'Tis the season for food shaming. The holidays are here, the parties are in abundance and so are the food choices. Be it at a social gathering or a work celebration, everyone is bringing their favorite fat-laden, calorically-dense offerings to share and we are all expected to indulge. Either that or face the music:
"You have to try my favorite bacon blue cheese dip!"
"Is that all you're having? No wonder you're so skinny!"
"You work out--you can eat as much as you want!"
"Oh, right, you're running in the morning."
Do you feel me? Why do people food shame others? And how do we respond without sounding defensive?
