A little straw man here, a little twisting of the meaning of clean there and voila: trying to eat healthy is classist and racist.
Junk food is being marketed at poor uneducated people. Yes! That is even more reason to fight it, not find escuses to indulge in it. And if you are really into social justice and the like, that yoga guy and the whole white middle class is not the enemy of the poor black guys. They are not the owners of junk food mega corporations, nor do they pass laws to subsidize corn syrup.
If you want to "stick it to the man" stop buying his horrible products.
"Fuck you white middle class yoga guy, I'm eating all the Nestle shit I can find, take that!" - how dumb is this?
- sapote 9y agoAgreed. I'm surprised at the support for this article... I somehow got downvoted for saying that growing one's own food is a great alternative to the narrow perspective the article is pushing.
- Toine 9y agoMost people prefer to find justifications for their generally poor diet choices (ie eating Lucky Charms every day) rather than being objective. Food is really an emotional thing for most of us.
- sprayk 9y agoExcept the author didn't call actual healthy eating classist/racist, nor did he promote the consumption of junk food. It was argued that the use of the label "clean" was classist/racist, and that pursuing it alone is pointless because science.
- vorotato 9y agoI think the maxim "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism" whether true or not is useful here
