3 weeks for dreamwidth!

[panda]

It's time to focus on creating content on dreamwidth, which seems like a good time to try to give this comm a re-boot.

Since me doing the check-in posts every day doesn't seem to work so well (sorry guys) does anyone want to offer to do check-ins? If we get enough people, we could get each person to claim one day per week.

Comment with what days(s) you would be willing to do, if you want! Alternately, give some suggestions of food-related topics you'd like to talk about here in the next 3 weeks.

ETA: I'm watching the American documentary Forks Over Knives (2011) (ETA2: sorry, I just realized this trailer needs a TW* for fat shaming, health fear-mongering ("diabetus!!"), weight loss before and after photos and also a brief shot of a surgery in progress where you can see blood trailer, imdb page) which, the official summary says, "[e]xamines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods."

Would anyone be interested in reading a review?

*I apologize if anyone clicked the trailer before I put up the warning and was triggered.

Gomen nasai Panda!!

I've been insanely busy - and I will continue to be so until late May @__@

I can write these check-in posts, though, as I do find it entertaining! I particularly like the beginning of the week, that is, when I have energy, i.e. Sunday and Monday.

If no one else emerges, then I could try to show up throughout the rest of the week!

I'm personally interested in the psychological neuroses connected to eating, but it's rather unappetizing to discuss.

Hi! I hope you are making time to eat even while you are busy! :)

If no one else wants to, you can do the beginning of the week and I can do the end. I think I can manage a couple days a week.

I think that's definitely an important topic when it comes to eating healthy, and we can certainly talk about it. Did you have a particular starting point in mind, or just the topic in general?

I've been scrabbling to find time to sleep. @_@ However, I have indeed found a full stomach helps me relax enough to lose consciousness... (that is, to stop the panic "AHHHH HAVE I READ CHAPTER EIGHT YET? WHEN IS THE EXAM IS IT NEXT WEDNESDAY OR NEXT FRIDAY?? WILL PROFESSOR X CALL ON ME AND HUMILIATE ME IN FRONT OF THE CLASS?")

That sounds reasonable! ^_^ I can start this Sunday. Maybe by then I'll have additional food icons.

I want to discuss the point at which performance anxiety develops into a full-fledged eating aversion!

[panda]

*offers hugs, or tea and cookies* Anxiety is the worst :(

Okay!

That sounds interesting, if you write a post (and be sure to include trigger warnings) I would be happy to read and discuss it.

[claire_chan]

*accepts all gratefully* Tell me about it.

So, a post soon-ish about eating and anxiety (performance, test, family issues, etc)?

[panda]

I look forward to it :)

I would be interested in reading a review of that movie! I had been meaning to see it, but not in a particularly motivated fashion since the general gist of it seems to be "vegetables are good for you" which, y'know, is not exactly the most profound nutritional insight that I have ever encountered.

The short review is if you already understand that lots of fresh fruits and veggies, less meat & dairy, and less processed foods are good for you, then you really don't need to see this movie.

It has more problems than just being mostly obvious information, but I can detail them in a review.
