You already know I write about food, and no doubt you’ve figured out that means I cook a lot of food.  I try to time things so that I am cooking this food for an audience, but today I am not.  My last post about sharing my kitchen caused some reminiscing, and it’s fall, and the […]

As much as love having company over, especially for meals, it can sometimes be a challenge for me to share my kitchen.  Guests often want to help, and though I appreciate the offer there aren’t too many people with whom I can comfortably co-cook.  In culinary school team cooking was the norm, and mercifully we […]

I’m not sure how I did it, but by the time I found out about Fat Shaming Week, it was over. This glorious and affirming week was held by an online men’s group that goes by the name of Return of Kings aka ROK.  I am very purposefully not including a link to their site […]

    Karen - Yeah, just what the world needs. More fat shaming.

    Trust me, people who are fat don’t need anyone shaming them. We do a great job on our own.

    Maybe we should host a Low IQ Shaming week? Oh, wait. That would be mean. And discriminatory. Huh, how about that.ReplyCancel

    Rhonda @wine-y wife - I’ve never heard of fat shaming week. Sometimes it’s nice to have your head in the sand when it comes to something like this. It’s unfortunate that people will take things to an extreme and ridicule other people.ReplyCancel

      nrlowell@comcast.net - Yes, but really sad for them… I wouldn’t want to be part of any group that felt it was a good idea to shame anyone.ReplyCancel

    Kate (Shakespeare's Mom) - What a perfectly worded post. Our culture is so obsessed with size and physical beauty and good lord I’m tired of it. It IS fat shaming week every week – you’re so right. I just wanted to share something my two-year-olds recently taught me about beauty. I realized that they have no idea what the word beautiful means, even though I tell them they’re beautiful all the time and they say the same to me. To them, beautiful just means something you really like, or something that’s special to you. One of them pointed to a bottle of shampoo that I had just bought and said, “Is that your beautiful new soap, Mommy?” They also call their dad beautiful. I’m not looking forward to the day they learn to equate beauty with arbitrary cultural standards. Just discovered your blog through the Hump Day Hook-Up and I’m looking forward to checking out all of your food writing!ReplyCancel

      nrlowell@comcast.net - Thanks! I’m glad you liked this post, it was very personal, and I had reservations about posting it at all, but the response I got was so positive Iended up feeling very proud!
      I am on my way to check out your blog!!ReplyCancel

    Lisa Forever Five Blog - UGH. I am disgusted that something like that even exists, though not surprised. As we all know, anything goes on the internet. Wouldn’t it be interesting to meet the people that raised those men? Even more interesting to ask the parents, especially the mothers, “So, what happened to your son that fucked him up so?” Clearly these men are missing out on the best part(s) of life and if they keep up with their group, they probably won’t ever find what it (I am not professing to know what “it” is).ReplyCancel

    Yvonne - Oh dear, those men need to take a look inside themselves and learn some compassion. I just wrote an post last week about how our culture judges so much that it makes it hard for people to reach out for support when they need it, but I wasn’t even thinking of this kind of judgement.ReplyCancel

      nrlowell@comcast.net - Yvonne, you are so right, I can’t imagine that any man who would participate in this has a soul, much less a heart.ReplyCancel
