Thanksgiving Food Minefield

A tip of the hat to good friend and loyal blog follower Emily Joy for reposting this graphic from more-love.org:

Much of what we consider to be polite conversation during this food-based holiday actually highlights disordered eating. For people struggling with body neutrality or an eating disorder (or both), the Thanksgiving holiday can be a nightmare to negotiate. The chart above gives some helpful scripts for remembering to focus on the person and the people and not the food. And also, take your food police badge off. It has no place at the table.

Kudos to More Love for being a resource committed to helping parents “to raise kids free from body hate, disordered eating, and eating disorders.” Check out some of their other Thanksgiving tips!
