99.bsky.social writes about how the pernicious -maxxing encourages obsessive behaviors with food. "maxxing implies that more is always better. It’s in the name. But that’s not what healthy eating is all about."

and finally, i looked into Man Cereal and how the manosphere has infiltrated the beloved breakfast cereal. before you ask, no, it’s not a joke. it's actually a very real — and completely serious — food product, unfortunately... www.salon.com/2026/05/23/w...

What in the world is Man Cereal?

The high-protein-creatine-no-seed oils-and-no sugar craze has officially tainted the beloved breakfast cereal

i also pushed back on Vogue’s glorification of tiny, impractical snack tins. why is restrictive eating once again being branded as peak femininity and wellness? and why is weakness being romanticized? www.salon.com/2026/05/17/t...

The big problem with those viral tiny snack tins

Mindful snacking doesn’t — and shouldn’t — focus on portion control and so-called aesthetics

earlier this month, i wrote a commentary on the overuse of “-maxxing” — the internet slang suffix that's used to describe optimizing certain aspects of life to an obsessive degree — and why the rhetoric we use within the food + nutrition spaces matters www.salon.com/2026/05/07/e...

Enough with the “-maxxing”

The Gen Z-coined suffix has infiltrated the lifestyle space, encouraging us to obsess over what we eat
