As we gather today, let’s try our best to limit comments about bodies and plates, both others’ and our own. Diet culture, weight stigma, and food labeling (good/bad, healthy/unhealthy) no longer deserves a seat at any table, especially on Thanksgiving. Let’s give thanks to our bodies for everything they are able to do to help us work, play, and love.
Commenting on appearance may not seem harmful, especially when it's intended as a compliment. However, it’s better to avoid the topic at all costs.
