food

It's really common these days for people to have a few dietary restrictions. There's nothing inherently wrong with excluding a couple of things for health, or environmental reasons, but obviously, some restrictions are more serious than others. Whatever the case may be, if you know you have some pretty strict food rules, you can't really go around assuming people will prepare the appropriate food for you. Unless you wear a sign everywhere you go, you need to vocalize to people what you need, we're not psychics after all.

Whether you're super thin, chubby, overweight, even extremely healthy, nobody really appreciates it when people comment on their weight. Everybody thinks they are some kind of nutritionist, it's bizarre. Unless you are a licensed doctor, there really is no reason to give your opinion on someone's weight. Even if your intention is solely to give them a compliment it can make them feel uncomfortable. It's really safer to just… not. 

The fact of the matter is that there are so many more interesting things about a person, so why point out something so shallow?

I love to cook, but one frustrating thing about cooking is recipes. They just take so much reading. Some of them are like five steps! Like, just get to the point already, recipe! We all know "process" is fake and you can actually just mix up all the ingredients at once no matter what the dish is. You're just trying to fool me into looking at a website. TikTok's short-video format solves this problem--they give me my recipes how I want them: in rapid-fire. If I miss something because I can't rewind the video, oh well, guess I'll be missing some ingredients. Anyway, I challenged myself to try out a bunch of different TikTok food trends in one week, to see if rapid-fire really works. Here's what I found out.

We all have different tastes, and it's all a-ok. If we all had the same food preferences, types, fetishes, well, life would be quite competitive and even more boring. Variety is the spice of life, and it's what sets us apartas humans. So, if you find yourself liking something that most people hate or vice versa, you should relish the fact that you're definitely not the only one. Unless you were trying to be unique... But that's overrated anyway.

Last week, we drooled over some delicious homemade pizza that we could only dream of making ourselves. This week, we're shifting our focus to some sexy steaks we had the pleasure of viewing on the amazing steak subreddit. We argue that this homemade food just might be more promising than sex itself, but what do you guys think? Scroll down and see for yourself. May the sexy steaks be with you at all times of the day. 

When people go out to restaurants, they're usually expecting the place to have some kind of standard for the food that they're serving to customers. Instagram food account The Shitty Food Blog begs to differ. The purpose of the account is to document the nastiest food creations people have actually spent money on, and after taking a glimpse of the page, we're pretty appalled. Have you purchased or consumed something worse than the food featured below? Let us know in the comments. 

Sex is cool, but have you ever had a homemade pizza? Because if you know what you're doing, we'd argue that it just might be better than sex. Naturally, pizza experts have found each other online, and have been sharing their most Insta-worthy creations on a wonderful subreddit dedicated to nothing but sexy pizzas. We gathered our favorite pizza creations from this week for your exclusive viewing. It's time to delete your toxic f*ckboy's number, and stare at these all day instead. After all, pizza is better than his chiseled abs any day. 

It really can feel like other countries love sh*tting on American culture, and honestly, we deserve it sometimes. We ain't perfect, we got our issues. We don't have free education, high-speed trains, or Kinder eggs — It's honestly a toss-up on which one is the most important of the three. For the most part, we can handle the outside criticism because, as they say, haters gonna hate. But once you start coming for our food it gets personal. Yes, our cheese can come out of a can, what of it?

It's no secret that the stars dictate our lives, from job promotions to friendships to sex lives. Obviously, hot girl summer calls for a helluva lot of partying, and drunchies (read: drunk food cravings) are inevitable to follow. Because the cosmos call the shots about literally everything, it makes sense that our deepest food cravings would be inexplicably tied to our horoscope. Because science, b*tch. In conclusion, you're entitled to scarf down the following drunchies all summer because the zodiac says so. You're welcome. 

Instagram is full of influencers who claim to be fashionistas. However, it's hard to stand out and sell your style in a unique way when there are so many others doing the same thing as you. But one mom has figured out a creative way to encourage hers and her daughter's love for fashion. Painter Alya Chaglar sculpts food into the shape of dresses and holds them up against her young daughter Stefani, making it seem like she is wearing the food clothes. From pizza to broccoli, her fabulous food fashion looks so fun to make. Stefanie certainly looks like she enjoys the poses, and it's clear that a young, budding fashionista is in the works!

We're always working hard to bring in that cash. But sometimes when you're grinding so hard, it's easy to lose sight of what you're working so hard for. A Redditor started a thread the ladies of Reddit what they're willing to blow all their cash on, and the responses are awesome, ranging from fancy travel to scented candles. Whatever you love to buy, keep on truckin' for it and scroll down to get some inspo. 

Everyone dreams of marrying someone with the perfect parents, but unfortunately, most sets of in-laws come with their flaws. Whether they're over-involved, overstep your boundaries, or just overall toxic people, navigating the relationships with your in-laws can be highly complicated. They say you don't just marry a person; you marry their family as well, and so it's important to try and maintain as good a relationship with your in-laws as possible. Unfortunately, some don't make this an easy task. One woman posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole asking what to do about her in-laws, who refused to compromise on eating healthier meals whenever she and her husband visited. She explained how all her in-law's food choices were extremely unhealthy, and when the OP tried making healthier alternatives, they complained and found her cooking equally as disgusting as she found theirs.

Food insecurity is a real issue in the US. Depending on your age, budget, and location, the kinds of food you have access to can be extremely different. In most major cities you can find a wide variety of cheap meals, and bargain prices even on healthy foods. But if you live in a more rural area, unless you are lucky enough to have a garden or farm nearby, the closest place to grab food might be a Mcdonald's or a little gas station.

Twitter user @dremilyportermd struck a conversation online about the major food price differences between her local grocery store and her local Mcdonald's. Some people support her assertions, but other people have strong counter-arguments.
