I reblog social justice stuff and various fandom things, at the moment I'm really into the Star Wars and I'm an unapologetic prequels lover. Feel free to ask me to tag anything or to let me know if I post/reblog anything offensive.

Anonymous : Is it actually unhealthy to eat food at night or is it just fatphobia based on your metabolism being "slower" at night and you might gain weight
This sounds like diet culture crapola to me. Everything I have learned about normal eating in the past few years tell me that it is unhealthy to ignore your hunger cues, whenever they occur. Sometimes people are hungry at night, and if that is the case, they should eat.
Now, there is also a correlation between disordered, restrictive eating and night eating. A very common form of restrictive eating is to restrict all day and then eat the majority of your food in the evening and night. This kind of disordered eating pattern is associated with weight gain. But the cure is not to stop eating at night! The solution is to eat more during the day.
But this is a very common pattern in diet propaganda: 1) Diet culture induces a disordered, restrictive eating pattern; 2) The body adapts to the disordered eating and finds ways to survive anyway (e.g., increasing fat mass; demanding more food at night); 3) Scientists and the medical establishment pathologize the adaptive response to deprivation; and then 4) They recommend ways to eliminate the adaptive response, which usually involves more disordered eating.
See who circular it all is? Diet culture invents a problem, and then offers a solution, which is, miraculously, more of the same restrictive dieting behavior that caused the problem to begin with.
It would be funny if it wasn’t literally killing people.

YES
No but my dad actually did this at McDonalds in the 70s!
So here’s a true story: my father, sometime in the 70s was looking for his first job. He went to the local McDonalds and told the staff, [manager’s name] said I was supposed to start today. They took his word for it and started training him and by the time the manager saw him and asked who he was, people just said “oh that’s the new guy.”
Somehow this actually worked. My dad worked there for a couple of years as a cook. He even won an award plaque which he had on the wall until the day he died.
